The heat and mass transfer of unsteady two-dimensional flow of a bio-convective non-Newtonian Maxwell nanofluid past an exponentially stretching sheet is presented. A viscous dissipation and external magnetic field along multiple slip conditions and chemical reactions are incorporated. The governing partial differential equations are reduced to the system of ordinary differential equations by applying suitable transformations. Using the bvp4c -shooting technique, we were able to solve the boundary value problem. The influence of the obtained parameters are deliberated graphically on the velocity, concentration, temperature, and microorganism profile. The tabulated values of skin friction, Nusselt number, mass flux rate, and microorganism rate along various parameters are computed and examined. The findings show that the value of the skin friction, Nusselt number, Sherwood number, and microorganism number decline due to enhancement in the time relaxation parameter.

An attempt has been made to study the heat and mass transfer effect in a boundary layer MHD flow of an electrically conducting viscous fluid subject to transverse magnetic field on an exponentially stretching sheet through porous medium. The effect of thermal radiation and heat source/sink has also been discussed in this paper. The governing nonlinear partial differential equations are transformed into a system of coupled nonlinear ordinary differential equations and then solved numerically using a fourth-order Runge-Kutta method with a shooting technique. Graphical results are displayed for nondimensional velocity, temperature, and concentration profiles while numerical values of the skin friction local Nusselt number and Sherwood number are presented in tabular form for various values of parameters controlling the flow system.

PurposeIn this paper, we studied the steady flow of a radiative magnetohydrodynamics viscoelastic fluid over an exponentially stretching sheet. This present work incorporated the effects of Soret, Dufour, thermal radiation and chemical reaction.Design/methodology/approachAn appropriate semi-analytical technique called homotopy analysis method (HAM) was used to solve the resulting nonlinear dimensionless boundary value problem, and the method was validated numerically using a finite difference scheme implemented on Maple software.FindingsIt was observed that apart from excellence agreement with the results in literature, the results obtained gave further insights into the behaviour of the system.Originality/valueThe purpose of this research is to investigate heat and mass transfer profiles of a MHD viscoelastic fluid flow over an exponentially stretching sheet in the influence of chemical reaction, thermal radiation and cross-diffusion which are hitherto neglected in previous studies.
