In this study, we investigated the 2D MHD flow of a dissipative Maxwell nanofluid past an elongated sheet with uneven heat source/sink, Brownian moment and thermophoresis effects. The flow governing PDEs are transmuted into nonlinear ODEs adopting the suitable similarity transmissions. Further, the RK-4 technique is employed to acquire the numerical solutions. The impact of pertinent parameters such as thermal radiation, frictional heating, irregular heat source/sink, biot number, Brownian moment and thermophoresis on the flow quantities such as velocity, thermal and concentration fields likewise friction factor, heat and mass transfer rates are bestowed with the succour of graphs and tables. Dual nature is witnessed for Newtonian and non-Newtonian fluid cases. It is noticed that the heat and mass transfer rate in Newtonian fluid larger as compared with non-Newtonian fluid.

A mathematical model has been proposed for investigating the flow, heat, and mass transfer in Williamson and Casson fluid-flow over a stretching surface. For controlling the temperature and concentration fields we considered the space and temperature dependent heat source/sink and homogeneous-heterogeneous reactions, respectively. Numerical results are carried out for this study by using Runge-Kutta based shooting technique. The effects of governing parameters on the flow, heat and mass transfer are illustrated graphically. Also computed the skin-friction coefficients for axial and transverse directions along with the local Nusselt number. In most of the studies, homogeneous-heterogeneous profiles were reduced into a single concentration equation by assuming equal diffusion coefficients. For the physical relevance, without any assumptions we studied the individual behavior of the homogeneous-heterogeneous profiles. It is found that the rate of heat and mass transfer in Casson fluid is significantly large while equated with the heat and mass transfer rate of Williamson fluid.

Abstract In this paper, the influence of chemical reaction and heat source/sink on an unsteady magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) nanofluid flow that squeezed between two radiating parallel plates embedded in porous media is investigated analytically. We consider water as base fluid and aluminum oxide (Al2O3) as its nanoparticle. We reduced the basic partial differential equations to ordinary differential equations which are solved by the homotopy analysis method (HAM). The effects of the squeeze number, permeability parameter of porous media, Hartmann number, thermal radiation parameter, Prandtl number, heat source/sink parameter, Eckert number, Schmidt number, and scaled parameter of chemical reaction on the flow, heat, and mass transfer are considered and assigned to graphs. The physical quantities such as Sherwood number, Nusselt number, and skin friction coefficient are computed for Al2O3–water, TiO2–water, Ag–water, and Cu–water nanofluids and assigned through graphs.
