Influence of heat source/sink on a Maxwell fluid over a stretching surface with convective boundary condition in the presence of nanoparticles
In this article, heat source/sink effects on the steady boundary layer flow of a Maxwell fluid over a stretching sheet with convective boundary condition in the presence of nanoparticles are reported. An appropriate similarity transformation is employed to transform the governing equations in partia...

In this article, heat source/sink effects on the steady boundary layer flow of a Maxwell fluid over a stretching sheet with convective boundary condition in the presence of nanoparticles are reported. An appropriate similarity transformation is employed to transform the governing equations in partial differential equations form to similarity equations in ordinary differential equations form. The resulting equations are then solved numerically using shooting technique. Results for the velocity, temperature and concentration distributions are presented graphically for different values of the pertinent parameters. It is found that the local Nusselt number is smaller and local Sherwood number is higher for Maxwell fluids compared to Newtonian fluids. |
