| Summary: | In this paper, the magnetohydrodynamic
(MHD) Maxwell fluid past a stretching plate with suction/
injection in the presence of nanoparticles is investigated.
The Lie symmetry group transformations are used
to convert the boundary layer equations into non-linear
ordinary differential equations. The dimensionless governing
equations are solved numerically using Bvp4c with
MATLAB, which is a collocation method equivalent to
the fourth order mono-implicit Runge-Kutta method. The
effects of some physical parameters, such as the elastic
parameter K, the Hartmann number M, the Prandtl
number Pr, the Brownian motion Nb, the thermophoresis
parameter Nt and the Lewis number Le, on the velocity,
temperature and nanoparticle fraction are studied numerically
especially when suction and injection at the sheet
are considered.
