K Suneetha, SM Ibrahim, GV Ramana Reddy, G Lorenzini

The present study examine the influence of chemical reaction and thermal radiation on MHD boundary layer flow of a Maxwell nanofluids past over a stretching sheet. Viscous dissipation effects are also taken into consideration. The governing physical problem is presented using traditional Navier-Stokes theory. By means of scaling group of transformation, consequential system of equations is transformed into a set of nonlinear ordinary differential equations, which are then solved numerically by using the Runge– Kutta–Fehlberg fourth–fifth order method along shooting technique. The working fluid is examined for several sundry parameters graphically and in tabular form. It is noticed that with an increase in magnetic parameter, velocity profile decreases while temperature and nanoparticle fraction enhances. Eckert number enhances flow temperature whereas it decreases heat transfer rate. Rheological fluid parameter contributes increase velocity, but decreases the temperature and nanoparticle fraction. A good agreement of the present results has been observed by comparing with the existing literature results.
