Abstract

This article is devoted to the numerical and series solutions of magnetohydrodynamic steady flow of Maxwell fluid with nanoparticles. Double stratification effects in the presence of thermal radiation are employed in the thermal and nanoparticle mass species expressions. The governing nonlinear systems of equations are coupled through mixed convection. A numerical algorithm namely shooting technique is employed to find the numerical solutions of velocity, temperature and nanoparticle concentration. The series solutions are obtained via homotopic criteria. The velocity, temperature and nanoparticle concentration for various values of physical parameters are presented and discussed. Comparison of homotopic and numerical solutions with previous published work is computed in a limiting sense.
