Abstract

This research describes mixed convective Maxwell nanoliquid stretching flow subject to Newtonian heating. Porous medium characteristics are elaborated utilizing non-Darcian relation. Modeling is based on Brownian movement, heat generation, thermophoresis and chemical reaction aspects. Boundary-layer idea is employed for simplification of governing expressions. Optimal homotopy algorithm is implemented for computations of nonlinear problems. Besides, the Sherwood and Nusselt numbers along with temperature, velocity and nanoparticle concentration are analyzed. Our outcomes reveal opposite characteristics for porosity factor and Deborah number against velocity field.
