Abstract

Present article investigates the nonlinear mixed convective flow of Maxwell nanofluid due to stretching cylinder. Electrically conducting fluid is considered in addition to heat and mass transfer. Silent features of thermal radiation, Joule heating, and first-order chemical reaction are attended. Concentration and energy expression consist of Brownian motion and thermophoresis phenomena. Heat and mass transfer are described by convective conditions associated with cylinder. Strong nonlinear systems solve for convergent homotopy solutions. Physical quantities of interest are examined in detail for the influential variables. Our findings show that the velocity, temperature, and concentration fields enhance for higher curvature number.
