Abstract

We discuss the three-dimensional boundary layer flow of Maxwell nanofluid in the present article. The flow is caused due to bidirectional stretching surface. An applied magnetic field is taken into account. Heat and mass transfer characteristics are considered in the presence of thermal radiation, Brownian motion, thermophoresis and chemical reaction effects. Mathematical modelling is made under a low magnetic Reynolds number and Rosseland’s approximation. Expressions of series solutions for velocities, temperature and concentration are developed. Impacts of influential parameters on the temperature and concentration are sketched and examined. Numerical values of local Nusselt and Sherwood numbers are computed and analyzed. We found that an increase in thermophoresis and Brownian motion parameters enhanced the temperature field and thermal boundary layer thickness. The concentration field reduced gradually when we enhance the values of Lewis number and chemical reaction parameter. The values of local Nusselt number are higher for a larger radiation parameter.
