Abstract

The main purpose of this work is to investigate unsteady magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) boundary layer flow of Maxwell fluid over a stretching surface with nonlinear thermal radiation. Heat and mass transfer analysis is carried out in the presence of convective boundary conditions and first-order chemical reaction. A uniform magnetic field is applied normal to the direction of the fluid flow. The nonlinear coupled partial differential equations are solved numerically using an implicit finite difference method with quasi-linearization technique. Effects of the emerging parameters on the dimensionless velocity, temperature and concentration are investigated. The rate of heat transfer in terms of Nusselt number and rate of mass transfer in terms of Sherwood number are also computed and addressed.
