MHD three-dimensional flow of Maxwell fluid with variable thermal conductivity and heat source/sink

摘要: Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to investigate the three-dimensional flow Maxwell fluid with variable thermal conductivity in presence heat source/sink. Design/methodology/approach Similarity transformations are utilized reduce nonlinear partial differential equations into ordinary equations. governing problems solved by homotopy analysis method. Findings found that velocities decrease while temperature increases for higher Hartman number. It also seen boundary layer thickness and increased an increase parameter source/sink parameter. Practical implications Heat transfer has pivotal role many industrial applications like cooling infinite metallic plate a bath, drawing plastic films, nuclear plants, gas turbines, various propulsion devices missiles, space vehicles processes occurring at high te...
