MHD Maxwell Nanofluid flow over a Stretching Spinning Disk with Spatially Varying Magnetic Field

Abstract

The present article deals with the study of Maxwell nanofluid flow towards a stretching and spinning disk. To understand the flow of the fluid more effectively the impact of spatially varying magnetic field was considered. The effect of non-uniform heat source was also introduced as it in fluences the temperature distribution and heat characteris tics of fluid flow caused by rotating a disk. The chemical reaction parameter is included to understand the nature of re active processes occurring within the fluid medium. By con
sidering all the parameters, system of governing PDE was formulated and these obtained equations were then trans formed into ODE’s by making use of well- defined set of similarity transformations. The obtained ODEs are later solved by numerical method MATLAB BVP4c. Here Matlab BVP4c uses Collocation in addition Lobatto implicit Runge–Kutta method. The non dimensional physical pa rameters obtained for velocity, temperature, and concentra tion profiles were represented graphically and tables. It was
found that increment in the radiation parameter hike the temperature profile.
