Numerical Solution for Stagnation Point Flow of a Maxwell Fluid Over a Stretched Surface with Thermal and Concentration Buoyancy Effects

Abstract

The motivation behind this introduction is to ponder the numerical reproduction of the stagnation point stream of a Maxwell liquid past an extending surface presented to heat and solutal lightness impacts. Numerical solutions have been determined through the Runge-Kutta-Gill method (RK Gill). Similarity solutions are calculated and presented graphically for non-dimensional velocity, temperature, and concentration, local rate of heat and mass transfer with pertinent parameters. Validation of results is achieved by comparison with earlier results for clear fluid studies. It is found that heat and mass transfer rates are reduced in the assisting flow region and the opposite results were observed due to increment in fluid Deborah number. Such issues have a few applications in engineering and petroleum industries, for example, electroplating, substance handling of heavy metals and solar water heaters.
