| Abstract: |
| In this article a mathematical model is developed to study the flow, heat transfer and entropy of the Maxwell nanofluid over a linearly stretching porous surface. The slip conditions are employed at the boundary and the thermal conductivity is considered as a function of temperature. Moreover a uniform magnetic field is applied in the transverse direction to the flow. The governing continuity, momentum, energy and entropy equations are first transformed using suitable similarity transformation technique and then solved numerically using shooting technique along with fourth order RK method. The graphs are plotted for non-dimensional velocity, temperature and entropy profiles for different values of governing parameters and are discussed from physical point of view. |
