Abstract

The study is to investigate the stagnation point flow of a Maxwell Nanofluid. To make the present paper more realistic, the Cattaneo- Christove heat source effect was included. The theory of Cattaneo-Christov shows that the mass transport and heat mechanisms of the fluid can be improved by replacing Fick's and Fourier laws. The active energy was introduced to study more about the fluid nature. After examining the physical phenomena of the fluid flow, the governing equations(PDE'S) were constructed. The well-defined similarity transformations were used to convert the PDE's to a system of coupled ODE's. The Matlab-BVP4c is used to solve these ODE's. The results were interpreted through Graphs. It is observed that the velocity outline decreases as the Deborah number 𝜛 increases, and also it is noticed that a rise in the magnetic field decays the velocity profile.

Keywords
