Abstract

Currently, various researchers achieved theoretical and experimental works to scrutinize the influence of nanofluid in diverse forms of heat exchangers. In any engineering applications heat exchangers are critical components. Nanofluids are colloidal assortment of non-metallic or metallic particles suspended in base liquid. This study communicates a critical analysis of heat transport application of nanofluid. We established a model for unsteady flow of Maxwell nanofluid with the aspect of thermal radiation due to stretched cylinder. Moreover, heat source/sink is considered. Appropriate conversions yield the ordinary differential equations (ODEs) and then solved via homotopic methodology. Graphical outcomes of the velocity, temperature and concentration fields for influential parameters are plotted and discussed physically. The achieved outcomes specify that the temperature and concentration distribution increases for the higher unsteadiness parameter, curvature parameter and Maxwell parameter. Moreover, both thermophoresis and Brownian motion parameters enhances the thermal energy transport in flow.
