Velocity Slip and Mass Transfer Effects in the magnetohydrodynamic, Upper-Convected Maxwell Fluid Flow Through a Porous Media

Abstract

The current investigation elucidates the impact of velocity slip and mass transfer phenomena on the magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) flow of upper-convected Maxwell (UCM) fluids traversing a stretchable porous substrate. The fundamental partial differential equations governing this flow problem are transformed into ordinary differential equations by applying similarity transformations. The numerical solutions for the resultant non-linear boundary value problem are derived by employing the Successive Linearization Method (SLM) utilizing Matlab software. The velocity and concentration profiles for extensive ranges of the governing parametric variables are presented, and their behavior is analyzed through graphical representations. It is anticipated that the results obtained from this study will provide valuable insights for practical applications and will establish connections with existing scholarly literature.
