Abstract
Researchers and engineers working in the field of thermal analysis are in the pursuit of innovative methods to improve the performance of energy devices by enhancing their thermal characteristics. Aimed at this purpose, the fluid flow investigation comprising of nanoparticles is supposed to be one of the best significant procedures for augmenting heat transfer systems. The current study describes the investigation of Buongiorno model for the evaluation of transient flow and heat transfer of Maxwell nanofluids over a rotating and vertically moving disk. The significant impact of Lorentz forces due to the interaction of magnetic field applied vertically on Maxwell fluid is also investigated. Additionally, the chemical reaction and thermal radiation effects have been discussed on heat and mass transfer mechanisms. Furthermore, Brownian motion and thermophoresis characteristics are studied due to nanofluids. With the help of similar transformations, the equations of motion are simplified into a set of a nonlinear system of ordinary differential equations. The solution of the problem is presented via numerical technique, namely bvp4c in Matlab. The numerical outcomes are illustrated through graphical and tabular forms. It is observed that the upward and downward motion of the disk exert similar effects to that of the injection/suction through the wall. The boundary layer thickness of temperature and concentration fields are enhanced due to the presence of thermophoresis force. The impact of Lorentz force is to reduce the radial and azimuthal velocities and increase the temperature of nanofluid. Furthermore, it is noticed that the concentration profile reduces with the thermophoresis effect and Schmidt number.
