Abstract
The current analysis explores the impact of thermophoretic particle deposition and magnetic dipole in the flow of Maxwell liquid over a stretching sheet. Using suitable transformations, the modelling equations are changed into a system of ordinary differential equations (ODEs). Finally, the Runge Kutta Fehlberg 45 (RKF 45) process with shooting technique is then utilized to solve these equations numerically. The impact of relevant parameters on flow fields, heat and mass transfer along with skin friction, Sherwood number, thermophoretic diffusive deposition velocity and Nusselt number are studied and discussed in detail using graphical representations. Results reveal that, the improvement in ferromagnetic interaction parameter value deteriorates the velocity gradient but improves heat and mass transfer. Also, when compared to Maxwell fluid, the heat transfer characteristics of Newtonian liquid is sturdily affected and decays faster for boost up values of both thermophoretic parameter and thermophoretic coefficient. The escalating values of Schmidt number and Maxwell parameter progresses the thermophoretic diffusive deposition velocity but, converse trend is depicted for escalation values of thermophoretic parameter.
