Abstract

Effects of thermal stratification on magnetized flow of electrically induced Maxwell nanofluid over reactive stretching plate have been analyzed. The nonlinear ordinary differential equations governing the flow problem were obtained by applying Similarity transformation. The resulting model was then solved with the aid of the fourth order Runge-Kutta algorithm along with the shooting technique. Results for pertinent flow parameters were tabulated and analyzed graphically. The Richardson number was noted to appreciate the momentum boundary layer thickness but it decayed both the thermal and solutal boundary layer thicknesses.
