Slip flow of Maxwell viscoelasticity-based micropolar nanoparticles with porous medium: a numerical study

This article presents the mass and heat transport aspects in viscoelastic nanofluid flows under the presence of velocity slip conditions. To explore the non-Newtonian behavior, a Maxwell viscoelasticity-based micropolar is considered. Moreover, a porous medium saturates the stretching sheet. A set of similarity variables is introduced to derive the dimensionless ordinary differential equations of velocity, concentration, and temperature profiles. The numerical solution is computed by using the MATLAB bvp4c package. The salient flow features of velocity, concentration, and temperature profiles are described and discussed through various graphs. It is observed that with an increase in the slip parameter, the micro-rotation velocity also increases. The temperature of nanoparticles gets maximum values by varying the viscoelastic parameter and the porosity parameter while an opposite trend is noted for the micro-rotation parameter. The local Nusselt number and the local Sherwood number increase by increasing the viscoelastic parameter, the porosity parameter, and the slip velocity parameter. The graphical computation is performed for a specified range of parameters, such as 0 <= M <= 2.5, 0 <= sigma(m) <= 2.5, 0 <= K-1 <= 1.5, 0.5 <= Pr <= 3.0, 0 <= sigma <= 1.5, 0.5 <= Sc <= 2.0,0.2 <= N-b <= 0.8, and 0.2 <= N-t <= 0.8.
