Abstract

Heat transport in a 2D steady radiative boundary layer with Maxwell fluid flow and the influence of heat generation and MHD has been studied across a porous inclined vertical plate. Through similarity transformation, the mathematical modelling is converted to ODEs, and the built-in solver Bvp4c via MATLAB is used to solve. The linear movement of an inclined porous plate introduced the flow. The MHD (M), Prandtl number (Pr), radiation (Rd), Rayleigh number (Ra), local Nusselt number (Nu_x), angle of inclination (γ), and material relaxation time (β) have a considerable impact on the flow field as a result. The local Nusselt numbers and the skin friction coefficient are also given as numbers. The validation with the numerical solution is presented. The results are shown, and a thorough physical analysis has been done. The temperature of the fluid rises due to the greater electric field, increasing the heat transfer on the inclined plate. However, skin friction increases dramatically as the heat radiation parameter rises. The critical findings of this study are that the temperature profile increases and the velocity profile lower as the inclination angle increases. The Maxwell fluid parameter raises the velocity profile as well.
