Abstract

We embarked on an investigation with potential implications for studying blood flow within the cardiovascular system; keeping this application in mind, this investigation aims to provide numerical evaluations for a complex problem involving MHD flow, chemical reactivity, and energy transfer of a Maxwell fluid within a channel. The governing equations for momentum, concentration, and energy are renovated into ODEs for concentrated analysis using a similarity transformation. Dimensionless velocity, temperature, and concentration fields corresponding to steady motions of Maxwell fluid over a channel are numerically recognized using the bvp4c inbuilt software in MATLAB. We validated our results with existing work to check the gained results and got an excellent agreement. The impression of physical parameters on fluid motion is plotted and debated. The quantitative outcome of this study is that the Deborah number surges, and both velocity and temperature experience enhancement while the concentration within the fluid diminishes. This knowledge can be applied to various fields, such as material processing, biomedical engineering, and environmental sciences, to optimize processes and design systems accordingly. The outcomes and key findings of this study indicate that concentration distribution declines with the introduction of a chemical reaction and a complex Schmidt number. Additionally, the quantitative results of this learning are that the impression of the magnetic parameter is observed, resulting in reduced velocity and temperature profiles, while concentration profiles exhibit an increase across the entire domain. Furthermore, the rise in the Reynolds number corresponds to an escalation in the temperature outline. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
