Abstract

This study delves into the investigation of Maxwell fluid flow across a sheet with a particular effort on the melting heat and zero mass flux at the boundary. A Maxwell fluid, characterized by both viscous and elastic responses, plays a pivotal role in various industrial and biological applications. The mathematical model describing Maxwell fluid flow is represented using non-linear momentum and energy equations, incorporating MHD. Similarity transformation is used to change from partial differential equation to ordinary differential equation. The introduction of a phase change term in the energy equation accounts for the melting heat effect at the boundary. The BVP4C solver using MATLAB is hired to numerically answer the system of equations, enabling the determination of the steady-state solution. The solution of this investigation offers valuable insights into the interplay between viscoelasticity and melting heat effects on various flow characteristics, including velocity and temperature profiles. The practical significance of this research is evident in polymer processing, food processing, and materials engineering, where the understanding of Maxwell fluids and their interaction with melting boundaries is essential for process optimization and product quality. So far in the literature survey no one have considered Melting heat effect along with Maxwell fluid. The conclusion for this study is that Melting heat effect increases velocity profile and decreases the temperature profile. This is the main conclusion of this research.
