MHD viscoelastic nanofluid flow upon an inclined stretching sheet with radiation, chemical reaction and multiple slip effects-homotopy analysis method

ABSTRACT
An investigation into the computational analysis of magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) flow of a viscoelastic nanofluid (Walters' B' model) over an inclined stretching surface is being carried out in this study. The investigation takes into account numerous slip effects, thermal radiation, and chemical processes. In order to generate the governing partial differential equations (PDEs), similarity transformations are utilized. These equations are then translated into nonlinear ordinary differential equations (ODEs). Utilising the homotopy analysis method (HAM) is the means by which the numerical solution is produced. For the purpose of illustrating the influence of various flow parameters on the effects of magnetic field, thermal radiation, viscoelasticity, chemical reaction rate, and slip effects on momentum, thermal, and solutal curves, a graphical display of the numerical examination is performed at the end of the process. Significant affects of these parameters on the properties of fluid flow, heat and mass transfer are demonstrated by the findings, which have significance for applications in both the industrial and biological fields.
