Abstract

Here, we employ computational methods to study the impacts of heat production and radiation fascination on the movement of a chemically reactive flow of Maxwell fluid in a magnetic field via a vertically slanted permeable plate. A boundary layer approximation is carried out to construct a flow that accurately captures the time-independent equations for momentum, energy and concentration. Partial differential equations describe the path taken by the electrically conducting fluid as it moves through the porous media. The RK45 method is then used to assess the solutions once appropriate dimensionless variables have been applied. In addition, tables and graphs are used to clarify the physical contribution of important parameters like the Prandtl number (Pr), the Maxwell fluid parameter (β), the Lewis number (Le), the Rayleigh number (Ra), the magnetic parameter (M), the inclined plate (γ), the buoyancy ratio (Nr), the heat generation parameter (Q), the radiation parameter (Rd) and the chemical reaction parameter (Kr), the skin friction formulas and the Nusselt number are calculated, both used to quantify heat and mass transmission. Finally, a graphical representation of the change in magnetic parameters across a range of Rd embedded factor values is shown.
