Abstract

Abstract Recently, nanofluids are habitually proficient to provide a process to intensify the probable heat transport of a structure with quite rare harmful influences formed by its addition. The usage of nanofluids and their optimum attentions has develop a range of prodigious concern with diverse nanofluid applications existence key to a structures attainment or interruption. Here the phenomena of activation energy and radiation in chemically reactive stagnation point Maxwell nanofluid have been elaborated. The magnetic properties with the influence of chemical reaction is also explored. The thermophoretic and Brownian dispersal are incorporated by utilizing the theory of Buongiorno model. The suitable conversions yield PDEs into ODEs. The facets of momentous parameters are examined via homotopic algorithm. The Brownian motion factor reports conflicting impact on temperature and concentration fields, respectively. The concentration field enhances for activation energy factor and decays for fitted rate constant. The Nusselt number decays for higher thermophoretic and Brownian factors.
