- Abstract
The non‐Newtonian fluids have abundant implications in versatile fields of chemical, mechanical, and biological engineering. Furthermore, the non‐Newtonian fluids flowing through the porous medium are very useful in petroleum and industrial engineering. Heat transport analysis with radiation has major appliances in fusion reactors, heat exchangers, solar energy, aircrafts engines, turbine cooling, and many others. Having all these important appliances in view, the present study is focused on the heat transfer analysis of an incompressible two‐dimensional viscoelastic magnetohydrodynamic Maxwell non‐Newtonian liquid flow in a porous space. The magnetic field is uniformly applied tangential to the flow direction and the lower‐channel wall is heated by induction as a consequence of the Lorentz force. The effect of thermal radiation is taken to foresee the physical occurrence of heat kinetics from an applied point of view. Similarity transformation is considered in reducing the governing partial differential equations into ordinary differential equations and a numerical solution is computed using the shooting technique. The results obtained are compared with the published literature. The effects of flow quantities are illustrated graphically and analyzed with physical meaning. In view of engineering applications, the effects of Reynolds on skin friction coefficient and rate of heat transfer are presented.
