Abstract

The motion of Maxwell and Williamson nanofluids across a decreasing surface with slip conditions is mathematically analyzed. The Modified Homotopy analysis methodology (MHAM) is deployed to tackle the governing transformed ordinary differential equations. Significant agreement is identified when comparing the obtained dimensionless approximate analytical solutions for temperature, concentration and velocity with the numerical result. A graphic illustration is delivered for the implications of numerous physical factors, including fluid factors, radiation, and slip factors. Both Maxwell and Williamson fluids' physical variables of importance, such as the skin friction factor, Sherwood and Nusselt number, are computed and presented in tabular form.
