This study examines the numerical representation of fluid flow on the Maxwell model in a double-diffusive boundary layer over a horizontal plate. The investigation incorporates slip conditions, encompassing momentum slip, thermal slip, and suction parameters. Moreover, the study includes the inspiration of thermal radiation, heat generation, and mass transfer. The governing partial differential equations (pertaining to momentum, continuity, energy transport, and mass transport) are transformed into ordinary differential equations (ODEs) using appropriate similarity transformations. To solve these equations in conjunction with suitable boundary conditions, the bvp4c inbuilt software is implemented. This is achieved through the shooting approach employed in MATLAB. A comprehensive agreement between the numerical technique and previously published findings demonstrates its efficacy. The outcomes are presented through graphical representations and tables, showcasing various parameters such as momentum slip, temperature slip, local Nusselt number, Sherwood number, and suction parameter. The primary motivation of this research lies in investigating the behaviour of Maxwell fluid flow in the absence of slip conditions. The study of Maxwell fluid flow over a flat plate with the combined effects of suction, thermal slip, and momentum slip conditions has a wide range of practical applications that span multiple industries, contributing to improved designs, efficiency, and understanding of fluid behaviour in various systems. The main aim of this study is to present streamlined results under varying conditions, explicitly investigating the influence of suction effects and slip conditions on the flow.


Introduction
Due to the importance of heat transmission in the design and operation of heating and cooling systems, thermal engineering strongly depends on the study of heat transfer.In several scientic domains, heat transfer and solute transport play an important role, including nuclear reactors, plastic extrusion, electronic appliance cooling, and polymer manufacturing.The study of suction, thermal slip, and momentum slip in the context of Maxwell uid ow over a horizontal plate is of great importance for understanding the behaviour of complex viscoelastic uids in practical applications.These effects inuence the stress distribution, temperature prole, and velocity prole near the boundary, and their consideration is crucial for optimizing various engineering processes involving Maxwell uid.Researchers and engineers continue to explore these effects to develop more accurate models and design guidelines for applications involving these unique uids.

Objective of this study
Examining the ow of Maxwell uid over a at plate, while considering the combined inuence of thermal slip and momentum slip conditions, along with the effect of suction, constitutes a research endeavour situated within the domains of uid dynamics and heat transfer.This study has implications for industries such as polymer processing and materials manufacturing.Including slip conditions (momentum and thermal slip) reects real-world scenarios where uid-solid interactions are not purely no-slip.Studying these slip conditions is essential for applications such as microuidics, where slip effects become signicant due to the small scale of the system.The introduction of suction at the plate's surface is oen used to control or manipulate the ow in various engineering applications.Understanding the impact of these boundary conditions on Maxwell uid ow can help design systems with enhanced control over uid behaviour.

The novelty of this research
According to the literature, the thermal radiation and momentum slip inuence of the boundary layer over a Maxwell uid ow on a horizontal plate in terms of heat mass transfer across a at plate has yet to be thoroughly investigated by any other authors in the literature.All others in the literature researched only Maxwell uid ow on a horizontal scale with the combination of fewer parameters, and few more authors have performed their work in different uids and geometries.So, the critical goal of this study is to solve governing equations involving radiation, heat generation, velocity slip conditions, thermal slip conditions, and suction parameter.A system of ODEs was solved in MATLAB-encoded bvp4c aer the similarity transformation was carried out successfully for PDEs.Validation is achieved through comparison to a current study.The results are given for streamlining the suction effect and slip conditions for different values.

Mathematical modeling
This article developed the theory of Maxwell uid ow in a horizontal plate's boundary layer at a steady state.The u* & v* velocity mechanisms are measured along the x & y axes.Heat generation, radiation, velocity slip, and suction effect are measured.The elongation of the at plate occurs along the xaxis.Temperature T and solute concentration C are held constant at T w and C w along the y-axis of the horizontal plate (i.e., y = 0).The ambient concentration is denoted as C N , respectively, at y > 0. Using the Oberbeck-Boussinesq approximation, we examine the incompressible, laminar ow of the Maxwell boundary layer across a at plate.q r is the radiative heat ux calculated using q r = −(4s*/3k*)vT 4 /vy.Here, s*and k* represent the Stephan-Boltzmann coefficient and the mean absorption coefficient.Haughty that the temperature variances in the ow are small enough, T 4 can be represented as a linear function of temperature.This is achieved by mounting T 4 about the ambient temperature T N and ignoring the higher-order terms to arrive at T 4 y 4TT N 3 − 3T N 4 at the solution.

Equation of continuity in the dimensional form
The continuity equation is oen combined with other equations, such as the Navier-Stokes equations for uid motion, to analyze and solve complex uid ow problems.It provides valuable insights into the behavior of uids and is a fundamental tool in engineering and physics (from ref. 35 and 36).
In a Maxwell uid ow, the behavior of the uid can be described by a differential equation known as the Maxwell model, which relates the shear stress (s) to the rate of change of shear rate (du/dt) and the relaxation time (l 2 ) of the uid.
2.4 Energy conservation in the dimensional form [using ref. 37-41] Heat generation on a at plate can profoundly affect the performance and behavior of various systems.It is a critical factor in applications across multiple industries, including electronics cooling, aerospace and automotive engineering, industrial processes, and energy generation.

Mass transfer over a horizontal plate is a fundamental chemical engineering and uid dynamics phenomenon.It plays a crucial role in various industrial processes and applications.

Boundary conditions of the at plate
Momentum slip occurs when there is a difference in the velocity between the uid and the solid boundary.In Maxwell uid ow over a horizontal plate, the momentum slip effect can modify the velocity prole near the surface, leading to changes in the boundary layer thickness and shear stress distribution.This has signicant implications for drag reduction and control of uid ow.Thermal slip refers to the difference in temperature at the uid-solid interface, leading to heat transfer effects that affect the boundary layer development [from ref .42].
Here, the thermal slip length (b 1 ) characterizes how the uid temperature deviates from the temperature of the solid surface as one moves away from the boundary.A more considerable thermal slip length indicates a more signicant departure from the solid surface temperature.In contrast, a smaller thermal

slip length implies that the uid temperature closely matches the solid surface temperature.As with the velocity slip length, the thermal slip length typically represents the distance over which the temperature gradient in the uid inuences the heat transfer behavior near the solid boundary.The suction of uid at the boundary has a signicant inuence on the ow dynamics.Suction denotes the removal of uid from the boundary.In the context of Maxwell uids, the occurrence of suction can alter the stress distribution near the at plate.
Let us introduce dimensionless quantities to convert PDEs into ordinary differential equations (from ref. 43).
rU N represents the magnetic eld.
Velocity slip is a phenomenon that occurs when a uid ows on a solid surface, such as a at plate, and the uid velocity at the surface is different from the velocity of the solid surface itself.This effect contrasts with the "no-slip" boundary conditions, which assume that the uid velocity at the solid surface is zero and the uid adheres to the surface.In the case of a horizontal plate, if there is a velocity slip effect, the uid particles near the solid surface do not adhere to the surface and have a non-zero velocity component tangential to the surface.This slip velocity is typically denoted as "l" and represents the relative motion between the uid and the solid surface.Various factors, including the nature of the surface, surface roughness, and the presence of a thin layer of gas or other materials near the surface can cause the slip velocity.
Thermal slip, similar to velocity slip, is a phenomenon that occurs when a uid ows on a solid surface, such as a at plate, and the temperature of the uid at the surface differs from the temperature of the solid surface itself.This effect is in contrast to the "no-slip" thermal boundary conditions, which assume that the uid temperature at the solid surface is equal to the temperature of the surface.In the case of a at plate with a thermal slip effect, it means that the uid near the solid surface does not instantly adjust to the temperature of the solid, and there is a temperature difference between the uid and the solid.This thermal slip is typically denoted as "b" and represents the difference in temperature between the uid and the solid surface at the point of contact.The thermal slip effect can be caused by various factors, including the solid surface's thermal properties, a thin insulating layer, and the nature of the uid-solid interaction.
PDEs oen involve numerous physical parameters, such as viscosity, density, velocity, and length scales.Nondepersonalization helps simplify these equations by expressing these parameters in terms of dimensionless numbers.This decreases the number of parameters and makes the equations more manageable.Using dimensionless quantities and similarity variables, the PDEs turned into ODEs.ODEs are generally easier to solve numerically than PDEs.Non-dimensional PDEs can simplify the numerical solution process, reducing the computational effort and resources required for simulations.The use of non-dimensional quantities in converting PDEs to ODEs is a valuable technique for simplifying complex problems, making them more tractable, and providing valuable insights into the behaviour of physical systems.

Results and discussion
This study examines the numerical representation of uid on the Maxwell model in a double-diffusive boundary layer on a horizontal plate.The investigation incorporates slip conditions, encompassing momentum slip, thermal slip, and suction parameters.Moreover, the study incorporates the effects of radiation, heat generation, and mass transfer.By utilizing appropriate similarity transformations, the governing PDEs (pertaining to momentum, continuity, energy transport, and mass transport) are transformed into ODEs.To solve this system of equations in conjunction with suitable boundary conditions, we used built-in "bvp4c" soware in MATLAB.A comprehensive agreement between the numerical technique and previously published ndings demonstrates its efficacy.The outcomes are presented through graphical representations and tables, showcasing parameters such as momentum slip, temperature slip, local Nusselt number, Sherwood number, and suction parameter.Maxwell uid ow across a horizontal plate is a popular topic of computational research in the scientic literature.Here, we have discussed the theoretical aspects of this issue, including thermal slip, momentum slip, suction, thermal radiation, Eckart number (Ec), and heat generation.Unless otherwise stated, this study's default/unchanged parameters are Pr = 6.8,Ec = 0.1, De = 0.1, Rd = 1, Q = 0.1, l = 0.5, f w = 1.0, b = 0.5, and Sc = 2.0.
Tables 2 and 3 show the computational results of the temperature gradient, Sherwood number and Nusselt number for various physical variables.Table 2 reveals that Nu x is boosted with Rd, Q, and Ec while it is reduced when the values of l, b, and f w increase.The Nusselt number Nu x is a dimensionless number that plays a crucial role in at plate boundary value problems, particularly in the context of forced convection heat transfer.The Nusselt number quanties the convective heat transfer rate from a horizontal plate to a moving uid.It is used to characterize heat transfer efficiency and is oen employed in the analysis and design of heat exchangers, cooling systems, and various other engineering applications.Sh x is shown in Table 3 for multiple values.A gradual increment is observed with different values of l, f w and Sc.The Sherwood number is dimensionless and provides information about the mass transfer behavior near the at plate's surface.It depends on factors such as the ow velocity, uid properties, and the concentration difference between the uid and the plate surface.Engineers and scientists use correlations or experimental data to determine the local mass transfer coefficient and calculate the Sherwood number for specic ow conditions.The Sherwood number is critical for predicting the mass transfer rate and concentration distribution in forced convection mass transfer situations involving at plates.It is applicable in various elds, including chemical engineering, environmental engineering, and food processing, where mass transfer processes play a vital role.

Fluid ow eld in the absence of slip conditions
Fig. 1-9 display the temperature prole, concentration prole and stream line results for various values of b, l, f w , and Sc.Fig. 1 illustrates the streamline under conditions without suction parameters, while Fig. 2 showcases the same streamline with the inclusion of suction.Lastly, Fig. 3 provides insight into the uid ow behavior in the absence of momentum slip.In uid ow, the no-slip boundary condition is a fundamental concept that describes the behavior of uid molecules at a solid boundary or surface.When suction is equal to zero on a at plate (meaning that there is no mass being extracted from the uid at the plate's surface), the streamlines of the ow play a signicant role in describing the behavior of the uid.With suction equal to zero, there is no net mass transfer between the uid and the at plate's surface.This implies that the uid remains in contact with the plate, and there is no removal or injection of uid material at the boundary.The absence of suction means that the uid will closely adhere to the plate's surface according to the no-slip boundary conditions.These conditions dictate zero uid velocity at the plate's surface.As a result, the uid follows the contours of the at plate, and streamlines are shaped accordingly.A boundary layer forms near the plate when a uid ows on a solid surface with no-slip conditions.This boundary layer is a region where the velocity of the uid changes signicantly from zero at the plate's surface to the free-stream velocity away from the plate.The streamlines within this boundary layer depict the gradual increase in velocity from zero at the wall to the free-stream velocity.As one moves away from the at plate (vertically upward, for example), the streamlines start to resemble those of the free-stream ow.The streamlines farther away from the plate will have a nearly constant velocity, and the presence of the boundary layer will lessen their inuence.

Temperature prole
Observing the behavior of temperature proles, it becomes evident that as the thermal slip conditions increase incrementally, there is a noticeable reduction in temperature.Thermal slip, in this context, means the heat exchange between the uid and the thermal ow at the wall boundary, resulting in heat loss.Fig. 4 elucidates the impact of increasing thermal slip parameters on thermal distribution.It is apparent that thermal

Nanoscale Advances Paper
diffusion diminishes as the thermal slip conditions grow.This phenomenon occurs due to the amplication of the thermal gradient.Thermal slip conditions pertain to how temperature behaves at the uid and solid interface.In the absence of thermal slip (commonly referred to as no-slip conditions), the temperature at the solid surface is typically assumed to be equal to the solid surface temperature.However, when thermal slip is present, the uid's temperature at the solid boundary may differ from the solid surface temperature.Positive thermal slip allows for the adjustment of energy transfer between the solid and the uid, either enhancing or diminishing it, depending on the temperature gradient.Analogous to the velocity boundary layer in uid ow, a temperature boundary layer forms near the solid surface.Within this layer, the uid's temperature undergoes a rapid transition from the wall temperature (usually constant) to the bulk temperature of the uid.The thickness of this thermal boundary layer hinges on the thermal properties of the uid and the intensity of the slip conditions.As thermal slip conditions intensify, the slip velocity of uid particles at the solid-uid interface increases.This slip velocity characterizes the relative motion between the uid and the solid surface, which can signicantly inuence heat transfer by altering energy transport from the solid surface into the uid.
Increasing slip velocity can lead to a reduction in thermal conduction at the solid-uid interface.
In the conventional no-slip scenario, uid particles near the wall have zero velocity, and heat transfer primarily occurs through conduction.Nevertheless, thermal slip introduces relative motion, which can impede this conduction.Conversely, the slip conditions can enhance convective heat transfer within the thermal boundary layer.The relative motion between the uid and the solid surface promotes increased heat transport through convection.As the slip conditions strengthen, this convective heat transfer may surpass thermal conduction.Consequently, these mechanisms contribute to deviations in the temperature outline within the thermal boundary layer compared to the expected prole under no-slip conditions.The precise temperature distribution relies on the specic slip conditions, uid properties, and ow parameters at play.
The suction parameter (by considering f w = 0, 0.5, 1.0, 1.5) inuence on the temperature outline is presented in Fig. 5; f w leads to a fall-off in the temperature outline.Suction can also induce mixing of uids at different temperatures, which can lead to complex temperature proles and gradients near the boundary.The temperature prole on a horizontal plate is closely related to the thickness of the thermal boundary layer.The thermal boundary layer is the region of the uid where the temperature changes signicantly as it adjusts from the wall temperature (usually a constant) to the bulk temperature of the uid.The thinner velocity boundary layer with suction also implies a thinner thermal boundary layer.Suction reduces the thickness of the thermal boundary layer, which means less uid is available to conduct heat from the solid surface.This can result in a decrease in thermal conduction through the uid near the plate.Despite the reduced thermal conduction, suction

Paper Nanoscale Advances
can enhance convective heat transfer.The thinner boundary layer and higher uid velocity can lead to more efficient convective heat transport.This effect can dominate over the reduction in thermal conduction, mainly when the suction is strong.The combined effect of reduced thermal conduction and enhanced convective energy transfer leads to changes in the overall temperature gradient near the at plate.In many cases, the temperature gradient becomes steeper with suction because heat is transported away from the surface more efficiently due to enhanced convection.Depending on the specic suction conditions, suction can also lead to a more uniform temperature prole across the at plate.This is because it reduces the temperature difference between the surface and the bulk uid, making the temperature more consistent along the plate's length.

Concentration prole
Fig. 6 presents the behaviour of the concentration eld by considering l while the other parameter values remain xed.The enhancing tendency of l leads to a decrease in the concentration outline.Velocity slip conditions can lead to enhanced mass transfer near the solid surface.The relative motion between the uid and the surface can create a stirring or mixing effect as the uid ows over the plate.This increased mixing can enhance the transport of the solute to and from the surface.Similar to the velocity boundary layer in uid ow, a concentration boundary layer is near the solid surface.This layer represents the region in which the concentration of the solute changes rapidly from the surface value to the bulk value of the uid.With velocity slip conditions, the boundary layer thickness can be affected.The thinner the boundary layer, the more rapid the changes in concentration.In addition to the enhanced mixing, the relative motion between the uid and the surface can increase the effective diffusion of the solute in the boundary layer.This is because the solute molecules experience more frequent collisions and interactions with the uid due to the slip conditions, which can promote mass transport.The balance between convection and diffusion becomes more pronounced with slip conditions.Convection refers to the transport of solute by the bulk uid ow, while diffusion is the process by which solute molecules move randomly due to their thermal motion.The presence of slip can alter this balance, potentially favoring convection over diffusion.Fig. 7 represents the concentration prole under the inuence of Sc.It is spotted that the concentration outline is reducing to increase the value of Sc.When the Shmith number is greater than 1, it means that thermal conduction (heat transfer) is more efficient than molecular diffusion (mass transfer).In this scenario, heat is transported more rapidly than mass, leading to a situation where the temperature eld changes more rapidly than the concentration eld.With Sc > 1, the concentration prole tends to be more diffuse compared to the temperature prole.This means that the concentration of a solute or component in the uid diffuses more slowly than the temperature changes.As a result, one may observe a broader and more gradual transition in concentration.
The suction parameter (by considering f w = 0, 0.5, 1.0, 1.5) inuence on the concentration eld is presented in Fig. 8. f w leads to an increase in the concentration eld and fall-off in the solute eld.Suction refers to removing uid at the solid boundary, and it can have several effects on the concentration distribution, such as enhanced mass removal: as the suction effect increases, more uid or solute is removed from the vicinity of the solid boundary.This means that the concentration of the solute near the boundary reduces more rapidly.The enhanced mass removal leads to a steeper concentration gradient near the solid surface.Thinner boundary layer: the suction effect can thin the boundary layer, which is the region near the solid boundary where concentration gradients are signicant.As more uid is removed, the boundary layer becomes thinner, and the concentration within this region decreases more rapidly.Increased mass transport: with increasing suction, mass transport (i.e., the transfer of the solute) from the bulk uid to the boundary occurs at a higher rate.This results in more efficient solute removal from the solid surface's vicinity.Reduced concentration levels and higher suction levels can lead to reduced maximum concentration levels near the boundary.This is because the suction effect continuously removes solute from the uid adjacent to the solid surface, preventing the accumulation of high concentrations.Concentration boundary conditions: depending on the specic problem and boundary conditions, the increased suction effect may alter the concentration boundary conditions at the solid surface.For example, in cases where the boundary conditions are specied as a constant concentration or as a function of time, the suction effect can inuence the rate at which these conditions are approached.

transfer within a uid-solid boundary layer.The suction parameter characterizes the strength of suction applied at the interface between the solid and the uid.Suction, when applied, draws the uid closer to the solid surface, consequently modifying the velocity outline near the boundary.Suction diminishes the uid velocity near the solid surface, which, in turn, impacts the rates of mass and energy transfer.As the suction parameter increases, the near-surface velocity decreases even further.Suction boosts mass transfer by intensifying the concentration gradient near the solid surface.Consequently, this elevation in the concentration gradient results in a higher Sherwood number, indicating more efficient mass transfer.Suction also exerts an inuence on heat transfer.The modied velocity prole and concentration gradient inuence the thermal boundary layer, leading to alterations in the temperature distribution near the solid surface.This, in turn, affects the Sherwood number via the Schmidt number (Sc).Thermal slip conditions arise when a temperature difference exists between the uid and the solid surface at the boundary.Thermal slip can modify the temperature gradient in the vicinity of the solid surface.As the thermal slip parameter increases, the temperature difference between the uid and the solid surface becomes more pronounced.The Schmidt number (Sc) establishes a relationship between momentum diffusivity (kinematic viscosity) and mass diffusivity (the diffusivity of the solute in the uid), playing a pivotal role in mass transfer.Temperature changes, induced by thermal slip, can have implications for Sc.The interplay between heat and mass transfer is regulated by Sc.Variations in Sc, driven by thermal slip, inuence the concentration prole and, consequently, the Sherwood number.Sc is a dimensionless parameter that characterizes the relative signicance of momentum transfer (viscous effects) and mass transfer (diffusion effects) within a uid.Higher Sc values imply slower mass transfer compared to momentum transfer, and they typically lead to reduced Sherwood numbers since they indicate less effective mass transfer.

Strengths of this study
Incorporating Maxwell uids into the study allows for more realistic modeling of complex uids that exhibit both viscous and elastic behavior.These uids are encountered in various practical applications, including polymer processing, biological ows, and certain types of lubricants.This research can provide valuable insights into the interplay between viscoelasticity (represented by the Maxwell uid model) and slip effects on the uid ow and heat transfer characteristics.Understanding how these factors interact can lead to improved designs and control strategies in applications involving such uids.The study of Maxwell uid ow with slip conditions and suction is inherently interdisciplinary, applying principles from uid mechanics, rheology, heat transfer, and materials science.It can bridge gaps between these elds and promote collaboration.This research has applications in microuidics and nanouidics,   where slip conditions become more prominent due to the small length scales involved.Understanding the behavior of complex uids in these contexts is crucial for the design of microuidic devices.Combining Maxwell uids with slip and suction conditions can lead to the discovery of novel phenomena or unexpected behavior in uid dynamics and heat transfer, which may have practical implications or stimulate further research.

Limitations of the current study
The combined study of Maxwell uid ow with velocity slip, thermal slip, and suction effects is theoretically and computationally complex.The mathematical equations governing such systems can be challenging to solve analytically, and numerical simulations may require signicant computational resources.
Analytical solutions for such complex systems may oen need to be more readily available, and researchers may rely heavily on numerical methods.This can make obtaining closed-form expressions for key ow and energy transfer parameters difficult.The behavior of Maxwell uids and the effects of slip and suction can be highly sensitive to parameters such as relaxation time, slip lengths, and suction rate.Determining the most inuential parameters and their values can be non-trivial.
Conducting experiments to validate theoretical and numerical ndings in such complex systems can be challenging and expensive, especially at the microscale or nanoscale.Results obtained for specic combinations of parameters and boundary conditions may not generalize easily to other systems, making it necessary to carefully dene relevant parameter regimes.

Conclusions
This study examines the numerical representation of uid ow following the Maxwell model in a double-diffusive boundary layer on a horizontal plate.The investigation incorporates slip conditions, encompassing momentum slip, thermal slip, and suction parameters.Moreover, the study incorporates the effects of radiation, energy generation, and mass transfer.The governing PDEs (pertaining to momentum, continuity, energy transport, and mass transport) are transformed into ODEs by utilising appropriate similarity transformations.To solve this system of equations in conjunction with suitable boundary conditions, we employ the built-in "bvp4c" soware in MAT-LAB.A comprehensive agreement between the numerical technique and previously published ndings demonstrates its efficacy.The outcomes are presented through graphical representations and tables, showcasing various parameters such as momentum slip, temperature slip, local Nusselt number, Sherwood number, and suction parameter.This investigation allows us to draw the following conclusions: A streamline prole is provided for three different scenarios: one with a no-slip effect, another with a slip effect, and the third depicting a zero-velocity prole.
The temperature prole diminishes as the thermal slip and suction effects increase.
The concentration prole decreases as the velocity slip, Schmidt number, and suction effect increase.
The Sherwood number prole increases with growing values of the suction effect in contrast to the Schmidt number and thermal slip conditions.
