Particle shape effect on MHD steady flow of water functionalized Al2O3 nanoparticles over wedge

Abstract
The demand for effectual cooling and heating systems in the automotive, aerospace and chemical industries is driving the growth\r\nof heat transfer technology. Keeping in mind the need of efficient\r\ncooling and heating systems, the purpose of the current study is\r\nto interrogate the outcome of Alumina (Al2O3) nanoparticle shapes\r\non the magnetohydrodynamic steady flow of Maxwell liquid, past a\r\nwedge existing with a nonlinear thermal radiation impact. A variable\r\nmagnetic field is applied normal to the wedge surface. Moreover,\r\nCatteneo–Christove heat flux impact is considered in the modeling.\r\nThe similarity transformation technique has been formulated to convert the elementary equations into ordinary differential equations\r\nand are then solved with the help of Runge Kutta Fehlberg fourth\r\nfifth order (RKF-45) numerical method accompanying the shooting\r\ntechnique. The replica of the output proclaims that more heat transfer enhancement is seen for platelet shaped nanoparticles and the\r\nrate of declination in heat transport is faster for the brick case with\r\nrespect to rise in the values of thermal relaxation time parameter. The\r\nrise in values of the radiation parameter improves the heat transport\r\nrate, but a reverse trend is seen for increasing values of the magnetic\r\nparameter
