Melting heat transfer in the stagnation-point flow of Maxwell fluid with double-diffusive convection

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to analyze the melting heat transfer in the stagnation-point flow with double-diffusive convection. Design/methodology/approach – Series solutions for velocity, temperature and concentration are constructed via homotopy analysis method. Findings – The authors observed that the behaviors of N, ?2 and M on the velocity and boundary layer thickness are qualitatively similar. Further, for A<1 the velocity profile and boundary layer thickness increase with the increase of A. However, when A>1 then the velocity profile increases but the boundary layer thickness decreases when A is increased. Originality/value – This analysis has not been discussed in the literature previously.
