Novel aspects of heat generation, free convection and thermophysical properties of nanofluids are given special attention in this research. Revised model for passive control of nanoparticle volume fraction at the plate is used in this study. The formulated differential system is solved analytically using Laplace transform technique. The solutions acquired for momentum, temperature and shear stress are greatly influenced with the variation of the volume fraction and Maxwell parameter. The computational software MathCAD-15 has been used for plotting the graphs.

Introduction Maxwell fluid model being the rate type fluid has gotten much consideration for being the first and one of the least complex fluid models. It is yet utilized generally exceptionally to depict the reaction of some polymeric fluids. Maxwell fluid model is the elementary rate type model used for fluid rheological effects initially introduced by Maxwell [1]. Fetecau and Fetecau [2] found “a new exact solution for Maxwell fluid flow past an infinite plate”. Zierep and Fetecau [3] studied Rayleigh- Stokes problem for Maxwell fluid under various cases. Jordan et al., [4] analyzed Stokes’ first problem for Maxwell fluids and obtained new exact solutions using integral transform method. In another study, Fetecau et al., [5] provided “a note on the second problem of Stokes for Maxwell fluid over an infinite plate oscillating in its plane”. Later, this work was extended by Khan et al., [6] with taking MHD and porosity effects into account. Vieru and Rauf [7] examined slip conditions impact on Stokes flow of Maxwell fluid and acquired the exact solution via Laplace transform technique. They took two * Corresponding author.
