| Summary: | This study aims to perform a numerical simulation of the boundary flow with the characteristic Sakiadis flow of the MHD Jeffrey fluid under the Cattaneo-Christov heat flux model over the horizontal plate. The similarity transformation for the local similarity solution was used to reduce the set of governing equations to non-lin-ear ODE. The equations were solved by using ‘dsolve’ command with the numeric option for the boundary value problem in MAPLE. Simulations have been carried out for different values of the relaxation retardation times, the Deborah number, the magnetic field parameter, the heat flux relaxation time, the Prandtl number, and the Schmidt parameter. A comparative study of the numerical results from the previously published paper with the present result for the dimensionless velocity gradient over the horizontal plate shows excellent agreement. It has been found that the growth of the Deborah number leads to the dimensionless velocity gradient enhancement, while the increment of the relaxation retardation times parameter and the magnetic field parameter indicates the opposite trend. The heat transfer rate noticeably decreased with an increment in the Prandtl number and thermal relaxation time at the fluid regime. Also, fluid concentration decreases with larger values of the Schmidt parameter. © 2023, Society of Thermal Engineers of Serbia Published by the Vinča Institute of Nuclear Sciences, Belgrade, Serbia.
