A theoretical investigation of a hydromagnetic boundary layer flow of Carreau fluid over a stretching cylinder with surface slippage and temperature jump is presented in this paper. It is assumed that heat transfer characteristics of the flow follows Cattaneo-Christov heat flux model base on conventional Fourier’s law with thermal relaxation time. The spectral relaxation method (SRM) is being utilized to provide the solution of highly nonlinear system of coupled partial differential equations converted into dimensionless governing equations. The behaviour of flow parameters on velocity, temperature distributions are sketched as well as analyzed physically. The result indicates that the temperature distribution decay for higher temperature jump and thermal relaxation parameters respectively.

The study observes the flow and heat transfer in upper-convected Maxwell fluid over a rapidly stretching surface with viscous dissipation. Cattaneo-Christov heat flux model has been used in the preparation of the energy equation. The model is used in guessing the impacts of thermal relaxation time over boundary layer. Similarity method has been used to keep normal the supervising boundary layer equations. Local similarity solutions have been obtained through spectral relaxation method. The fluid temperature has a relation with thermal relaxation time inversely and our calculations have shown the same.. In addition the fluid velocity is a receding activity of the fluid relaxation time. A comparative study of Fourier’s law and the Cattaneo-Christov’s law has been done and inserted in this.

A numerical analysis is performed for investigating the slip flow of a viscous dissipative Casson fluid towards a stretching sheet with Cattaneo-Christov heat flux and variable viscosity. The nonlinear partial differential equations are transformed with appropriate similarity variables into a system of nonlinear ordinary differential equations. Numerical solutions are carried out by using efficient Spectral relaxation method. Notable accuracy of the present results has been obtained with previous results in a limiting sense from the literature. It is found that thermal relaxation time has an inverse relationship with the fluid temperature. Interestingly, the fluid velocity is gradually decreasing with higher values of slip factor.

This paper introduces two novel numerical algorithms for the efficient solution of coupled systems of nonlinear boundary value problems. The methods are benchmarked against existing methods by finding dual solutions of the highly nonlinear system of equations that model the flow of a viscoelastic liquid of Oldroyd-B type in a channel of infinite extent. The methods discussed here are the spectral relaxation method and spectral quasi-linearisation method. To verify the accuracy and efficiency of the proposed methods a comparative evaluation of the performance of the methods against established numerical techniques is given.

AbstractIn this study, the spectral perturbation method and the spectral relaxation method are used to solve the nonlinear differential equations of an unsteady nonlinear MHD flow in the presence of thermal radiation and heat generation. The SPM is mainly based on series expansion, generating series approximation coupled with the Chebyshev spectral method. The numerical results generated using the spectral perturbation method were compared with those found in the literature, and the two results were in good agreement.

AbstractAn unsteady, laminar, mixed convective stagnation point nanofluid flow through a permeable stretching flat surface using internal heat source or sink and partial slip is investigated. The effects of thermophoresis and Brownian motion parameters are revised on the traditional model of nanofluid for which nanofluid particle volume fraction is passively controlled on the boundary. Spectral relaxation method is applied here to solve the non-dimensional conservation equations. The results show the illustration of the impact of skin friction coefficient, different physical parameters, and the heat transfer rate. The nanofluid motion is enhanced with increase in the value of the internal heat sink or source. On the other hand, the rate of heat transfer on the stretching sheet and the skin friction coefficient are reduced by an increase in internal heat generation. This study further shows that the velocity slip increases with decrease in the rate of heat transfer. The outcome results are benchmarked with previously published results.
