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.

PurposeThis study presents a mathematical approach and model that can be useful to investigate the thermal performance of fluids with microstructures via hybrid nanoparticles in conventional fluid. It has been found from the extensive literature survey that no study has been conducted to investigate buoyancy effects on the flow of Maxwell fluid comprised of hybrid microstructures and heat generation aspects through the non-Fourier heat flux model.Design/methodology/approachNon-Fourier heat flux model and non-Newtonian stress–strain rheology with momentum and thermal relaxation phenomena are used to model the transport of heat and momentum in viscoelastic fluid over convectively heated surface. The role of suspension of mono and hybrid nanostructures on an increase in the thermal efficiency of fluid is being used as a medium for transportation of heat energy. The governing mathematical problems with thermo-physical correlations are solved via shooting method.FindingsIt is noted from the simulations that rate of heat transfer is much faster in hybrid nanofluid as compare to simple nanofluid with the increasing heat-generation coefficient. Additionally, an increment in the thermal relaxation time leads to decrement in the reduced skin friction coefficient; however, strong behavior of Nusselt number is shown when thermal relaxation time becomes larger for hybrid nanofluid as well as simple nanofluid.Originality/valueAccording to the literature survey, no investigation has been made on buoyancy effects of Maxwell fluid flow with hybrid microstructures and heat generation aspects through non-Fourier heat flux model. The authors confirm that this work is original, and it has neither been published elsewhere nor is it currently under consideration for publication elsewhere.

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.

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 present investigation has put a focus on the hydromagnetic boundary layer unsteady flow of a nanofluid over a stretching sheet. A new heat flux model named Cattaneo-Christov is applied as the substitution of classical Fourier’s law. Buongiorno’s model is incorporated. The coupled non-linear transformed equations are solved numerically by using shooting technique with MATLAB bvp4c package. The obtained results are presented and discussed through graphs and tables in detail. Our results reveal that the unsteady parameter reduces all the three boundary layer thickness. The thermal relaxation parameter exhibits a non-conducting nature that makes the decline in fluid temperature.

The target of the current study is to inspect theoretically 2D boundary layer flow of an Eyring–Powell ferromagnetic liquid over a flat plate. An external magnetic field due to two magnetic dipoles is applied. Modified Fourier law of heat flux model is employed. Constitutive relations for Eyring–Powell fluid are considered in the boundary layer flow analysis. Series results to the nonlinear formulation are derived and scrutinized by homotopic scheme. Characteristics of various parameters like magneto-thermomechanical (ferrohydrodynamic) interaction parameter, Prandtl number, and dimensionless thermal relaxation on temperature profile are displayed via graphs. It is noted that temperature field decays via thermal relaxation factor.

In this study we use a new spectral relaxation method to investigate an axisymmetric law laminar boundary layer flow of a viscous incompressible non-Newtonian Eyring-Powell fluid and heat transfer over a heated disk with thermal radiation and Newtonian heating. The transformed boundary layer equations are solved numerically using the spectral relaxation method that has been proposed for the solution of nonlinear boundary layer equations. Numerical solutions are obtained for the local wall temperature, the local skin friction coefficient, as well as the velocity and temperature profiles. We show that the proposed technique is an efficient numerical algorithm with assured convergence that serves as an alternative to common numerical methods for solving nonlinear boundary value problems. We show that the convergence rate of the spectral relaxation method is significantly improved by using method in conjunction with the successive over-relaxation method. It is observed that CPU time is reduced in SOR method compare with SRM method.
