Double Diffusive Oblique Stagnation Point Maxwell Nanofluid Flow Along a Convective Stretching Cylinder with Variable Characteristics

Abstract

The flow of a Maxwell nanoliquid across a convective stretching cylinder at a non-orthogonal stagnation point is investigated in the presence of variable fluid characteristics. Instead of considering constant thermal conductivity, viscosity, and diffusivity, their variable forms are engaged to portray a more realistic phenomenon. The Cattaneo-Christov heat flux theory with convective mass and heat conditions is used to evaluate the heat transfer analysis. The influence of thermophoresis and Brownian motion on the stability of nanoparticles is further examined using Buongiorno’s model. To derive the system of differential equations from the set of partial differential equations involving the boundary layer notion, similarity transformations are engaged. The MATLAB software bvp4c package is employed to acquire the numerical solution to the visualized model. The visual portrayal of the parameters that affect dimensionless temperature, velocity, and concentration is added. The Skin friction is shown in table format for a range of parameters. The validation for the truthfulness of the model will also be added.
