Influence of Cattaneo–Christov Heat Flux on MHD Jeffrey, Maxwell, and Oldroyd-B Nanofluids with Homogeneous-Heterogeneous Reaction

Abstract

This research article deals with the determination of magnetohydrodynamic steady flow of three combile nanofluids (Jefferey, Maxwell, and Oldroyd-B) over a stretched surface. The surface is considered to be linear. The Cattaneo–Christov heat flux model was considered necessary to study the relaxation properties of the fluid flow. The influence of homogeneous-heterogeneous reactions (active for auto catalysts and reactants) has been taken in account. The modeled problem is solved analytically. The impressions of the magnetic field, Prandtl number, thermal relaxation time, Schmidt number, homogeneous–heterogeneous reactions strength are considered through graphs. The velocity field diminished with an increasing magnetic field. The temperature field diminished with an increasing Prandtl number and thermal relaxation time. The concentration field upsurged with the increasing Schmidt number which decreased with increasing homogeneous-heterogeneous reactions strength. Furthermore, the impact of these parameters on skin fraction, Nusselt number, and Sherwood number were also accessible through tables. A comparison between analytical and numerical methods has been presented both graphically and numerically.
