Maxwell hybrid nanoliquid flow over vertical cone with Cattaneo -
Christov heat flux and convective boundary condition
Abstract
This article presents to evaluating the sway of thermal radiation and
chemical reaction on MHD flow of Ag/SWCNT – Water based Maxwell hybrid
nanoliquid over a vertical cone by considering Cattaneo - Christov heat
flux, convective boundary condition and suction parameter. By using
appropriate transformations the nonlinear partial differential equations
are converted into ordinary differential equations. The governing
dimensionless equations are solved by using an optimized and extensively
validated Finite element method. The sway of dissimilar parameter on
hydrodynamic, thermal and solutal boundary layer is perceived and the
results are laid out graphically. Additionally, the values of skin –
friction coefficient, Nusselt number and Sherwood numbers are authorized
for different values of pertinent parameters and results are
demonstrated in tabular form. Comparison of the present problem results
with existing results shows good agreement. The key observations are
summarized as the velocity grows with (ϕ1), Temperature increases for
Biot number (Bi) and Skin – friction coefficient, Sherwood number
declines, nevertheless Nusselt number escalates as values of Deborah
number (α) improves.
