Cattaneo–Christov theory for a time-dependent magnetohydrodynamic Maxwell fluid flow through a stretching cylinder

Abstract

This research work explores the thermal and mass transport phenomena for a time-dependent Maxwell fluid flow in the presence of Cattaneo–Christov concept. The Maxwell fluid flow is analyzed through a stretching cylinder and sheet. Brownian motion, non-uniform heat source/sink, thermophoresis, and variable thermal conductivity are operated in this study. A theoretical analysis of the modeled system of equations is explored with the help of HAM. Impacts of fixed constraints on velocity, thermal, and concentration functions are offered graphically. It is concluded that the velocity profile heightens quickly for Newtonian fluid equated to non-Newtonian fluid (Maxwell) via curvature parameter while the temperature and concentration distributions increase quickly for non-Newtonian fluid as equated to the Newtonian fluid via curvature parameter. The presence of Maxwell and magnetic parameters increases the size of the trapping bolus.
