Abstract

This article addresses the impact of Cattaneo-Christov heat flux in the stagnation point flow of rate type fluid towards a nonlinear stretching surface with variable thickness. Maxwell fluid of variable thermal conductivity is employed in the modeling and analysis. Influence of homogeneous and heterogeneous reactions is further considered. The relevant problems are formulated by employing continuity, linear momentum and energy equations. The convergent solutions of the resulting problems are constructed. The velocity, temperature and concentration distribution are examined for various pertinent variables. Contribution of thermal relaxation is explicitly pointed out. It is observed that temperature distribution decays for higher values of thermal relaxation parameter.
