Stratified flow of sutterby fluid with homogeneous-heterogeneous reactions and Cattaneo-Christov heat flux

Abstract

Purpose

The purpose of this paper is to analyze the Sutterby fluid flow by a rotating disk with homogeneous-heterogeneous reactions. Inspection of heat transfer is through Cattaneo–Christov model. Stratification effect is also considered.

Design/methodology/approach

Nonlinear equations are solved by the homotopy technique.

Findings

Sutterby fluid flow by rotating disk is not considered yet. Here the authors intend to analyze it with Cattaneo–Christov heat flux and homogeneous-heterogeneous reactions. Thermal stratification is also taken into consideration.

Originality/value

No such work is yet done in the literature.
