Abstract
Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to introduce the concept of improved Fourier–Fick laws subjected to variable fluid characteristics. Flow analysis in the stagnation region of Oldroyd-B fluid is elaborated. Heat generation is present. Design/methodology/approach: Optimal homotopy analysis method is used to obtain convergent solutions. Findings: The outcomes reveal reduction in penetration depths of temperature and concentration due to involvement of thermal and solutal relaxation times of fluxes. Originality/value: As per the authors’ knowledge, such analysis has not yet been reported.
