Importance of chemical reactions in flow of Walter-B liquid subject to non-Fourier flux modeling

The current attempt focuses on the two-dimensional nonlinear stagnation point flow of Walter-B liquid past an impermeable stretching sheet. Heat transport phenomenon is reported through the consideration of stratification and temperature-dependent conductivity. Another important feature of heat transfer for Cattaneo-Christov flux is discussed. The proper transformations yield the strong nonlinear differential system computed by utilizing modern methodology through homotopy concept. Behavior of distinct dimensionless variables on the non-dimensional velocity, temperature and concentration are addressed graphically. The skin friction coefficient is calculated numerically and interpreted. It is reported that the thermal field is higher when temperature dependent conductivity is enhanced. Moreover the temperature distribution is higher in classical Fourier law when compared with the non-Fourier law.
