Abstract

Here the boundary-layer flow of Burgers nanofluid has been analyzed in the presence of Cattaneo–Christov double diffusion through heat and mass transfer. A linearly stretching sheet has been used to create the flow. The thermal and concentration diffusions are characterized by introducing Cattaneo–Christov fluxes. Novel features regarding Brownian motion and thermophoresis are retained. The conversion of the nonlinear partial differential system to nonlinear ordinary differential system is done by using suitable transformations. The resulting nonlinear systems have been solved via the convergent approach. Graphs have been sketched in order to investigate that how the temperature and concentration profiles are affected by distinct physical flow parameters. Local Nusselt and Sherwood numbers have been numerically computed and discussed. Our observations show that the temperature and concentration fields are decreasing functions of the thermal and concentration relaxation parameters.
