CATTANEO–CHRISTOV HEAT FLUX MODEL FOR SQUEEZED FLOW OF THIRD GRADE FLUID
Abstract
This paper addresses the squeezed flow of third grade fluid between two parallel disks. Heat transfer in present flow is characterized by Cattaneo–Christov theory. Thermal relaxation time effects on the boundary layer is examined. Suitable transformations are invoked for a system of ordinary differential equations. Convergent series solutions are thus obtained using homotopic approach. Influences of different parameters on the velocity and temperature profile are discussed.
