Abstract

The current research study is focusing on a mathematical model for free convection boundary flow on a horizontal circular cylinder in a viscoelastic nanofluid has been constructed in this paper with boundary conditions constant heat flux. The Tiwari and Das Nanofluid model have been chosen in this analysis to investigate more nanofluid effects. A dimensionless set of partial differential equations is formed by using suitable non-dimensional variables. The transformed boundary layer equations are solved numerically using a finite difference scheme namely the Keller-box method. The effects of a few chosen factors on flow and heat transmission are investigated. Numerical solutions were obtained for the reduced skin friction coefficient, Nusselt number and Sherwood number as well as the velocity and temperature profiles. The features of the flow and heat transfer characteristics for various values of the viscoelastic parameter and nanoparticles volume fraction were analysed and discussed.
