Abstract
The objective of the present research is to study the effects of variable thermal conductivity on the three-dimensional steady flow of Maxwell nanofluid in the presence of heat generation/absorption and double stratification. The theory of Cattaneo-Christov is used instead of the law of Fourier because the law of Fourier has parabolic equations and move at infinite speed in space. By using adequate transformation, the nonlinear partial differential equations (PDEs) are transformed into a set of ordinary equations (ODEs). The set of equations are solved numerically by adopting the bvp4c Matlab technique. The effects of different evolving parameters on axial velocity, temperature, and concentration are described in graphs. It is perceived that thermal and concentration stratification parameters result in the reduction of temperature and concentration distribution. Further, the heat generation parameter enhances the temperature distribution.
