Abstract
The present article deals with the two-dimensional flow of third grade fluid induced by a linear stretching sheet. Analysis of thermal relaxation time is made by using Cattaneo-Christov heat flux model. Effects of chemical reaction are also taken into account. Suitable transformations lead to a strongly nonlinear differential system which is solved through homotopic technique. Convergent series solutions are derived. Effects of the emerging parameters on the dimensionless velocity, temperature and concentration are investigated. It is found that increasing values of thermal relaxation time corresponds to low temperature. Skin friction coefficient and Sherwood number are also computed and addressed.
