On Cattaneo-Christov heat flux in the flow of variable thermal conductivity Eyring-Powell fluid

Here Cattaneo-Christov heat flux model is employed for heat transfer in the stagnation point flow due to stretching cylinder. This consideration modifies the Fourier's law of heat conduction through thermal relaxation time. Temperature-dependent thermal conductivity is adopted. Constitutive equations for Eyring-Powell liquid are considered in the boundary layer flow analysis. Convergent solutions to the nonlinear formulation are derived and analyzed using homotopic procedure. Skin friction coefficient is tabulated and examined for various embedded parameters.
