Abstract
The characteristics of thermal transport in steady 3D flow of viscoelastic nanofluid induced by a bidirectional stretching surface are explored in this study. A new model for heat conduction is established in perspective of Buongiorno's model in combination with Cattaneo-Christov theory. The mathematical formulations in terms of partial differential equations are transformed into ordinary transformations by utilizing suitable dimensionless transformations. The homotopic technique is utilized to inspect the features of velocity components and thermal transport in the flow. The graphical representation of different physical constraints on thermal and solutal profiles is also depicted. It is observed that the transport of thermal energy deteriorates for escalating number of thermal relaxation time parameter. The solutal transport in the flow depreciates by intensifying the effects of stretching strength parameter. Moreover, it is seen that greater thermophoretic force regulates the thermal transport in the flow.
