Abstract
The current study deals with the flow and heat transfer near two different geometries i.e. cone and wedge and implements Cattaneo-Christov heat flux model to scrutinize the fluid flow. The flow environment is featured with the effects of thermal radiation, suction, heat generation/injection, magnetic field, volume fraction. The condition of zero mass flux is also incorporated near the surface. The influence of these aforementioned effects are studied via velocity and temperature profiles. The numeric values of engineering interest parameters i.e. skin friction parameter and heat transfer parameter are evaluated. The statistical analysis has also been performed, includes the evaluation of correlation coefficient between the pertinent parameters and the skin friction coefficient and heat transfer coefficient alongside with the evaluation of probable error and statistical declaration. The current work bounds five chapters. The very first chapter delivers the basics and foundational knowledge of fluid mechanics. The second chapter presents the cited literatures which are found to be helpful for the performing the task. The next chapter three focuses on the elaboration of mathematical formulation and numerical methodology is also described. Chapter four illustrates the results and discusses them in comprehensive manner. The summary of the fluid flow problem is presented in chapter five. The work will be applicable in the arena of engineering and applied mathematics.
