The term of heat absorption/generation is incorporated in the mathematical modeling of present flow problem. The governing mathematical expressions are solved for velocity and temperature profiles using RKF 45 method along with shooting technique. The importance of arising nonlinear quantities namely velocity, temperature, skin-friction and temperature gradient are elaborated via plots. It is explored that the Casson parameter retarded the liquid velocity while it enhances the fluid temperature. Fhrther, we noted that temperature and thickness of temperature boundary layer are weaker in case of Cattaneo-Christov heat diffusion model when matched with the profiles obtained for Fourier＇s theory of heat flux.展开更多

The partial granular temperature ratios are studied as functions of the fractal dimension D, the restitution coefflcient e, the rescaled viscosity time, the average occupied area fraction φ, the total particle number N and the number fraction. Different species of particles in a power-law system typically do not have the same mean kinetic energy, namely the granular temperature. It is found that the extent of nonequipartition of kinetic energy is determined by the fractal dimension D, the restitution coemcient e and the rescaled viscosity time, while is insensitive to the total particle number N, the area fraction φ and the number fraction.展开更多
