Popis: Jeffrey fluids have found vast applications in industries and engineering along with their rheological properties. This article investigates the heat and fluid flow within the frame of the nonlinear thermal radiation and non-Fourier heat flux model on Jeffrey nanofluid over an inclined permeable stretched cylinder through saturated porous medium. In addition, non-uniform heat generation/absorption, nonlinear thermal radiation, thermal stratification, and homogeneous/heterogeneous reactions are accounted. Porous medium is characterized through nonlinear Darcy-Forchheimer relation. Shooting method is employed in conjunction with Runge-Kutta-Fehlberg method to solve nonlinear ODEs. The effects of flow variables involved in velocity, temperature and concentration profiles are deliberated through graphs. It is evident from obtained results that the temperature field rises with thermal radiation parameter and space dependent heat generation/absorption parameter. Local Nusselt number has same enhancing attitude towards the thermal relaxation time (0.7443≤−Nˆuz(Rez)−12≤0.7857 for0.2≤δe≤0.6) and thermal stratification parameter (0.7239≤−Nˆuz(Rez)−12≤0.7689for0.2≤S1≤0.6). The exactness of the solution and F′(ξ) variation is verified by comparison with already published literature. The computed results are of great interest in cooling of nuclear reactors. Viscoelastic stuff are generally employed in mats, car shields, computer hard drives and other protective paddings. Synthetic materials can work as the lubricant for an osteoarthritic joint.
