Mixed convection flow of viscoelastic nanofluid past a horizontal circular cylinder with viscous dissipation

The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of viscous dissipation on mixed convection flow of viscoelastic nanofluid past a horizontal circular cylinder. Carboxymethyl cellulose solution (CMC) is chosen as the base fluid and copper as a nanoparticle with the Prandtl number Pr = 6.2. The tra...
