When we apply Tiwari-Das model of nanofluids to model the flow of engine oil based nanofluid, should it be done using the term which denotes relaxation time for velocity in momentum equation (owing to theory of Maxwell fluid) or without it. I have seen papers with two different types of modeling (some have used the term which denotes relaxation time for velocity in momentum equation and some have not). What is the correct way to do the formulation?

Can we use the same term which denotes relaxation time for velocity in momentum equation, when we use base fluid as water (in impure form)?
