This study investigates the mathematical modelling of heat generation/absorption effect on the convective flow of single wall carbon nanotube-copper (SWCNT-Cu)/water hybrid nanofluid towards a stagnation point past a stretching sheet with Newtonian heating. The set of governing equations in the form of non-linear partial differential equations are first transform using the similarity transformation technique then solved numerically by the Runge-Kutta-Fehlberg (RKF45) method in Maple software. The numerical solutions were obtained for the surface temperature, the heat transfer coefficient and the skin friction coefficient as well as the velocity and the temperature profiles. The features of the flow and heat transfer characteristics for various values of the stretching parameter, the conjugate parameter, the nanoparticle volume fraction parameter and the heat source/sink parameter are analyzed and discussed. It is found that effects of hybrid nanoparticles are more significant for lo...

The aim of this paper is to study approximate analytical unsteady flow and heat transfer analysis of CNTs nanofluid over stretching sheet for the improvement of heat assignment ratio. The present work has some important application in industry and engineering because the heat transfer ratio of nanofluid is larger compared to other fluid. With the help of defined similarity transformation, the nonlinear partial differential equations is converted to nonlinear ordinary differential equations. The model of nonlinear ordinary differential equations are then solved by Optimal Homotopy Asymptotic Method. The impact of different parameters are then interpreted using graphs in the form of velocity and temperature profiles. The influence of skin friction coefficient and Nusselt number is presented in the table form.
The present article is dedicated to analyze the flow and heat transfer of carbon nanotube (CNT)-based nanofluids under the effects of velocity slip in a channel with non-parallel walls. Water is taken as a base fluid, and two forms of CNTs are used to perform the analysis, namely the single-and multi-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs and MWCNTs, respectively). Both the cases of narrowing and widening channel are discussed. The equations governing the flow are obtained by using an appropriate similarity transform. Numerical solution is obtained by using a well-known algorithm called Runge-Kutta-Fehlberg method. The influence of involved parameters on dimensionless velocity and temperature profiles is displayed graphically coupled with comprehensive discussions. Also, to verify the numerical results, a comparative analysis is carried out that ensures the authenticity of the results. Variation of skin friction coefficient and the rate of heat transfer at the walls are also performed. Some already existing solutions of the particular cases of the same problem are also verified as the special cases of the solutions obtained here.
Fluid flow and heat transfer of carbon nanotubes along a flat plate with Navier slip boundary
Applied Nanoscience, 2013
Homogeneous flow model is used to study the flow and heat transfer of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) along a flat plate subjected to Navier slip and uniform heat flux boundary conditions. This is the first paper on the flow and heat transfer of CNTs along a flat plate. Two types of CNTs, namely, single-and multi-wall CNTs are used with water, kerosene or engine oil as base fluids. The empirical correlations are used for the thermophysical properties of CNTs in terms of the solid volume fraction of CNTs. For the effective thermal conductivity of CNTs, Xue (Phys B Condens Matter 368:302-307, 2005) model has been used and the results are compared with the existing theoretical models. The governing partial differential equations and boundary conditions are converted into a set of nonlinear ordinary differential equations using suitable similarity transformations. These equations are solved numerically using a very efficient finite difference method with shooting scheme. The effects of the governing parameters on the dimensionless velocity, temperature, skin friction, and Nusselt numbers are investigated and presented in graphical and tabular forms. The numerical results of skin friction and Nusselt numbers are compared with the available data for special cases and are found in good agreement.

A mathematical model comprising Darcy Forchheimer effects on the 3D nanofluid flow with engine oil as a base fluid containing suspended carbon nanotubes (CNTs) is envisioned. The CNTs are of both types i.e., multi-wall carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) and single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs). The flow is initiated by an exponentially stretched surface. The impacts of Cattaneo–Christov heat flux along with velocity and thermal slip conditions are key factors in the novelty of the defined model. The boundary layer notion is designed to convert the compact form of equations into the component shape. Appropriate transformations lead to differential equations with high nonlinearity. The final non-dimensional system is solved numerically by a “MATLAB” function known as bvp4c. For both CNTs, different graphical sketches are drawn to present the influence of arising parameters versus related profiles. The outcomes show that higher slip parameter boosts the axial velocity, whereas fluid temperat...

In this research work, a 3D rotating flow of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) over a porous stretchable sheet for heat and mass transfer is investigated. Kerosene oil is considered as a base liquid and two types of CNTs, (Single & Multi) WCNTs are added as the additives to the base liquid. The present analysis further comprises the combined effect of the Hall, ion-slip, and thermal radiation, along with heat generation/absorption. The appropriate ordinary differential system of equations after applying appropriate transformation is calculated. The resulting nonlinear system of equations (conservation of mass, momentum, temperature) is explained by HAM (Homotopy Analysis Method). Solution of velocities and thermal fields are obtained and discussed graphically. Expression of C f and N u are intended for both type of nanoliquids. The influences of prominent physical factors are plotted for velocities and thermal profiles using Methematica. These graphical results are qualitatively in excellent ...

This article analyzes the Darcy Forchheimer 2D thin film fluid of nanoliquid. Flow of nanoliquid is made due to a flat unsteady stretchable sheet. In nanoliquids, nanomaterial is in form of CNTs (carbon nanotubes). Also, in present analysis, single walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) are accounted as nanoparticles. The classical liquid 'water' is treated as based liquid. The flow in permeable region is characterized by Darcy-Forchheimer relation. Heat transport phenomena are studied from convective point of view. The transformation of partial differential set of equations into strong ordinary differential frame is formed through appropriate variables. Homotopy Analysis Method (HAM) scheme is executed for solving the simplified set of equations. In addition, a numerical analysis (ND-Solve) is utilized for the convergence of the applied technique. The influence of some flow model quantities like P r (Prandtl number), λ (unsteadiness factor), k (porous medium factor), F (Darcy-porous medium factor) on liquid velocity and thermal field are scrutinized and studied through sketches. Certain physical factors like f (0) (friction factor coefficient) and −θ (0) (rate of heat transport) are first derived and then presented through tables.
In the present study, thermal conductivity and viscosity of both single-wall and multiple wall Carbon Nanotubes (CNT) within the base fluids (water, engine oil and ethylene glycol) of similar volume have been investigated when the fluid is flowing over a stretching surface. The magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) and viscous dissipation effects are also incorporated in the present phenomena. Experimental data consists of thermo-physical properties of each base fluid and CNT have been considered. The mathematical model has been constructed and by employing similarity transformation, system of partial differential equations is rehabilitated into the system of non-linear ordinary differential equations. The results of local skin friction and local Nusselt number are plotted for each base fluid by considering both Single Wall Carbon Nanotube (SWCNT) and Multiple-Wall Carbon Nanotubes (MWCNT). The behavior of fluid flow for water based-SWCNT and MWCNT are analyzed through streamlines. Concluding remarks have been developed on behalf of the whole analysis and it is found that engine oil based CNT have higher skin friction and heat transfer rate as compared to water and ethylene glycol-based CNT.

In this paper we investigated the 3-D Magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) rotational nanofluid flow through a stretching surface. Carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs and MWCNTs) were used as nano-sized constituents, and water was used as a base fluid. The Cattaneo–Christov heat flux model was used for heat transport phenomenon. This arrangement had remarkable visual and electronic properties, such as strong elasticity, high updraft stability, and natural durability. The heat interchanging phenomenon was affected by updraft emission. The effects of nanoparticles such as Brownian motion and thermophoresis were also included in the study. By considering the conservation of mass, motion quantity, heat transfer, and nanoparticles concentration the whole phenomenon was modeled. The modeled equations were highly non-linear and were solved using homotopy analysis method (HAM). The effects of different parameters are described in tables and their impact on different state variables are displayed in graphs. Physi...
A B S T R A C T The fluid flow and heat transfer of a nanofluid is numerically examined in a two dimensional microchannel filled by a porous media. Present nanofluid consists of the functionalized multi-walled carbon nanotubes suspended in water which are enough stable through the base fluid. The homogenous mixture is in the thermal equilibrium which means provide a single phase substance. The porous media is considered as a Darcy-Forchheimer model. Moreover the slip velocity and temperature jump boundary conditions are assumed on the microchannel horizontal sides which mean the influences of permeability and porosity values on theses boundary conditions are presented for the first time at present work. To do this, the wide range of thermo physical parameters are examined as like Da ¼ 0.1 to 0.001, Re ¼ 10,100, dimensionless slip coefficient from 0.001 to 0.1 at different mass fraction of nanoparticles. It is observed that less Darcy number leads to more local Nusselt number and also applying the porous medium corresponds to higher slip velocity.
