Induced Navier’s Slip with CNTS on a Stretching/Shrinking Sheet under the Combined Effect of Inclined MHD and Radiation

Abstract

The present article investigates viscous fluid flow’s heat and mass transfers over a stretching/shrinking sheet using the single and multi-wall carbon nanotube models. The analysis considers the effects of thermal radiation, induced slip, mass transpiration, and inclined magnetic force. The effect of the carbon nanotube model on fluid flow has not been considered in previous studies. By exploiting the similarity variable, the governing nonlinear partial differential equations are converted into nonlinear ordinary differential equation. The derived equations are solved analytically, and we obtained an exact solution for the velocity and energy conservation equation. The physical parameters of interest such as induced slip parameter, suction/injection, magnetic field, thermal radiation, and shear stress are analyzed and presented graphically. In particular, we show that the fluid flow in a single wall carbon nanotube transfers more energy than the multivalued nanotubes.

Unveiling the Performance of Cu–Water Nanofluid Flow with Melting Heat Transfer, MHD, and Thermal Radiation over a Stretching/Shrinking Sheet

“…11,12 Stretching and shrinking of sheet flow has been extensively studied due to its relevance in various industrial processes such as paper production, glass manufacturing, metal containers, polymer processing, and quality control among others. 13 Research has been carried out to investigate the characteristics of fluids in the vicinity of a surface that is either being stretched or contracted in depth by numerous researchers, following the pioneering work of Sakiadis 14 in 1961. He conducted the initial research on the equations that govern the boundary layer of continuous solid surface flow, in both their two-dimensional and axisymmetric forms.…”
