“…They observed significant enhancement of the convective heat transfer and found that the enhancement depends on the Reynolds number and solid volume fraction of CNTs. Kamali and Binesh (2010) numerically investigated the convective heat transfer of multi-wall carbon nanotube (MWCNT)-based nanofluids in a straight tube under constant wall heat flux condition. They solved Navier Stokes equations using the finite volume technique considering CNT-based nanofluids using power law model.…”

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.

Abstract:The aim of this research work is to investigate the innovative concept of magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) three-dimensional rotational flow of nanoparticles (single-walled carbon nanotubes and multi-walled carbon nanotubes). This flow occurs in the presence of non-linear thermal radiation along with heat generation or absorption based on the Casson fluid model over a stretching sheet. Three common types of liquids (water, engine oil, and kerosene oil) are proposed as a base liquid for these carbon nanotubes (CNTs). The formulation of the problem is based upon the basic equation of the Casson fluid model to describe the non-Newtonian behavior. By implementing the suitable non-dimensional conditions, the model system of equations is altered to provide an appropriate non-dimensional nature. The extremely productive Homotopy Asymptotic Method (HAM) is developed to solve the model equations for velocity and temperature distributions, and a graphical presentation is provided. The influences of conspicuous physical variables on the velocity and temperature distributions are described and discussed using graphs. Moreover, skin fraction coefficient and heat transfer rate (Nusselt number) are tabulated for several values of relevant variables. For ease of comprehension, physical representations of embedded parameters such as radiation parameter (Rd), magnetic parameter (M), rotation parameter (K), Prandtl number (Pr), Biot number (λ), and heat generation or absorption parameter (Q h ) are plotted and deliberated graphically.
