Aligned Magnetohydrodynamics Mixed Convection on Various Base Fluids with Carbon Nanotubes over an Inclined Plate

Abstract

Analytical and graphical studies are conducted on the impact of carbon nanotubes in aligned magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) mixed convection flow of nanofluid over an inclined plate. Various types of parameters are considered throughout the numerical study with a constant wall temperature. The similarity transformation was implemented to transform the partial differential governing equations into ordinary differential equations. Furthermore, the Fourth-Order Runge Kutta algorithm is built into Maple Software to solve the transformed equations. The analysis shows how various dimensionless parameters; the angle of magnetic field, the interaction of magnetic, the angle of an inclined plate, the volume fraction of nanoparticles, and mixed convection, affect velocity and temperature profiles, as well as how carbon nanotubes with various base fluids affect skin friction and the Nusselt number. As a result, for both types of carbon nanotube nanofluids, SWCNT/kerosene and MWCNT/kerosene, an increase in angle of magnetic field, interaction of magnetic, and mixed convection parameter risen the velocity profile while an increase in angle of inclined plate and volume fraction of nanoparticles enhanced the temperature profile. However, the Nusselt number and skin friction coefficients increase with increasing angle of magnetic field, interaction of magnetic, and mixed convection parameter and decrease with increasing inclined plate angle and volume fraction of nanoparticle. It was found that MWCNT transferred heat more efficiently than SWCNT
