Abstract

AbstractAn analysis of a steady axisymmetric heat transfer nanofluid flow due to a rotating disk having variable thickness in the presence of nonlinear radiation and nonuniform heat source/sink is presented. Water with Copper (Cu) and Silver (Ag) nanoparticles are utilized in the investigation. The governing equations along with boundary conditions are solved using the homotopy analysis method. A parametric study of the physical parameters is done and results are displayed in the form of graphs. The findings indicate that nonlinear radiation has a significant effect on temperature as well as on wall heat transfer when compared with linear case, which is more useful in few engineering processes.
