Abstract
The main goal of this article is to examine the influence of shape factors, Wu’s slip, non-uniform heat source/sink on the radiative up and down hydromagnetic flow of SWCNT/MWCNT-water nanofluid past moving thin vertical needle. Entropy optimization analysis is carried out. Brick, Cylinder, Platelet and Blade shapes of nanoparticles are considered. Numerical solutions are attained by well-known shooting technique. The comprehensive discussion regarding the effects of physical parameters on velocity, temperature, skin friction coefficient and local Nusselt number is carried on. Outcomes reveal that fluid velocity behaves in opposite manner in up and down flows of nanofluids in the presence of increasing magnetic field strength and second order slip. Strengthening of solid volume fractions contributes greater surface drag in both up and down flows. Moreover, the shape effects of various kinds of SWCNT/MWCNT nanoparticles are studied and we visualized that the rate of heat transfer is augmented when the platelet shape of SWCNT/MWCNT nanoparticles are chosen.
