Abstract

This particular research was conducted with the aim of describing the impact of a rotating nanoliquid on an elasting surface. This specific study was carried out using a two-phase nanoliquid model. In this study engine oil is used as the base fluid, and two forms of nanoparticles are used, namely, titanium oxide and zinc oxide (TiO2 and ZnO). Using appropriate similarity transformations, the arising system of partial differential equations and the related boundary conditions are presented and then converted into a system of ordinary differential equations. These equations are numerically tackled using powerful techniques. Graphs for nanoparticle rotation parameter and volume fraction for both types of nanoparticles present the results for the velocity and heat transfer features. Quantities of physical significance are measured and evaluated, such as local heat flux intensity and local skin friction coefficients at the linear stretching surface. Numerical values for skin friction and local heat flux amplitude are determined in the presence of slip factor.
