Abstract

Nonlinear convective flow and heat transfer characteristics are analyzed between stationary nonporous and porous rotating disks utilizing graphene nanoparticles in a water and ethylene glycol base fluid. Heat transfer characteristics are analyzed via incorporating thermal radiation and heat absorption/generation. The governing fluid equations are computed numerically using Runge–Kutta based shooting technique after employing appropriate transformations. Characteristics of sundry variables are elaborated graphically as well as through the construction of Table for water base and ethylene glycol based graphene nanoparticles. It is observed that improvements in nonlinear convection variable owing to temperature and heat generation variable improve wall friction in radial direction. Improvement in Hartman number decreased wall friction in radial and tangential directions along with Nusselt number in graphene/ethylene glycol and graphene/water nanofluid. Ethylene glycol based graphene nanofluid takes less time for execution as compared to water based nanofluid.
