Mixed Convection Flow and Heat Transfer Using CNTs across a Vertically Stretching/Shrinking Sheet

Abstract

The current paper examined the influence of an inclined MHD on natural convection, which has been studied analytically in recent articles. The governing equations are simplified to a self-similar third-order highly non-linear ODE with a constant coefficient, which can be solved analytically. SWCNTs and MWCNTs, two forms of CNTs-water nanofluids, are solved by mixed convection. The findings could be used in a variety of ways, such as cooling electronic equipment in computers or creating clouds in the environment. CNTs have a wide range of industrial and biomedical, energy production, and space cooling applications because they can improve the thermal properties of base materials. As a result, the CNTS used in the field are being investigated for their potential in heat transfer applications. The fluid was initially at repose until achieving flow over the linear velocity of the stretching/shrinking sheet. The momentum and energy equations have asymptotic continuous solutions. The present problem of the mixed convective boundary layer flow and heat transfer of CNTs over a stretching/shrinking sheet, also thermal radiation is also considered in the heat transfer characteristics. The effect of several relevant parameters on the velocity profile and temperature distribution is calculated, and the result is that graphical representations are used to depict the effects of the emerging constraints on the profiles. Skin friction and Nusselt number also verified with variety of parameters.
