Performance of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) on the development of radiating hybrid nanofluid flow through an stretching cylinder

Abstract

In various industries, one of the important aspects is the cooling processes for which the material exhibits its perfect shape and size. Intending to the aforementioned property the current investigation leads to carry out the features of the materialistic property of thermal radiation and the dissipative heat by incorporating these in the water-based hybrid nanofluid. The fluid past a stretching cylinder embedded with a permeable medium and the impact of the magnetic field, and thermal radiation are depicted in momentum and energy profiles. In addition to that, the role of the Hamilton-Crosser conductivity model for the behavior of various shapes of the carbon nanotube (CNT) nanoparticles with their volume concentration is also vital. The transformation of the dimensional form of the governing equations into the non-dimensional form is obtained with the use of proper transformation rules. Further, the proposed designed model is handled by employing the traditional shooting-based Runge-Kutta fourth-order technique. The significant properties of different components are deployed graphically and the validation with earlier study shows a good correlation. Moreover, the important characteristics of the outcomes are; the surface cooling, driven by increased thermal buoyancy, promotes fluid velocity while simultaneously influencing the curvature parameter and profile to slow down the accumulation of nanoparticles.
