Abstract

This article intends to describe the three-dimensional flow of nanofluid consisting of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) subject to rotating frame. Disturbance in flow is generated by an exponentially stretching sheet. Prescribed heat flux condition is considered. Darcy-Forchheimer relation is employed to characterize the flow in porous space. System of dimensionless equations is obtained by utilizing adequate transformations. Optimal homotopy analysis algorithm is employed for solution development. Physical interpretation of emerging variables on flow fields and physical quantities is discussed. Skin friction coefficient enhances for local porosity parameter, nanoparticle volume fraction and Forchheimer number. Augmentation for heat transfer rate is noticed through solid volume fraction of nanoparticles.
