Abstract
This communication models the flow of viscous nanofluid between two heated parallel plates with radiation and uniform suction at one boundary. Two types of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) namely the single (SWCNT) and multiple (MWCNT) walls are accounted. Heat generation, radiation, and dissipation in heat expression are utilized. Entropy generation and Bejan number are examined. Formulation and analysis in rotating frame are considered. Convergent solutions for velocity and temperature are constructed and interpreted. Coefficient of skin-friction and Nusselt number are tabulated and analyzed for comparative study of SWCNT and MWCNT. Correlation for skin-friction and Nusselt number are also evaluated. An enhancement in velocity profile is seen through suction variable. A reduction occurs in axial velocity for higher Reynolds number. An opposite trend is hold for thermal field through Eckert and Prandtl numbers. An intensification in temperature is noted for radiation. An amplification in entropy rate is observed through Brinkman number. Higher Reynolds number corresponds to improve Bejan number. An improvement in radiation variable lead to rises heat transfer rate for both carbon nanotubes.
Highlights
The nanomaterial is quite prominent in the engineering, technology, and bioengineering processes
Study of melting heat transportation fluid.[1,42] in SWCNTs À MWCNTs fluid flow by variable thicked stretching sheet is explored by Hayat et al.[4]
Entropy generation is related with thermodynamic irreversibility, which is available in all heat transfer and fluid flow forms
Summary
The nanomaterial is quite prominent in the engineering, technology, and bioengineering processes. Thermophysical properties of nanomaterial and base by Pialago et al.[3] Study of melting heat transportation fluid.[1,42] in SWCNTs À MWCNTs fluid flow by variable thicked stretching sheet is explored by Hayat et al.[4] In another study, Hayat et al.[5] analyzed the features of CNTs in thermally radiative nanofluid flow induced due to movement of cylinder. Entropy generation is related with thermodynamic irreversibility, which is available in all heat transfer and fluid flow forms. Hayat et al.[27] explored radiative flow between two rotating disks with viscous dissipation, Joule heating and irreversibility. There are various scientists and researchers that scrutinize the entropy generation in water based CNTs between two heated plates. From above table we noted that the results have an excellent agreement
