Abstract

The numerical examination of radiation and natural convection in a porous radial fin along with varying internal heat generation with respect to temperature is carried out in the current study. The aim of this study is to scrutinize the heat transfer phenomenon in fin wetted with water-based carbon nanotubes like single-walled carbon nanotubes and multiwalled carbon nanotubes. In the proposed work, the Darcy’s model is employed for the analysis. The modeled equations are nondimensionalized and solved by utilizing Runge–Kutta–Fehlberg method. The impact of relevant parameters on the heat transfer rate is comprehensively explored with an aid of graphs. Here, multiwalled carbon nanotube–water shows better heat transfer from surface of fin compared to single-walled carbon nanotube–water.
