Abstract
In this article, we present numerical investigation and analysis of thin film flow and heat transfer effects for different shapes of gold nanoparticles on a vertical stretching sheet. There are several uses for thin liquid films, including antireflection coating for lenses. Coating systems must have a smooth, polished surface, low friction, clarity, and strength to satisfy the demands of all of these applications. We consider thin film flow of nanoparticles on a vertical stretching sheet due to their numerous applications. Additionally, we employed water as the base fluid and considered different shapes of gold nanoparticles (blades, cylinders, and platelets). After formulating the problem, we convert nonlinear partial differential equations (PDEs) into ordinary differential equations (ODEs) using a transformation. The resulting nonlinear differential equations have been computed by the BVP4c method. It is examined and graphically assessed how the Nusselt number, temperature, skin friction, and fluid velocity are related. This research suggests that the blade shape has the maximum heat transfer rate and the lowest skin friction coefficient value.
