Abstract

In this research work, a 3D rotating flow of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) over a porous stretchable sheet for heat and mass transfer is investigated. Kerosene oil is considered as a base liquid and two types of CNTs, (Single & Multi) WCNTs are added as the additives to the base liquid. The present analysis further comprises the combined effect of the Hall, ion-slip, and thermal radiation, along with heat generation/absorption. The appropriate ordinary differential system of equations after applying appropriate transformation is calculated. The resulting nonlinear system of equations (conservation of mass, momentum, temperature) is explained by HAM (Homotopy Analysis Method). Solution of velocities and thermal fields are obtained and discussed graphically. Expression of C f and N u are intended for both type of nanoliquids. The influences of prominent physical factors are plotted for velocities and thermal profiles using Methematica. These graphical results are qualitatively in excellent agreement with the previous published results. Also, single wall nanoparticles are found to have higher temperatures than multi wall CNTs nanoparticles.
