Cattanneo-Christov Heat Flux Model Study for Water-Based CNT Suspended Nanofluid Past a Stretching Surface

By Noreen Sher Akbar, C. M. Khalique and Zafar Hayat Khan

This chapter discusses the magnetic field effects on the flow of Cattanneo-Christov heat flux model for water-based CNT suspended nanofluid over a stretching sheet. According to the authors, knowledge idea of Cattanneo-Christov heat flux model for water-based CNT suspended nanofluid is not explored so far for stretching sheet. The flow equations are modeled for the first time in the literature transformed into ordinary differential equations using similarity transformations. The numerical solutions are computed using shooting technique and compared with the literature for the special case of pure fluid flow and found to be in good agreement. Graphical results are presented to illustrate the effects of various fluid flow parameters on velocity, heat transfer, Nusselt number, Sherwood number, and skin friction coefficient for different types of nanoparticles.

Numerical Simulation of Nanoparticles with Variable Viscosity over a Stretching Sheet

By Noreen Sher Akbar, Dharmendra Tripathi and Zafar Hayat Khan

The effects of different types of base fluids on carbon nanotube (CNT) nanofluids flow over a circular stretching sheet are numerically analyzed. The nonlinear variation of radial velocity in radial direction is assumed at surface of stretching sheet. The temperature dependent fluid viscosity is taken into consideration. Two different types of flows (assisting flow and opposing flow) are discussed under the buoyant force effects. Single walled CNT and multi walled CNT are considered as nanoparticles for better thermal conductivity of the nanofluids. A set of similarity transformations to convert the partial differential equations into ordinary differential equations is hired. The non-linear ODEs are numerically solved by employing fourth order Runge-Kutta method. Discussions of numerical simulations for flow characteristics have been made appropriately. A comparative study for various type of base fluids like kerosene, engine oil and ethylene glycol is also presented. From the predicted simulation, it is observed that the variation in Nusselt number is maximum for engine oil and minimum for kerosene oil however, the variation in skin friction coefficient is largest for kerosene oil and least for engine oil. Furthermore, numerical results are also validated with achieving a good correlation with existing results.
