MHD Slip Flow of CNT-Ethylene Glycol Nanofluid due to a Stretchable Rotating Disk with Cattaneo–Christov Heat Flux Model

الملخص EN

This article deals with carbon nanoliquid flow due to stretchable rotating disk with the effect of Cattaneo–Christov heat flux model.

Both SWCNTs and MWCNTs are considered with ethylene glycol as the base fluid.

The effects of nanoparticle volume friction, normally applied magnetic field, stretching factor, velocity, and thermal slip factors are examined.

The fundamental flow governing equations are transformed into dimensionless system of coupled nonlinear ordinary differential equations, and they are solved numerically using spectral quasi-linearization method (SQLM).

Employing graphs and tables, the results of velocity and temperature fields as well as skin friction coefficient and local heat transfer rate are analyzed and presented via embedded parameters.

The results reveal that higher velocity fields and lower temperature fields are noticed in the MWCNT nanofluids than SWCNT nanofluids.

The higher incidence of magnetic field improves the thermal boundary layer thickness.

A growth in velocity slip factor reduces the momentum boundary layer thickness of the nanoliquid flow.

Generally, radial stretching of the disk is helpful in improving the cooling process of the rotating disk in practical applications.
