Abstract EN
The MHD flow and heat transfer from water functionalized CNTs over a static/moving wedge are studied numerically.
Thermal conductivity and viscosity of both single and multiple wall carbon nanotubes (CNTs) within a base fluid (water) of similar volume are investigated to determine the impact of these properties on thermofluid performance.
The governing partial differential equations are converted into nonlinear, ordinary, and coupled differential equations and are solved using an implicit finite difference method with quasi-linearization techniques.
The effects of volume fraction of CNTs and magnetic and wedge parameters are investigated and presented graphically.
The numerical results are compared with the published data and are found to be in good agreement.
It is shown that the magnetic field reduces boundary layer thickness and increases skin friction and Nusselt numbers.
Due to higher density and thermal conductivity, SWCNTs offer higher skin friction and Nusselt numbers.
