Abstract


Single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) and multi-walled nanotubes (MWNTs) are gaining appeal in mechanical engineering and industrial applications due to their direct influence on enhancing the thermal conductivity of base fluids. With such intriguing properties of carbon nanotubes in mind, our goal in this work is to investigate radiation effects on the flow of carbon nanotube suspended nanofluids in the presence of a magnetic field past a stretched sheet impacted by slip state. CNTs flow and heat transmission are frequently modelled in practice using nonlinear differential equation systems. This system has been precisely solved, and an accurate analytical expression for the fluid velocity in terms of an exponential function has been derived, while the temperature distribution is stated in terms of a confluent hypergeometric function. The impact of the radiation parameter, slip parameter, sloid volume fraction, magnetic parameter, Eckart and Prandtl numbers on the velocity, temperature, and heat transfer rate profiles are demonstrated using a parametric analysis. When compared to the two types of nanoparticles (Cooper and Silver) in earlier published articles, temperature profiles for single-walled nanotubes (SWNTs) and multi-walled nanotubes (MWNTs) are revealed to be particularly sensitive to radiation, solid volume fraction, and slip parameters. Nanomechanical gears, nanosensors, nanocomposite materials, resonators, and thermal materials are only a few of the present problem's technical applications.
