ABSTRACT
In the present paper, a theoretical analysis is made to investigate fluid flow and heat energy transformation features of single and multi-walled water functionalized carbon nanotubes (CNTs) with uniform heat inconstancy boundary conditions onward a flat plate. The liquid motion and momentum transfer of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have been analyzed using a homogeneous flow model. Both single-wall CNTs (SWCNTs) and multi-wall CNTs (MWCNTs) used base fluids, namely, water. The thermophysical characteristics of CNTs regarding the solid volume fraction of CNTs are studied by applying empirical correlations. Similarity transformations have been used to the governing partial differential equations turning them into ordinary differential equations. The outcome of similarity transformations which are nonlinear ordinary differential equations subjected to reconstructed boundary conditions, are subsequently solved numerically using bvp4c. The effects of the governing parameters on the dimensionless velocity, temperature, and skin friction are investigated numerically and graphically. An increase in the volume fraction and the velocity ratio parameter increase the flow, the velocity, and the temperature profile. Regardless of any physical parameter, SWCNTs give better heat transfer than MWCNTs.
