- Abstract
In this article, mixed convective boundary layer stream of nanofluid flow with carbon nanotube as nanoparticles and transmission of heat over a coiled stretched surface are studied. The influence of magnetic orientation and velocity slip is also encountered in this problem. Two classes of carbon nanotubes, SWCNT and MWCNT, are considered as nanoparticles and water as a pure liquid. The foremost leading partial differential equations (PDEs) are formulated through curvilinear coordinate system subjected to proper boundary conditions. To simplify this nonlinear PDE‐associated model, we have employed a compatible similarity conversion and acquired the nonlinear dimensionless ordinary differential equations (ODEs). To determine the requisite numerical solution of the transformed problem, a shooting procedure embedded with RK‐4 technique has been applied. Various pictorial attempts have been initiated against different parametric inputs to reveal the hydrothermal scenario. Some physical quantities like skin friction and Nusselt numbers are calculated to investigate flow distribution inside the preferred system. A comparison with earlier research depicts parallel outcomes. Results assured that velocity is a cumulative function with positive increment of curvature parameter, but an opposite scenario is shown for temperature for both type of nanofluids. The amount of heat transition has been declined against the improvement of the magnetic parameter.
