Heat transfer study of an individual multiwalled carbon nanotube due to metachronal beating of cilia

Abstract In the present article, the consequences of cilia motion are reflected by the MWCNT. The problem is modeled in a symmetric channel with ciliated walls. Exact solutions of the governing flow problem are obtained for pressure gradient, temperature and velocities of the fluid. Streamlines for the velocity profile are plotted to discuss the trapping phenomenon.
