A theoretical analysis of SWCNT–MWCNT and H2O nanofluids considering Darcy–Forchheimer relation

The remarkable features of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) such as physicochemical compatibility, high conductivity, effective electrical conductivity, light weight and stability (chemical, mechanical) form them a superlative substance to be manipulated in electrochemical mechanisms. Having such effectiveness of CNTs in view our intention in this investigation is to elaborate the significance of non-Darcian relation in flow of CNTs based on water by rotating disk. Outcomes for both CNTs (single walled, multi walled) are presented and elaborated. Thermal radiation and Partial slip aspects are further a part of this research. The process of non-dimensionalization is performed utilizing Von Kármán approach. Optimal homotopic scheme is employed for analysis. Velocity, Nusselt numbers, temperature and skin friction have been computed and addressed.
