Effect of uniform suction on nanofluid flow and heat transfer over a cylinder

The aim of the present paper is to study the nanofluid flow and heat transfer over a stretching porous cylinder. The effective thermal conductivity and viscosity of the nanofluid are calculated by KKL (Koo–Kleinstreuer–Li) correlation. In KKL model, the effect of Brownian motion on the effective thermal conductivity is considered. The governing partial differential equations with the corresponding boundary conditions are reduced to a set of ordinary differential equations with the appropriate boundary conditions using similarity transformation, which is then solved numerically by the fourth-order Runge–Kutta integration scheme featuring a shooting technique. Numerical results for flow and heat transfer characteristics are obtained for various values of the nanoparticle volume fraction, suction parameter, Reynolds number and different kinds of nanofluids. Results show that inclusion of a nanoparticle into the base fluid of this problem is capable to change the flow pattern. It is found that Nusselt number is an increasing function of nanoparticle volume fraction, suction parameter and Reynolds number.
