Consequence of exponential heat generation on non-Darcy- Forchheimer flow of water based carbon nanotubes driven by a curved stretching sheet

The present article comprises the study on the influence of exponential space based heat generation on the non-Darcy-Forchheimer flow of carbon nanotubes(CNTs).The flow is considered over a curved stretching sheet.Similarity variables are used to reduce the flow descriptive nonlinear partial derivative equations to simple equations.Simplified equations are then solved by the exploiting Runge-Kutta-Fehlberg fourth-and fifth-order methods.Obtained numerical solutions are shown in graphs and tables.Comparison between single and multi-walled CNTs has been established through the tabulated values and plotted graphs.It is concluded that the heat source parameter plays a prime role in enhancement of temperature,and the curvature parameter has adverse impact on velocity and temperature panels.Both the inertial parameter and inverse-Darcy number affect the fluid velocity.

Jeffrey fluid flow due to curved stretching surface with Cattaneo-Christov heat flux

The two-dimensional(2D) motion of the Jeffrey fluid by the curved stretching sheet coiled in a circle is investigated. The non-Fourier heat flux model is used for the heat transfer analysis. Feasible similarity variables are used to transform the highly nonlinear ordinary equations to partial differential equations(PDEs). The homotopy technique is used for the convergence of the velocity and temperature equations. The effects of the involved parameters on the physical properties of the fluid are described graphically.The results show that the curvature parameter is an increasing function of velocity and temperature, and the temperature is a decreasing function of the thermal relaxation time.Besides, the Deborah number has a reverse effect on the pressure and surface drag force.
