Abstract
In this article, we reports the boundary layer steady two dimensional flow of upper converted Nanofluid over a stretching porous sheet in the presence of viscous dissipation and non-uniform heat generation/absorption. The magnetic field of strength B0 is applied inclined to the flow with the angle ξ along the y-direction. We consider two types of nano particles namely carbon nanotubes (Single and Multi wall Carbon nanotubes) for enhancing the thermal conductivity of water. The set of partial differential equations of the considered flow are converted into a set of coupled non-linear ordinary differential equations by using similarity transformations with the appropriate corresponding conditions. The obtained equations are solved numerically by employing shooting method along with Runge-Kutta fourth order technique. The effects of the governing parameters on velocity, temperature, surface skin friction and nuselt number are discussed through figures and Tables. The usage of carbon nanotubes in water as a base fluid is effective in improving the thermal conductivity of the fluid. Also it is observed that multi wall carbon nano tubes dominate the single wall carbon nanotubes. The Comparisons of present results have been made with the published work and the results are found to be very good agreement. © 2019 by American Scientific Publishers All rights reserved.
