Abstract
The objective of the current work is to characterize the thermal impact of Carbon Nanotubes (CNTs) due to a rotating disk, with applications of thermal radiation, heat source, and slip effects. Single-Walled Carbon Nano -Tubes (SWCNTs) and Multi-Walled Carbon Nano-Tubes (MWCNTs) with a suspension of Ethylene Glycol (EG) have been used to analyze the problem. The base fluid consequences are justified by using the Casson fluid. The flow model is justified by the interaction of velocity and thermal slip effects. Thermal characteristics of SWCNT and MWCNT along EG base materials have been presented. The heat transfer investigation is based on the implementation of the Cattaneo-Christov approach. Numerical computations are performed with the help of the shooting scheme. Comparative thermal analysis is performed for traditional nanofluid (SWCNT/EG) and hybrid nanofluid (SWCNTs-MWCNTs/EG). Physical visualization of results for the enhancement of the heat transfer phenomenon is performed. It has been observed that the heat transfer phenomenon is more pronounced for the hybrid nanofluid (SWCNTs-MWCNTs/EG) as compared to the nanofluid (SWCNT/EG). The thermal profile improves for the Casson fluid parameter.
