Magneto-hydrodynamic boundary layer flow and heat transfer of hybrid carbon nanotube over a moving surface

The boundary layer flow and heat transfer of hybrid carbon nanotubes over a moving surface with magneto-hydrodynamic effect are studied numerically in this paper.  Single-wall (SWCNT) and multi-wall (MWCNT) carbon nanotubes are combined with water as the base fluid to form hybrid carbon nanotubes.  The governing partial differential equations were transformed into a set of nonlinear ordinary differential equations using the similarity transformation, which were then numerically solved in the Matlab software using bvp4c.  The influence of the nanoparticle volume fraction

Forced convection of laminar gaseous slip flow near a stagnation point with viscous dissipation and pressure work

Forced convection problem of laminar quasi-incompressible boundary layer for the stagnation slip flow at a relatively low Mach number, considering the simultaneous effects of viscous dissipation and pressure work, has been investigated.  The system of coupled partial differential equations was first transformed into a system of coupled ordinary differential equations through suitable transformations, which was then solved using Runge–Kutta–Fehlberg fourth-fifth order method.  The solution obtained here is much better suited to formulating and solving the variable-property of chemically reac
