Darcy Forchheimer nanofluid thin film flow of SWCNTs and heat transfer analysis over an unsteady stretching sheet

This article analyzes the Darcy Forchheimer 2D thin film fluid of nanoliquid. Flow of nanoliquid is made due to a flat unsteady stretchable sheet. In nanoliquids, nanomaterial is in form of CNTs (carbon nanotubes). Also, in present analysis, single walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) are accounted as nanoparticles. The classical liquid ‘water’ is treated as based liquid. The flow in permeable region is characterized by Darcy–Forchheimer relation. Heat transport phenomena are studied from convective point of view. The transformation of partial differential set of equations into strong ordinary differential frame is formed through appropriate variables. Homotopy Analysis Method (HAM) scheme is executed for solving the simplified set of equations. In addition, a numerical analysis (ND-Solve) is utilized for the convergence of the applied technique. The influence of some flow model quantities like Pr (Prandtl number), λ (unsteadiness factor), k (porous medium factor), F (Darcy-porous medium factor) on liquid velocity and thermal field are scrutinized and studied through sketches. Certain physical factors like f″(0) (friction factor coefficient) and −θ′(0) (rate of heat transport) are first derived and then presented through tables.
