The Influence of Aligned MHD on Engine Oil-Based Casson Nanofluid with Carbon Nanotubes (Single and Multi-Wall) Passing through a Shrinking Sheet with Thermal Radiation and Wall Mass Exchange

Abstract

The optimization of heating or cooling during an industrial system may result in power savings, reduced processing time, enhanced thermal efficiency, and increased equipment operating lifespan. The advancement of high-efficiency thermal systems for heat and mass transport improvement has become increasingly popular in recent years. The analysis of aligned magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) on engine oil-based Casson nanofluid with carbon nanotubes (single and multi-wall) passing a shrinking sheet following the thermal radiation and wall mass transport phenomena is carried out in this aspect. The dynamic model is utilized to reduce difficult ordinary differential equations into nondimensional forms, which are then analytically assessed. To study the repercussions of a physical parameter on the velocity field, skin friction at the wall, the stream pattern, the temperature distribution, isotherm, and the local Nusselt, numeric data and visualizations are generated. When the value of ϕ increases, the velocity field decelerates, and the velocity pattern of multi-walled CNTs drops considerably when compared to single-walled CNTs. The local Nusselt number is a decreasing function of N and ϕ and the opposite trend is shown for Pr. The local Nusselt number is a decreasing function of N and ϕ and the opposite trend is shown for Pr. The single-walled CNTs have a higher degradation rate as compared to multi-walled CNTs. It is found that higher temperature distribution occurs in the case of multi-walled CNT-based fluid as compared to single-walled CNT-based fluid.
