| Abstract: |
| Background and Objectives: Present communication explore the consequences of variable thermophysical characteristics of Graphene nanoparticles suspensions in traditional industrial fluids, for instance, water and dilute solutions of ethylene glycol. The fluid transport and heat transfer are examined towards a horizontally placed hallow stretching cylinder. For a comprehensive comparative investigation three distinct solutions to be precise, water, diluted solution of ethylene glycol with ratio 3:7 and 1:1 are considered.
Significance: The cylindrical polar coordinates are chosen to model the physical flow conundrum and simplified by opting suitable transformations. The fluid flow and temperature along with skin friction coefficient and surface heat flux obtained by employing the numerical technique. Graphs and bar charts are plotted to examine the effects of prominent parameters. Moreover, the computed results are validated through comparison with available literature and are in good agreement.
Findings: Some pivotal findings are the minimum and maximum values of thermal conductivity are reported for lamina shaped nanoparticles. The novel results of this investigation may be beneficial and constructive in polymer extrusion and industry. |
