 Development of CNTs suspended thin nanoliquid film over a nonlinear stretching sheetS. Maity, R. Krishanan, S.K. Singh, B.S. Dandapat and D. Sen Mathematics and Computers in Simulation (MATCOM), 2022, vol. 201, issue C, 291-304 Abstract: The flow of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) suspended thin nanoliquid film on a nonlinear unsteady stretching sheet is investigated. In CNTs nanoliquid, single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) or multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) are suspended in water or ethylene-glycol. The prescribed sheet velocity and temperature distribution are considered in more generalized forms. The analytical solutions for the velocity and temperature profiles are derived by using the asymptotic expansion method. Finally, the numerical solution of the nonlinear thin film equation is obtained by using the Newton–Kantorovich technique. It is observed that the film thinning rate diminishes with increasing CNTs volume fraction. It is also seen that the film thins more for MWCNTs in comparison with SWCNTs. The effects of different stretching velocities, sheet temperature on film development and film temperature distribution have also been discussed.
