Numerical investigation for two phase modeling of nanofluid in a rotating system with permeable sheet

Nanofluid flow and heat transfer in a rotating system is studied numerically using fourth-order Runge-Kutta method. The important effects of Brownian motion and thermophoresis have been included in the model of nanofluid. The numerical investigation is carried out for different governing parameters namely: Reynolds number, Rotation parameter, injection parameter, Schmidt number, Thermophoretic parameter and Brownian parameter. The results indicate that skin friction parameter increases with augment of Reynolds number and Rotation parameter but it decreases with increase of injection parameter. Also it can be found that Nusselt number has a direct relationship with Reynolds number and injection parameter while it has a reverse relationship with Rotation parameter, Schmidt number, Thermophoretic parameter and Brownian parameter.
