Influence of magnetic field on CNT-Polyethylene nanofluid flow over a permeable cylinder

In this paper, Lorentz force impact on CNT-Polyethylene nanofluid flow characteristics over a stretching permeable cylinder is studied using Runge-Kutta method. Similarity transformation has been applied to reach ODEs. Investigation has been completed by studying the impacts of nanoparticle volume fraction, injection parameter, Reynolds and magnetic numbers on nanofluid flow style. Results show that nanofluid velocity augments with rise of CNT volume fraction anctinjection parameter but it reduces with rise of magnetic number. (C) 2016 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
