Nanofluid flow on a shrinking cylinder with al2o3 nanoparticles

Abstract

This study investigates the nanofluid flow towards a shrinking cylinder consisting of Al2O3 nanoparticles. Here, the flow is subjected to prescribed surface heat flux. The similarity variables are employed to gain the similarity equations. These equations are solved via the bvp4c solver. From the findings, a unique solution is found for the shrinking strength λ≥-1. Meanwhile, the 1/2 dual solutions are observed when λc
