Abstract In this paper, the buoyancy effect on flow and heat transfer characteristics of nanofluid in presence of carbon nanotubes due to a vertical plate is
investigated. The obtained nonlinear PDE’s are converted to the non-linear ordinary differential equations by applying the similarity transformations
corresponding to the boundary conditions. These boundary value problems are solved numerically using fourth order Runge-kutta method together
with the efficient shooting iteration scheme. The nature of the flow and heat transfer are plotted and discussed in detail. It is noticed that buoyancy
effect is very useful in cooling the system and More >
