Hall current effect on unsteady rotational flow of carbon nanotubes with dust particles and nonlinear thermal radiation in Darcy–Forchheimer porous media.

The present discussion is about the unsteady two-dimensional flow of mixed convection and nonlinear thermal radiation in the presence of water-based carbon nanotubes over the vertically convected stretched sheet embedded in a Darcy' Forchheimer porous media. Saffman's proposed model is used for the suspension of fine dust particles in the nanofluid. A strong magnetic field (MHD) is applied normal to the flow which governs the Hall current effects. Khanafer Vafai Lightstone model estimated the effect of thermal conductivity and viscosity of the carbon nanotubes. Boundary layer approximation is utilized to built the nonlinear partial differential equations (PDEs). Similarity transformation is applied to convert these PDEs into the system of ordinary differential equations. Problem is solved numerically by bvp4c, using MATLAB software. It is observed through the analysis that the thermal field of nanofluid and the temperature boundary layer are much more higher than that of the dust phase, and these are further enhanced for the higher radiation parameter.
