Abstract

In this study, the consequences of natural convection and radiation on longitudinal porous fin are scrutinized numerically. Here, the fin is moving and is wetted with nanoliquid containing single-walled carbon nanotubes and multiwalled carbon nanotubes. Darcy's model is employed in modeling the present physical phenomenon. The derived steady-state energy equation has been solved numerically via the Runge-Kutta-Fehlberg fourth-fifth-order method. The impact of significant parameters on the thermal performance of the wet fin has been illustrated through graphs for both types of carbon nanotubes. The comprehensive study of carbon nanotubes explores that better heat transfer from a wet fin can be achieved in the case of multiwalled carbon nanotubes.
