Effects of navier slip and skin friction on nanofluid flow in a porous pipe

Abstract

Recent advances in cooling, filtering, heat transfer, and other processes have all focused attention on fluid flow through porous media. During the flow partial slip becomes more important at wall surfaces in improvement of performance of various devices. In this regard, the governing equation has been presented for the flow of porous pipe with Navier slip in this study also non dimensionalisation has been done. Systems of equations The governing system was expressed to ordinary differential equations, thereafter a mathematical model for the flow of nanofluids was developed. Results are presented graphically of various parameters having different values on and discussed. It is found that the velocity and temperature during the flow is inversely proportional to Navier slip also in order to overcome skin friction there is a need to increase nanoparticles.
