Abstract
This is a numerical analysis of nonlinear convection on micropolar fluid in a suspension of dust and SWCNT-MWCNT/Ethylene glycol (EG) hybrid nanoparticles with partial slip. We consider viscous dissipation and nonlinear thermal radiation to boost the heat transport phenomenon. Scattering of CNTs nanoparticles in dusty fluids are used in gas storage, biosensors, ultra-capacitors, cancer detection and treatment, waste recycling etc. Established partial differential structure (PDEs) is mainly transformed to ordinary differential structure (ODEs) with the help of suitable transformations and solved numerically utilised MATLAB package bvp4c. Plots are displayed to examine how different related parameters influence the velocity and temperature distribution. Through the study it is noticed that the nanofluid temperature distribution are much better than the dust phase and are further improved for the increased solid volume fraction.
