Consequence of exponential heat generation on non-Darcy-Forchheimer flow of water-based carbon nanotubes driven by a curved stretching sheet

The present article comprises the study on the influence of exponential space based heat generation on the non-Darcy-Forchheimer flow of carbon nanotubes (CNTs). The flow is considered over a curved stretching sheet. Similarity variables are used to reduce the flow descriptive nonlinear partial derivative equations to simple equations. Simplified equations are then solved by the exploiting Runge-Kutta-Fehlberg fourth- and fifth-order methods. Obtained numerical solutions are shown in graphs and tables. Comparison between single and multi-walled CNTs has been established through the tabulated values and plotted graphs. It is concluded that the heat source parameter plays a prime role in enhancement of temperature, and the curvature parameter has adverse impact on velocity and temperature panels. Both the inertial parameter and inverse-Darcy number affect the fluid velocity.
