Abstract

Here, we discuss three-dimensional dusty nanofluid thin film flow with nonlinear thermal radiation, where carbon nanotubes flow past an inclined rotating disk with a constant angular velocity of W. This novel mathematical model is unique and is discussed here for the first time. Downward draining flow and lateral flow arise due to inclination. The demonstrated geometry is characterized in terms of time-independent continuity, momentum, and energy balance. Similarity transformations convert the partial differential equation into a system of ordinary differential equations. The obtained equations are analyzed numerically using the bvp4c MATLAB function. The thermal field of the dust phase was smaller than that of the nanofluid phase, and this difference was exacerbated by increasing the thermal radiation. To validate the model presented here, it is compared to a previous model; the models showed high concordance.
