Heat transfer enhancement in free convection flow of CNTs Maxwell nanofluids with four different types of molecular liquids

Abstract This article investigates heat transfer enhancement in free convection flow of Maxwell nanofluids with carbon nanotubes (CNTs) over a vertically static plate with constant wall temperature. Two kinds of CNTs i.e. single walls carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) and multiple walls carbon nanotubes (MW...
