Abstract

This research paper explains the analytical solution unsteady squeezing flow of water based CNTs for both MWCNT and SWCNT in the presence of magnetic field and variable thermal conductivity. The given partial differential equation is converted to nonlinear ordinary differential equation by using the similarity transformation and solve by analytical method namely optimal homotopy asymptotic method (OHAM) to obtain analytical solution of the nonlinear problem which analyze the problem. The result of important parameter for both velocity and temperature profiles are plotted and discussed. The BVPh 2.0 package is used to obtain the convergence of the problem up to 25 iteration. The skin friction coefficient and Nusselt number is explained in table form.
