A Dissertation Submitted in Partial Fulfilment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master’s in Mathematical and Computer Sciences and Engineering of the Nelson Mandela African Institution of Science and Technology
Recent advances in cooling, filtering, heat transfer, and other processes have all focused
attention on fluid flow through porous media. During the flow partial slip becomes more
important at wall surfaces in improvement of performance of various devices. In this regard,
the governing equation has been presented for the flow of porous pipe with Navier slip in this
study also non dimensionalisation has been done. Systems of equations The governing system
was expressed to ordinary differential equations, thereafter a mathematical model for the flow
of nanofluids was developed. Results are presented graphically of various parameters having
different values on and discussed. It is found that the velocity and temperature during the flow
is inversely proportional to Navier slip also in order to overcome skin friction there is a need
to increase nanoparticles.
