Abstract
In this piece of writing, we have demonstrated the rotating flow of carbon nanotube passing over a stretching sheet. Two types of carbon nanotube, i.e. single-wall carbon nanotube (SWCNT) and multi-wall carbon nanotube, (MWCNT) have been employed to illustrate the fine points of the flow. Suitable transformations have been consumed to construct its non-dimensional appearance from the partial ones. Transformed forms of equations have been sketched out by RK-4 procedure. Outcomes of the key flow factors on velocity along with temperature outline have been exemplified through tables and graphs, and scrutinized from the sensible judgement. Our investigation authenticates that the temperature of the fluid enhances owing to the improvisation of rotation parameter. Nusselt number goes down with the authority of magnetic parameter.
