TLDR
In this paper, the effects of the squeeze number, the nanofluid volume fraction and Eckert number and δ on Nusselt number were investigated, and the results showed that Nussellt number has a direct relationship with nanoparticle volume fraction, δ, the squeeze and EKN when two plates are separated but it has reverse relationship with the squeeze when two plate are squeezed.

On heat and mass transfer analysis for the flow of a nanofluid between rotating parallel plates

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors have considered the three dimensional heat and mass transfer with magnetic effects for the flow of a nanofluid between two parallel plates in a rotating system and applied Homotopy Analysis Method (HAM) to see the validity of analytical solution, a numerical solution using RK-4 method coupled with shooting method has also been sought Both the solutions are found to be in excellent agreement to capture the effects of involved physical parameters graphical representation of the flow are included with comprehensive discussions.
