Abstrakt: A theoretical outline is sketched to figure out the stream of polyvinyl alcohol (PVA)–based CNTs along a moving surface with multiple slip effects on homogeneous and heterogeneous chemical reactions. The nonlinear radiant, heat, and nonuniform heat source/sink is incorporated in the energy equation to discuss the heat transport phenomenon. The novel theory of non‐Fourier flux model of heat diffusion is also merged in the energy equation. Two kinds of nanoparticles are considered, namely, single wall carbon nanotubes and multiple wall carbon nanotubes, and are suspended in the working PVA to illustrate the flow behavior. Due to a large variety of applications, PVA is used in papermaking, textiles, and a variety of coatings. The principal structure of mathematical model is based upon the system of differential equations, which has been tackled through Runge–Kutta–Fehlberg method in MATLAB software. Graphical images are made vs different physical parameters which emerged in the model. The heat transfer of the fluid enhances with the increase of nonuniform thermal radiation. The homogeneous and heterogeneous chemical reactions slow down the concentration rate. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
