The present study analyzes the heat energy transfer in nano fluids flow through the porous stretching surface. Cattanneo-Christov heat flux model is employed to study the heat energy transfer. Darcy law is used to discuss the flow characteristics over the different types of permeable sheets with suction and injection. Nanofluids is considered as water based single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) and multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWNTs) nanofluids. A comparative study for SWCNT and MWCNT is also made. Governing equations are transformed into set of ordinary differential equations using similarity transformations. The computational results are obtained by using Runge-Kutta fourth order method along with shooting technique. Numerical and graphical results are presented to discuss the effects of various physical parameters on velocity profile, temperature profile, Nusselt number, Sherwood number and skin friction coefficient for different type of nanoparticles for suction and injection cases. Stream lines and isotherms are also plotted for three different cases viz. permeable sheet with suction, impermeable sheet and permeable sheet with injection. A comparative analysis with existing results is tabulated which validate that the numerical results of present study have good correlation with existing results. The outcomes of the results show that skin friction coefficient is more for SWCNT in caparison of MWCNT and the boundary layer thickness is maximum for permeable stretching sheet with suction parameter.
