The present numerical study is aimed at investigating the effect of rotation on heat transfer to non-Newtonian nanofluid flowing through a pipe. Non-Newtonian fluid flow under laminar condition with heat transfer finds the applications in various industries like food processing, pharmaceutical and polymer etc. Various proportions (1–3%) of copper nanoparticles are mixed with water to study the heat transfer rates non-Newtonian nanofluid flowing through the rotating pipe. Effect of rotation rate on heat transfer rates are also studied. In this study for 1% nanofluid at a constant rotation rate of 0.8, the Nusselt number is increased by 119.45%. The highest thermal performance factor (TPF) is 1.74, observed at N = 0.8, Pe = 5000, and for 1% volume concentration of non-Newtonian nanofluid.
