This article addresses squeezing flow in a rotating frame. Nanoparticles are in form of carbon nanotubes. Single wall (SWCNTs) and multiple wall carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) are accounted. Water is treated as ordinary material. Melting heat phenomenon is studied. Flow under consideration is first modeled and then solved by homotopic technique. In addition to velocity, the skin friction and heat transfer rate are studied. It is noted that skin friction is reduced for squeezing parameter. However heat transfer rate is an increasing function of nanoparticle volume fraction. Further MWCNTs show overriding performance to that of SWCNTs.
