Abstract

The 3D MHD nonlinear radiative hybrid nanofluid flow across an irregular dimension sheet with slip effect is studied numerically. The hybrid nanofluid consists of copper oxide (CuO) and magnesium oxide (MgO) nanoparticles embedded in methanol or methyl alcohol (MA). The governing PDEs’ are altered as ODEs’ using similarities and numerical solutions are attained using shooting scheme. The role of corporal factors on the transport phenomenon is analyzed and reflected by plots and numerical interpretations. Simultaneous solutions presented for CuO-MA nanofluid and CuO-MgO/MA hybrid nanofluid. Results ascertain that the temperature and flow boundary layer thicknesses are not unique for the hybrid nanofluid and nanofluid. The heat transfer enactment of CuO-MA nanofluid is high when equated to CuO-MgO/MA hybrid nanofluid. This concludes that the CuO-MgO combination works as a good insulator.

Highlights

  • The 3D MHD nonlinear radiative hybrid nanofluid flow across an irregular dimension sheet with slip effect is studied numerically

  • Sheikholeslami et al.[13] considered the heat transmission of magnetizable hybrid nanofluid in a circular cavity and theoretically showed that the strength of magnetic fields located in circular heaters and MWCNT-Fe3O4 with base liquid would maximize the heat transfer rate

  • The persistence of this study is to examine the significance of heat transport with utilization of available nanoparticles to find greater hybrid nanofluid to enrich/decline the energy transfer

Summary

Mathematical Formulation

A steady, 3-D electrically conducting magnetohydrodynamic flow of CuO-MgO/MA hybrid nanofluid past an extended surface of non-uniform thickness is considered. We discussed the eccentricities of velocity and temperature with impacts of non-dimensional parameters through graphs. The growth in thermal profile is observed for escalations in R which represents aid of an external source leads to rise in temperature. It illustrates that the thermal profile increases by evolving θw. It showed that the rise in φ increases the temperature profile, but the reverse action has perceived by the impacts of φ1. The rise in φ digresses the www.nature.com/scientificreports λ R θw n φ1 M h1 h2 f′′(0) Both velocity profiles but converse action have seen in existence of φ1. It is noted that the temperature is falling due to hiking on h2
