Abstract
This study investigated the flow and heat transfer of sodium alginate-based hybrid nanofluids with a stretching/shrinking surface. The heat source/sink, Joule heating, inclined magnetic field, and thermal radiation influences are also examined in the designed model. The mixers of non-magnetic and magnetic nanoparticles are utilized, such as Cu and Fe3O4. The Casson fluid model is applied to determine the viscoplastic characteristics of sodium alginate (SA). The necessary governing SA-based hybrid nanofluid flow equations are solved analytically by hypergeometric function. SA-based hybrid nanofluid velocity, temperature, skin friction, and Nusselt number results are discussed in detail with various pertinent parameters, such as radiation, heat source/sink, inclined angle, magnetic field, Eckert number, and Casson parameters. It is noted that the dimensions of both Cu and Fe3O4 hybrid nanoparticles and Casson parameters are minimized by the momentum surface layer thickness. The magnetic field, radiation, heat source and Casson parameters serve to enhance the thermal boundary layer thickness. Finally, the current result was verified with previously published works.
Highlights
Based Hybrid Nanofluid Flow through a Shrinking/Stretching Sheet with Radiation, Heat Source and Inclined Lorentz Force Effects
This section discusses the analytical results of sodium alginate (SA)-based MHD radiative hybrid nanofluid with heat source/sink, Joule heating and viscoplastic impacts
From these figures, enhancing the value of φCu and φFe3 O4 in both cases, diminishes the velocity profile. This means that the enveloping value of a nanosolid can slow down the SA-based hybrid nanofluid velocity
Summary
The study of heat transfer and fluid flow produced by means of a stretching/shrinking surface and has a lot of industrial benefits, for example thermal insulation, manufacturing of composite materials, manufacturing of glass, underground species transport, drying of porous solids, oil recovery, and thermal solar systems. A non-Newtonian fluid, sodium alginate (SA), has drawn much interest due to its biomedical and industrial uses, such as in pharmaceuticals, textiles, paper production, the food industry, and tissue formation Both analytical and numerical solutions of SAbased nanofluid thermal transfer and flow analysis have been researched by [14]. The authors in [16] studied the effect of an SA-based hybrid nanofluid through a shrinking/stretching sheet with a non-magnetic and magnetic nanoparticle combination. They found that SA-based hybrid nanofluids have a higher rate of thermal distribution than H2 O based hybrid nanofluids.
