Abstract

This analysis focuses on extending and developing some previous studies of energy transport through nanofluids to include the states of combined convection flow of a Williamson hybrid nanofluid that flows around a cylinder. Mathematical models that simulate the behavior of these upgraded nanofluids are constructed by expanding the Tiwari and Das model, which are then solved numerically via Keller box approaches. The accuracy of the results is emphasized by comparing them with the previous published outcomes. Nanosolid volume fraction 0≤χ≤0.1, combined convection −1≤λ≤5, radiation factor 0.1≤R≤6, Weissenberg number 0.2≤We≤ 0.9, and magnetic factor 0.1≤M≤1 are the factors that have been taken into consideration to examine the energy transfer performance of Williamson hybrid nanofluid. Numerical and graphical outcomes are obtained using MATLAB, analyzed, and discussed in depth. According to the outcomes, the Weissenberg number reduces energy transfer and friction forces. Both the combined convective coefficient and the radiation factor improved the rate of energy transfer and increased the velocity of the host fluid. The fluid velocity and rate of energy transfer can be reduced by increasing the magnetic factor. The nanoparticle combination of silver and aluminum oxide (Ag-Al2O3) has demonstrated superiority in enhancing the energy transfer rate and velocity of the host fluid.
