Computational investigation of magnetized hybrid nanofluids heat transport and flow through elongational surface with thermal radiation and wall slip

Abstract

The improved thermal performance of recently discovered hybridized nanofluids has become essential in large scale thermal processes. In fact, this is highly efficient technique to introduce the thermal efficiency of tranditional heat transferring fluids. The behavior of the nanofluid can be significantly impacted by the unsteady heating and magnetic field effects that may be present in many applications. Therefore, the current study investigat the unsteady magnetized flow of hybrid nanofluid with heat transport characteristics subject to thermal radiation and slip at the surface wall. The shrinking/stretching surface is chosen as a flow source, which is frequently occure in polymer technology, which deals with the deformability of elastic sheets, and in metallurgy, where continued strips are cooled. The novel form of shrinking surface flow is fundamentally a reverse flow and exhibits physical characteristics that differ significantly from the channel flow scenario. The distinctive features of this scruinity is the use of empirical relations to approximate the optimum thermophysical attributes of a Cu−Al2O3/ water hybrid nanofluid in order to model the 2-dimensional flow past a flat shrinking/stretching sheet under the action of radiation, Lorentz forces and realastic boundary condition responses. The governing system of modelled equation are assembled using the Tiwari-Das model in conjunction with a hybrid mass-based nanofluid model. The bvp4c algorithm is employed within the computer MATLAB programme. The hybrid nanofluid flow shows conclusive improvement in the frictional coefficient and heat transport performance. However, the effectiveness the unsteadiness parameter deteriorates the heat transmission. In the contiguity of a suction parameter, multiple outcomes appear to arise for both stretched and shrinking instances. The coefficient of energy transport improves as the magnetic factor is augmented, however the skin coefficient of friction exhibits dual behavior for the second solutions. A time-dependence investigation is undertaken to figure out the reliability of the twin solutions, and it is discovered that merely one of them remains stable and aesthetically credible.
