DJM solution of MHD flow of ternary hybrid nanofluid between nonparallel a porous media channels with velocity slip and radiation effects

Abstract

This investigation on heat transfer and Jeffery Hamel ternary hybrid nanofluid flow across nonparallel a porous media channels while accounting for radiation, velocity slip, and mixture fluid ( H 2 O − C 2 H 6 O 2 ) effects is presented in this work. The nonlinear PDEs such as continuity, momentum and heat equations transformed to a system of nonlinear ODEs using similarity transformations then solved numerically and analytically, the analytical solution has been constructed using by Daftar Dar–Jafari method (DJM), the present results in particular cases are compared to results obtained by the HAM-based Mathematica package and by the Runge–Kutta Fehlberg fourth–fifth order (RKF-45) for validation. The effects of active parameters such as the nanofluid volume fraction, velocity slip parameter, Darcy number (Da), and thermal radiation parameter (Rd), are investigated on the velocity and temperature, skin friction, and Nusselt numbers. It is found that the velocity of ternary hybrid nanofluid upsurges for both convergent and divergent channel with the increment in the Hartman number (Ha). Also, results obtained reveal that the temperature profile experiences an upward shift with an increase in the Ha, and a downward shift with an increment of the Da. Furthermore, new modeling and the reliable analytic treatment via DJM approach for the ternary hybrid nanofluid is a sizable accomplishment of the current analysis.
