Abstract

Nowadays, the heat thrust liquid electric heater is generally used in profitable applications since it protects upto 2–3 times the energy of ordinary liquid electric heater. The heat pump makes use of a refrigerant for its process. The small-temperature refrigerant engrosses permitted heat from full of atmosphere midair in the evaporator which is crushed by an extremely well-organized electrical compressor to an extraordinary-temperature and high-pressure vapor refrigerant. For entire heat transfer connoisseurs, heat transfer performance in cooling and heating applications has become a top priority. Hence, research towards new heat transfer fluids is extremely intense and challenging. This investigation examines flow and heat transfer analysis in axisymmetric magnetohydrodynamic flow polyethylene glycol (PEG)-based nanofluid, hybrid nanofluid and ternary hybrid nanofluid flow induced by a swirling cylinder. Flow and heat transfer are analyzed and compared for three cases PEG-based copper oxide, magnesium oxide and zirconium oxide ternary nanofluid (PEG[Formula: see text][Formula: see text][Formula: see text]ZrO2[Formula: see text][Formula: see text][Formula: see text]CuO[Formula: see text][Formula: see text][Formula: see text]MgO), PEG-based copper oxide (PEG[Formula: see text][Formula: see text][Formula: see text]CuO) nanoparticles and PEG-based zirconium and magnesium oxide hybrid nanofluid (PEG[Formula: see text][Formula: see text][Formula: see text]ZrO2[Formula: see text][Formula: see text][Formula: see text]MgO). Shooting technique (R–K fourth-order) is employed to work out the flow equations numerically. Simulated results are displayed through graphs. The computational results are validated with the published research work and a modest concurrence is found. The main outcome of this study is found to be as follows: It is interesting to note that [Formula: see text] is lesser in nanofluid case compared with ternary and hybrid nanofluid cases. It is found that [Formula: see text] is more in ternary hybrid nanofluid compared with hybrid and nanofluid cases. Overall, it is observed that heat transfer rate is higher in nanofluid compared with ternary and hybrid nanofluid cases whereas lesser rate of heat transfers in ternary nanofluid case.
