Abstract

AbstractHybrid nanofluid boundary layer flow past a stretching surface with zero mass flux boundary condition is explored in this article. The main aim of this article is to analyze the electromagnetohydrodynamic role in a hybrid nanofluid containing silver and molybdenum disulfide nanoparticles. The self‐similar solution is embedded to reduce the governing partial differential equation into algebraic equations and a shooting algorithm is applied to obtain the solution of the resultant boundary value problem. Variation in momentum, energy, and nanoparticle concentration is explained through graphical profiles. Nusselt number and drag force coefficients are computed for various flow parameters and their impact on the nanofluid and hybrid nanofluid is computed and presented and explained in a comparative fashion. It is observed that the velocity profile shows the opposite nature with respect to the electric field and magnetic field. For electric field parameter velocity accelerates whereas for magnetic parameter velocity diminishes. Nusselt number increases with electric field parameter and nanoparticle volume fraction.
