Forced convective MHD flow of Reiner-Philippoff fluid induced by hybrid nanofluid past a nonlinear moving sheet with nonlinear heat sink/source

Abstract

The utilization of hybrid nanofluids is important in industry because of their high effective thermal conductivity, resulting in high heat transfer rates. The present work examines the influence of nonlinear heat sink/source on forced convective flow induced by Reiner–Philippoff fluid conveying hybrid nanofluid through a moving sheet. Using similarity variables, the PDEs in the current model are transformed into ODEs. Furthermore, the bvp4c approach is used to deal with the dimensionless model. Graphs depict the effects of various physical factors discovered during the scrutiny of numerical simulation on the temperature, heat transfer rate, friction factor, and velocity field. It’s worth noting that increasing the heat source/sink parameters reduces the temperature. Furthermore, increasing the Bingham number parameter increases the temperature and decreases the velocity. A change in the volume fraction parameter augments the temperature and declines the velocity field. The numerical results’ reliability is determined by comparing the acquired results to the existing literature.
