Galerkin finite element analysis for the augmentation in thermal transport of ternary-hybrid nanoparticles by engaging non-Fourier’s law

Abstract

Boosting of thermal transportation is the demand of current era. Several techniques have been used to do so. One of an important way is the mixing of nanoparticles to boost thermal performance. Current investigation has been prepared to study the inclusion of tri hybrid nanoparticles in Prandtl fluid model past over a stretched heated sheet. Modelling of consider problem has been done due to consideration of movement in flow in Cartesian coordinates which results coupled partial differential equation system thermal transport in presented by considering generalized heat flux model and heat generation/absorption. The derived coupled complex partial differential equations (PDEs) system is simplified by engaging boundary layer theory. Such developed model is used in coolants regarding automobiles, dynamics in fuel and production of solar energy, fuel cells, optical chemical sensors, automotive parts, dental products, cancer therapy, electrical insulators and dental products. Handling of complex PDEs for the solution is a challenging task. Due to complexity in computational work these PDEs have been transformed into ordinary differential equations (ODEs) after applying similarity transformation afterwards converted ODEs have been approximated via finite element algorithm coded in MAPLE 18.0 symbolic computational package. Comparative study has been presented for the validity of code and authenticity of obtained result. It is observed that fluid velocity for tri-hybrid nanoparticles is higher than fluidic motion for pure fluid, nanofluid and hybrid nanomaterial.
