Heat and mass transfer analysis of Casson-based hybrid nanofluid flow in the presence of an aligned magnetic field: An application toward mechanical engineering

Abstract

This examination explores the flow of a hybridized nanofluid (HyNf) containing silica and tin oxide nanoparticles mixed with engine oil (EO/SnO2-SiO2). The flowing occurs via a permeable material constrained by a semi-infinite flat plate. The study takes into account various factors such as convective heat and mass transference, chemical reactions, the Dufour effect, the Lorentz force, thermal radiative fluxing, and radiative absorbing. The research involves converting the managing formulas of the flowing model into a dimensionless form and applying the regular perturbation procedure to find solutions for the rate of fluid flow, temperature, and species diffusion. The surface frictional factor, Nusselt quantity, and Sherwood quantity reflect the shearing stress, rates of heat transference, and rates of mass transport at the plate, respectively. An analysis is conducted on the impact of several factors, including the suction variable, magnetic variable, radiation-absorbing factor, Casson parameter, and Dufour number, on the flow and related quantities. This analysis is based on an examination of graphs and tables. The findings suggest that the heat transference rate in the Casson hybridized nanofluid is better than that in the mono nanofluid. It is exposed that the temperature reduces at the plate having improved frequency of oscillation and also fluid velocity declines for improving values of aligned magnetized field [Formula: see text], but it shows the reverse phenomenon with Gr1 and Gc1.
