Abstract

The current paper describes a Darcy-Forchheimer flow of Casson hybrid nanofluid through an incessantly expanding curved surface. Darcy-Forchheimer influence expresses the viscous fluid flow in the porous medium. Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) with a cylindrical form and iron-oxide are utilized to make hybrid nanofluids. Using Karman’s scaling, the principal equations are rearranged to nondimensional ordinary differential equations. The “Homotopy analysis method” is used to further build up the analytic arrangement of modeled equations. The impact of flow variables on the velocity and temperature profiles has been tabulated and explained. The flow velocity is raised when both the curvature and volume fraction parameters are elevated. The temperature and velocity profiles exhibit the opposite tendency when the Forchheimer number is increased, since the fluid velocity decreases while the energy profile grows. The addition of CNTs and iron nanocomposites improves the thermophysical characteristics of the base fluid significantly. The obtained consequences show that hybrid nanofluids are more efficient to improve the heat transfer rate. Using CNTs and nanomaterials in the base fluid to control the coolant level in industrial equipment is a wonderful idea.

Highlights

  • The flow over an extending surface has received much importance due to its significant role in several sectors of industry and engineering, such as condensation process, spinning of fiber and continuous casting of fiber, plastic sheet extraction, paper production, and many others

  • Sajid et al [6] addressed boundary layer flow and micropolar fluid, concluding that the curvature effect leads to a reduction in boundary layer size

  • Imtiaz et al [8] demonstrated the fluid flow under the upshots of the magnetic field over an extending curved surface

Summary

Introduction

The flow over an extending surface has received much importance due to its significant role in several sectors of industry and engineering, such as condensation process, spinning of fiber and continuous casting of fiber, plastic sheet extraction, paper production, and many others. Gul et al [26] and Bilal et al [27] used an inclined extending cylinder to examine the DarcyForchhemier hybrid nanoliquid flow They examined the carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and iron oxide Fe3O4 as two distinct nanomaterials. (iii) The non-Newtonian Casson hybrid nanofluid has been used as another extension in the existing literature (iv) Heat obsorption\omisson has been considered in the flow regime (v) This study intends to evaluate and simulate the Darcy-Forchheimer water-based hybrid nanoliquid flow induced by a curved surface that extends (vi) The second priority is to modify the Saba et al [48] and Xue [49] model for hybrid nanofluid flow (vii) The proposed model has been solved by the homotopy analysis method
