Abstract
Current research explores the influence of Cu–Al2O3 MHD hybrid nanofluid on heat conveyance and flow in a permeable channel with heat flux and viscous dissipation effects. As in hybrid nanofluid, $$\phi_{1}$$ and $$\phi_{2}$$ are used for volume fraction of Cu–Al2O3. We take $$\phi_{1} = 0.2$$ and $$\phi_{2}$$ of different ranges. A Newtonian fluid has been used as a base fluid. Appropriate mathematical modeling has been carried out, and the governing PDEs have been converted into ODEs by applying appropriate similarity transformations. Computations have been performed analytically by exercising homotopy analysis methodology. The influence of several novel parameters on flow fields has been discussed graphically. In addition, plots for skin friction and local Nusselt number for various values of the involved parameters have been drawn to analyze flow and conveyance of heat at the surface. It has been concluded that the fluid’s velocity increases, while the temperature decreases for increasing volume fraction. Temperature of the fluid has opposite behavior for cases of heat source/sink. It has also been found that viscous dissipation enhances the fluid temperature.
