Hydrothermal analysis of hybrid nanofluid flow on a vertical plate by considering slip condition

Abstract

Hybrid nanofluids have attracted burgeoning attention owing to their outstanding capacity to improve heat transfer. The influence of velocity and temperature slip parameter and nanoparticls' (NPs') volume fraction on a vertical plate in the existence of suction has been explored in this work. The investigation's controlling partial differentiation equations were transformed into a conventional differential equation mechanism using resemblance modifications. Equations were then solved employing the fifth-order Runge-Kutta method. The skin coefficient of friction, temperature, and temperature gradient all rise when the volume percentage of NPs increases from 0 to 2%. Furthermore, a rise in the temperature slip variable was linked to a drop in the Nusselt number (heat transfer).The Nusselt number increased 0.15% and 5.63% respectively when the velocity slip parameter enhanced from 0 to 5 and the NPs volume percentage were increased from 0 to 1.5%. Furthermore, an increase in the temperature slip from 0 to 3 inflated the x-direction skin friction coefficient 8.2%, while inflation in the velocity slip from 0 to 5 was associated with a decline in the x-direction skin friction coefficient 95%.
