Impact of Nanoparticles Shapes on Magnetohydrodynamic Flow and Heat Transfer of Casson Hybrid Nanofluids over a Moving Inclined Plate

Abstract

This study investigated the impact of different nanoparticles shape on magnetohydrodynamic of Casson hybrid nanofluids flow and heat transfer over a moving inclined plate with convective boundary conditions. The study infused water with silver (Ag) and Titanium Oxide (TiO2) to analysed the velocity and temperature profiles as well as skin friction and Nusselt number. The numerically method solved by by applying the implicit finite difference, Keller Box method based on similarity transformation techniques that used to convert the partial differential equations of Casson hybrid nanofluids to an ordinary differential equation. The results showed that platelet shaped nanoparticles had the highest velocity and temperature profiles, while a parameter of aligned angle of magnetic field, , interaction of magnetic field, , mixed convection parameters, , inclined angle parameters, , Casson parameters, , and Biot numbers, is increased, the velocity is increased and temperature is decreased. Conversely, as the volume fraction of nanoparticles, is increased, the velocity is decreased and temperature is increased. For moving inclined plate, the highest skin friction is moving against the flow while moving along the flow plate has the highest Nusselt number. The findings of the study can be useful in designing and optimizing various industrial applications that involve the transport of Casson hybrid nanofluids.
