Investigation of thermodynamics characteristics of ternary hybrid nanofluid flow over a stretching sheet

Abstract

This paper considers two-dimensional electrically conducting and incompressible ternary hybrid nanofluid flow on a stretching sheet with the convective boundary condition and heat source effect. Relevant similarity formulas are effectuated in converting the governing equations into a system of ordinary differential equations (ODEs) and are further treated numerically using the spectral quasilinearization method (SQLM), with error analysis. The prominent dimensionless parameters controlling the flow, and heat transfer characteristics are discussed. The results of this study show that Eckert number, heat source parameter, and magnetic effect boost the temperature profile. This work expected significant information for the future applications of innovative heat transfer devices, as well as a valuable reference for researchers to study flow behavior under various assumptions.
