Irreversibility analysis of ternary hybrid nanofluid flow through an oblique microchannel with Hall current: a comparative study

Abstract

The ternary hybrid nanofluid is developed for application in engineering and technology such as oil extraction, converting solar thermal energy, and power storage. Hence the main aim of this study is to scrutinise the flow and irreversibility analysis of water based CuO − F e 3 O 4 hybrid nanofluid and CuO − F e 3 O 4 − Ag ternary hybrid nanofluid in an oblique microchannel. The influence of heat source coefficient, Hall current, nonlinear radiative heat flux and slip condition on the ternary nanofluid flow in a channel have been studied by considering buoyant force and the Buongiorno model. The dimensionless terms were employed to transform the governing partial differential equation into the ordinary differential equation. In the next step the RKF45 numerical technique is employed to crack the ordinary differential equations. The upshot elucidated that the intensified Hall parameter strongly supports the primary and secondary flow field. The thermophoretic parameter inflates with an augmented thermal field. A comparative analysis of ternary hybrid nanoliquid and hybrid nanoliquid has been made with the flow in an oblique channel. In the Bejan number and entropy, the ternary hybrid nanofluid is strongly supported than the hybrid nanofluid.
