Magneto-Stefan blow enhanced heat and mass transfer flow in non-Newtonian ternary hybrid nanofluid across the nonlinear elongated surface

Abstract

The present article explores the flow and heat transfer properties of a non-Newtonian ternary nanofluid over a nonlinear stretched surface by considering magnetic, chemical reaction, and Stefan blow effects. The ternary nanoliquid considered here are of three distinct nanoparticles such as Ag, MoS2, and SiO2 due to their high thermal conductivity, thermal stability and lubricating particles each dispersed in a base fluid (H2O). Using similarity transformations, the governing partial differential equations (PDEs) that describe the flow, heat transfer, and nanoparticle concentration distribution are turned into a system of ordinary differential equations (ODEs). In order to deal with this system, the shooting strategy is utilized – a numerical method renowned for its efficacy in solving nonlinear boundary value problems. Furthermore, the effects of critical parameters such as the Jeffrey parameters, magnetic field strength, Stefan blow parameter, and nanoparticle volume percentage on flow and heat transmission characteristics are comprehensively investigated. It is observed that the velocity field augments when Stefan blow parameter Sb > 0 (mass blowing) and reduces when Sb < 0(mass suction). It is noteworthy to observe that an increase in the Prandtl number (Pr) corresponds to a decrease in the temperature field. The findings of this research possess the potential to provide practical ramifications in diverse technical, biomedical, and industrial sectors, including but not limited to polymer processing and nanomaterial creation. These findings hold significant value in situations where precise control of fluid flow and heat transfer is essential for maximizing overall performance and efficiency.
