Abstract
Within a magnetohydrodynamic environment, Marangoni convection (Thermocapilarity effect) in an unsteady thin film of hybrid nanoliquid flow over a disk has been discussed. A set of simplified Navier-Stokes equation using boundary layer theory is written in order to model the above mentioned flow situation. The dissipative effects caused by viscosity and magnetic field have been incorporated in temperature-balance equation. A suitable choice of transform variables facilitate a system of ordinary differential equations (ODEs) from original partial differential equations (PDEs) representing the flow phenomena. This system of ODEs are solved by shooting technique in conjunction with Runge-Kutta 4th order numerical scheme. This study reveals that by increasing the surface tension along the liquid-air interface, the velocity of hybrid nanoliquid can be increased. In the context of this research work, the hybrid nanoliquid prepared by dispersing blade shaped [Formula: see text] and Cu nanoparticles, is an ideal liquid as far as liquid coolants are concerned.
