Abstract
The influence of velocity slip and thermal radiation effects on the magnetohydrodynamic hybrid Cu-Al2O3/water nanofluid flow over a permeable stretching sheet is reported in this paper. The similarity transformation is adopted to reduce the partial differential equations to the ordinary differential equations. Exact analytical method is implemented to solve the problem. Maple program is used to facilitate the calculation process. The new additional effects which are the velocity slip and thermal radiation effects are considered towards the model to scrutinize the impacts. The effects of various parameters towards the velocity and temperature profiles are demonstrated through graphs, meanwhile the skin friction coefficient and the local Nusselt number are exhibited through the tabulation of data. The existence of velocity slip reduced the velocity profile but enhanced the temperature profile. The thermal radiation effect has increased the temperature profile. The heat transfer rate are enhanced for the case of hybrid nanofluid compared to the mono nanofluid.
