Non-similar analysis of two-phase hybrid nano-fluid flow with Cattaneo-Christov heat flux model: a computational study

Abstract

The purpose of this research elaborates the behaviour of the two-phase hybrid nano-fluid flow of viscous fluid through the stretching sheet. Impacts of heat transfer, for MHD two-dimensional steady flow over stretching surface with Cattaneo-Christov (CC) model are discussed. Bio-convective, thermal radiation and convective conditions are considered. Porous surface and velocity slip effects are also considered. Darcy-Forchheimer relation characterizes porous medium. The governing equations are solved through MATLAB. Plots of temperature and velocity fields are discussed via various estimations of emerging variables. Results findings shows the velocity profile decreases in case of both simple and hybrid nano-fluids for higher estimations of magnetic parameter and local inertia coefficient parameter. Fluid temperature reduces for maximum thermal relaxation parameter and possess higher values against radiation parameter. Microorganism profile reduces bio-convection Lewis number but increases for the magnetic parameter. Prominent results from this study include determining the effective parameters to enhance heat transfer efficiency and defining the circumstances in which the nano-fluid performs better than traditional fluids. These discoveries offer significant perspectives on the utilization of Cattaneo-Christov model with hybrid nano-fluid flow in comprehensive thermal management systems and establish a basis for subsequent practical and theoretical investigations within the domain.
