Numerical simulation for magnetized transport of hybrid nanofluids with exponential space-based heat source

Abstract

The prime aim of this investigation is to discuss the two-dimensional steady analysis of hybrid nanoliquids in the existence of magnetohydrodynamics (MHD), thermally radiation and viscous dissipation effects over a linear stretchable sheet. Carbon nanotubes (SWCNT and MWCNT) with copper (Cu) are comprised in the propylene glycol-based fluid. The significance of propylene glycol-based fluid is affected under the exponential space-based heat source phenomenon. The remarkable role of propylene glycol on thermal transport of hybrid nanoliquids is influenced in the presence of temperature-dependent viscosity. The highly nonlinear governing partial differential structures are reduced to nonlinear ODEs by using suitable transformations. The transformed nonlinear ODEs of flow problem have been solved numerically by employing bvp4c (shooting) scheme with Lobatto-IIIA formula in MATLAB. The physical outcomes of involved parameters are obtained by utilizing the graphical and tabular data. The heat transport rate and the skin friction under the numerical data are also presented. From the results, we concluded that the velocity of fluid is declined for higher nanoparticles volume fraction. Velocity of fluid is declined with growing magnetic parameter. Furthermore, the temperature is upgraded with the growing thermal Biot number.
