Numerical simulations of Darcy-forchheimer flow of radiative hybrid nanofluid with Lobatto-IIIa scheme configured by a stretching surface

Abstract

Heat transport and energy storage continue to be major issues for manufacturers and scientists. So far, the notion of novel heat transfer fluids has been developed, namely nanofluids and hybrid nanofluids. This investigation examines thermal radiation effect on heat transfer in MHD flow using the hybrid nanofluid. It examines a hybrid nanofluid (SWCNT-Al2O3/H2H6O2–H2O and MWCNT-CuO/H2H6O2–H2O) with H2O water base fluid nature passing through a starching surface with thermal radiation, Biot number and melting phenomena. The suitable similarity transformations are used to transmute the main governing system of equation PDEs and the appropriate boundary conditions for computation with the help of well-reputed shooting technique. The graphical and numerical outcomes against dissimilar flow parameters are computed by the mathematical software MATLAB. The velocity distribution profile is decreased by growing values of the Rotation parameter and porosity parameter. The velocity profile is enhanced by increasing the values of Darcy forchheimer medium. The thermal distribution field is enhanced by rising estimations of the thermal radiation parameter and Biot number. Temperature of the fluid is increasing due to increase in thermal conductivity parameter while decreasing due to increase in Marangoni ratio parameter. The present model hybrid nanofluid of heat transmission is evaluated to see if it has higher thermal energy storage efficiency than standard nanofluids. As a result, these novel findings in heat transport might be advantageous in dealing with energy storage issues in the modern technological environment.
