Abstract
The flow and heat transfer past a moving wedge in a hybrid nanofluid is studied. A set of governing equations is transformed into ordinary differential equations using the similarity transformation. The resulting equations are then solved using bvp4c solver in MATLAB. The effects of the wedge angle parameter and nanoparticle volume fraction parameter of Al2O3-Cu/water on the skin friction coefficient and heat transfer characteristics are investigated. It is found that increasing the wedge angle parameter and Cu nanoparticles volume fraction gives rise to the skin friction coefficient and heat transfer on the surface. Further, dual solutions exist when the wedge moves in the opposite direction with the free stream.
