Numerical study of Williamson hybrid nanofluid flow with thermal characteristics past over an extending surface

Abstract

AbstractThe energy and mass dissemination rate have been studied through Williamson hybrid nanofluid (NF) flow comprised of silver (Ag) and magnesium oxide (MgO) nanoparticles (NPs) past over an extending porous surface. The hybrid nanofluid has synthesized by dispersion of Ag and MgO nanoparticles in the base fluid (engine oil). The effects of the constant magnetic field, thermal dissipation, and heat source are also studied in the present analysis. The above scenario has been designed in the form of a nonlinear system of partial differential equations, which are processed through a similarity framework to the system of dimensionless ordinary differential equations. The results are obtained by the numerical computational approach parametric continuation method. It has been perceived that the velocity contour decreases with rising upshots of porosity parameter Kp and magnetic force M, while enhances with the variation of volume friction coefficient. The increment of Biot number Bi, heat source Q, and Eckert number Ec enhances the energy profile, respectively. Furthermore, the mass conversion rate decreases with the variation of thermophoretic parameters and Schmidt number.
