RETRACTED: Aspects of magnetic dipole and heat source/sink on the Maxwell hybrid nanofluid flow over a stretching sheet

Abstract

The features of ferromagnetic fluids make them supportive for an extensive usage in magnetic resonance imaging, computer hard drives, directing of magnetic drug and magnetic hyperthermia. Owing to all such potential applications, the influence of magnetic dipole on the flow of a Maxwell hybrid nanoliquid over a stretching sheet with a non-uniform heat source/sink is examined in the current study. By choosing appropriate similarity variables, the modelled equations describing the fluid problem are reduced into ordinary differential equations (ODEs), which are then numerically solved using the Runge-Kutta Fehlberg fourth fifth (RKF-45) order method and the shooting technique. The significant effects of non-dimensional parameters on the fluid profiles are explained graphically. These outcomes reveal that the radial velocity augments with an escalation in Maxwell parameter values, whereas it declines for the rising values of the ferromagnetic interaction parameter. For increasing values of the ferromagnetic interaction parameter, the velocity profile for both hybrid nanoliquid and nanoliquid decreases. This discovery supports the widely held notion that magnetic fields are frequently employed to control the flow behaviour of fluids. The rising values of space and temperature dependent heat source/sink parameters improves the heat transfer.
