Significance of melting process in magnetized transport of hybrid nanofluids: A three-dimensional model

Abstract

A hybrid nanofluid is a more powerful type of nanofluid that improves heat transport mechanism significantly. As a consequence, this may be thought of as a modern alternative to the traditional ways of thermal energy-containing particular fluids or nanofluids. Nanofluids can be produced by displacing nano-sized particles in the regular fluid. Nanofluids have been created by using nano-sized particles characteristics such as carbides, ceramics, graphene, copper, alloyed carbon nanofibers, and many others. The thermal capacity of standard fluid is low. As a consequence, nano-sized particles are used to enhance the liquid's heat conduction. Nanoparticles offer a wide range of uses including hybrid fuel engines, heat transmission, cancer therapy and medicine. The main focus of this research is to visualize the three-dimensional Sutterby liquid with hybrid nanoparticles SiO2-SWCNT&MoS2-MWCNT and base fluid ethylene glycol EG due to stretching sheet. The melting phenomenon, thermal convection conditions and thermal radiation are also considered. By using suitable transformations, the governing PDEs are converted into dimensionless ordinary differential equations. The obtained system of ODEs is numerically solved by employing bvp4c algorithm through commercial software MATLAB. Plots are designed to scrutinize behavior of pertinent numbers on subjective flow profiles. A tabular explanation of flow parameters is also presented. The velocities and the temperature are decreased for growing power-law index. The velocities and the temperature are upgraded for increasing volume-fraction of nanoparticles. The velocities and the temperature are declined for the greater estimations of melting parameter.
