Abstract

Non-Newtonian nanofluids flow due to the augmented thermal performances of nanoparticles, and their importance in various sectors plays a vital role in medicine, cosmetics, manufacturing, and engineering processes. In this regard, the present theoretical investigation explores the magneto-flow of Casson hybrid nanofluid through a continuous moving/fixed surface with significant suction. The nature of spherical copper and alumina dispersed in water was assessed as the conventional heat transfer in Casson fluid with impacts of viscous dissipation and Ohmic heating. Two states are addressed regarding symmetry, one corresponding to a surface moving in parallel with a free stream and the other a surface moving in the opposite direction to the free stream. In the momentum equation, the Casson model with magnetic field effect is exploited. The governing equations are transformed into the necessary equations using transformations invoking symmetric property of the independent variables. The numerical outputs of the nonlinear governing equations are collected using an efficient improved shooting method with fast convergence and low computational cost. Graphical demonstrations of the influence of relevant parameters on symmetrical behavior for velocity, skin friction, Nusselt number, and temperature are shown.
