Two-phase flow of dusty fluid with suspended hybrid nanoparticles over a stretching cylinder with modified Fourier heat flux

Abstract

The current paper explores the influence of hybrid nanoparticles on the dusty liquid flow through a stretching cylinder by employing the modified Fourier heat flux law. Two phase model is implemented in the present research to characterise the fluid flow. Molybdenum disulphide and silver are used as nanoparticles suspended in base fluid water. The equations which represent the described flow are changed into a set of ordinary differential equations by opting appropriate similarity variables. The reduced dimensionless nonlinear ODEs are numerically solved out by using Runge–Kutta–Fehlberg fourth fifth order inclusive of shooting approach. The impact of several dimensionless parameters over velocity and thermal gradients are deliberated by using graphs. Graphical illustrations for skin friction are also executed. Result outcome reveals that, rise in values of mass concentration of particle declines the velocity and thermal gradient of both dust and fluid phases and cumulative in curvature parameter upsurges the velocity and thermal gradient within the boundary. Further, the heightening of thermal relaxation parameter enhances the thermal profile of both fluid and dust phases.
