Nonlinear radiative transport of hybrid nanofluids due to moving sheet with entropy generation

Abstract

Abstract The goal of this research is to investigate the mathematical framework for the MHD flow of hybrid nanoliquids with CNTs and nonlinear thermally radiation over a moving sheet. This model is used for blood-based nanoliquids for two related nanomaterials. To see temperature fluctuations, the nonlinear and linear thermal radiations were used to differentiate the objective of this model. The main governing equations are converted from PDEs to ODEs using similarities transformations. The shooting approach is used to obtain the graphical and numerical results by employing a bvp4c solver in computational software MATLAB. The results of this research may be used to determine the influence of certain important design factors on heat transfer and, as a result, to optimize energy sources. For increasing the volume fraction of nanomaterials, the velocity field is enhanced. The thermal profile increases as the heat source-sink parameter enlarges. The thermal field has been improved to account for the changes in Eckert number and the temperature ratio parameter. For larger estimations of the Brinkman constant, the entropy field is enhanced. For larger estimations of the volume fraction of nanoparticles, the entropy field is enhanced.
