Modified Buongiorno's model for the analysis of chemically reacting jet flow of ternary hybrid nanofluid under the influence of activation energy and bio‐active mixers

Abstract

AbstractIn the modern era, the heat transfer is the basic need in every field of sciences and engineering. To augment the energy transfer, the ternary hybrid nanofluid (Thnf) has been used. After the successful nanofluid working performance, the researchers used this idea in many physical situations. Later on, the researchers tried to further improve the performance of nanofluid with high stability. Motivated from the unique practical applications of hybrid nanofluid, in the present analysis, we have considered ternary nanoliquid, which is obtained by the suspension of three nano particulates in base fluids. The aim of the present research is to highlight the thermal applications of ternary nanofluid in the vertical stretching wall jet flow. The suspension of three different nano solid particles is considered in a base liquid water a jet flow over a vertical extending sheet is addressed. In addition to this, the presence of chemical reaction in the concentration, thermophoresis effect in the energy equation and heat source is also addressed. To model the present phenomena of flow using the modified Buongiorno's model, that highlights the impact of Brownian motion and thermophoresis effect. The present flow problem is modelled in terms of PDE's. To transform the obtained model, we use appropriate similarity variables. The transform model is then solved numerically, using the fast convergence numerical PCM approach (parametric continuation method). The solution obtained is shown through graphical representation by indicating the impact of pertinent flow parameters. Finally, from the present results, we obtained that the performance of Thnf is effective in water as compared to hybrid nanoliquid and mono nanofluid. Furthermore, the motile gyrotactic microbes profile gets lower with the varying values of bioconvection Lewis number and Peclet number.
