Exploring the effects of TiO2${\rm TiO}_2$–Ag/water hybrid nanofluid on MHD flow over a permeable exponentially stretching–shrinking sheet with radiative heat transfer and slip conditions

Abstract

AbstractThe objective of this article is to study the importance of velocity and thermal slip in the exponentially stretching or shrinking sheet with the megnetohydrodynamic (MHD) hybrid nanofluid flow along with magnetic field, radiative, heat generation effects. This study has practical importance in enhancing heat transfer efficiency, improving energy conversion and optimizing thermal management systems. The findings can also contribute to the development of sustainable energy systems and aid in assessing the stability and safety of nanofluid applications. The governing partial differential equations are transformed into nonlinear ordinary differential equations using similarity transformation. The ODEs are solved using bvp4c solver in MATLAB. The dual solutions are achieved for specific range of the stretching or shrinking parameter and mass suction parameter. The first solution is physically significant after considering stability analysis. The hybrid nanofluid has numerous real‐life and industrial applications, such as microelectronics, manufacturing, naval structures, nuclear system cooling, biomedical, and drug reduction. The skin‐friction increases but Nusselt number decreases over the stretching sheet whereas the opposite effect shows over shrinking sheet for the both solution with the increasing velocity slip parameter. On the other hand, The Nusselt number decreases over the shrinking or stretching sheet for both solutions with the increasing in the thermal slip parameter. The skin friction increases over shrinking sheet but decreases over stretching sheet for the first solution with increasing silver volume fraction parameter and porosity parameter (). Enhancing magnetic field parameter leads to the skin friction increases over the shrinking sheet but decreases over stretching sheet but Nusselt number shows opposite trend. The Nusselt number decreases over shrinking sheet but increases over stretching sheet for the first solution with increasing porosity parameter (). The Nusselt number decreases over shrinking or stretching sheet as the increases heat generation () and variable thermal conductivity parameter () but Nusselt number shows opposite trend as the increases radiative parameter ().
