MHD Hybrid Nanofluid Flow over a Stretching/Shrinking Sheet with Skin Friction: Effects of Radiation and Mass Transpiration

Abstract

The study of inclined magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) mixed convective incompressible flow of a fluid with hybrid nanoparticles containing a colloidal combination of nanofluids and base fluid is presented in the current research. Al2O3-Cu/H2O hybrid nanofluid is utilized in the current analysis to enhance the heat transfer analysis. The impact of radiation is also placed at energy equation. The main research methodology includes that the problem provided equations are first transformed into non-dimensional form, and then they are obtained in ordinary differential equations (ODEs) form. Then using the solutions of momentum and transfers equations to solve the given ODEs to get the root of the equation. The main purpose includes the resulting equations are then analytically resolved with the aid of suitable boundary conditions. The results can be discussed with various physical parameters viz., stretched/shrinked-Rayleigh number, stretching/shrinking parameter, Prandtl number, etc. Besides, skin friction and heat transfer coefficient can be examined with suitable similarity transformations. The main significance of the present work is to explain the mixed convective fluid flow on the basis of analytical method. Main findings at the end we found that the transverse and tangential velocities are more for more values of stretched/shrinked-Rayleigh number and mass transpiration for both suction and injection cases. This is the special method it includes stretched/shrinked-Rayleigh number, it contributes major role in this analysis. The purpose of finding the present work is to understand the analytical solution on the basis of mixed convective method.
