Enhanced Heat Transfer in Moderately Ionized Liquid Due to Hybrid MoS2/SiO2 Nanofluids Exposed by Nonlinear Radiation: Stability Analysis

Abstract

This study considers ethylene-glycol as a moderate ionized regular liquid whose rheological behavior can be analyzed through the relations of the Carreau stress–strain tensor. Hybrid nanoliquids are potent liquids that give better performance for heat transfer and the properties of thermo physical than regular heat transfer liquids (water, ethylene glycol, and oil) and nanoliquids by single nanomaterials. Here, a type of hybrid nanoliquid involving silicon oxide (SiO2) and Molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) nanoparticles with ethylene glycol as a base liquid are considered. In addition, the impact of nonlinear radiation along with Lorentz force is invoked. Similarity variables are utilized to acquire the numerical findings and their solutions for transmuting ordinary differential equations (ODEs). Using bvp4c from MATLAB, we can obtain these quantitative and numerical results of the converted nonlinear equations. The impacts of the pertinent constraints on the temperature distribution, velocity, Nusselt number, and skin friction are estimated. The outcomes indicate that the double-edged methods for the results originate from the precise values of the permeable parameters. Further, the critical values (Sc = 1.9699, 2.0700 and 2.2370) are enhanced due to the influence of the local Weissenberg number. This implies that the increasing value of the local Weissenberg number accelerate the boundary layer separation. Furthermore, a stability investigation is performed and confirms that the first solution is a physically reliable solution.
