Exact Solutions for Wall Jet Flow of Hybrid Nanofluid

Abstract

Hybrid nanofluid wall jet problem of Glauert type has been investigated under effects of the thermal radiation, suction parameter, moving parameter, slip velocity and temperature jumps. Via similarity variables governing equations are converted to system of ODEs. Then, resulted equations are solved exactly for velocity and temperature field in the view of gamma and hypergeometric functions. Further, to confirm the similarity solutions, a relationship between the free stream velocity, slip parameter along with suction parameter, moving parameter and solid volume fractions were introduced. In addition, we discussed the physical existence of the slip parameter and asymptotic behavior in a relation with the moving and suction parameters. Further, the obtained outputs are matched with the previous works. It is seen that adding the copper nanoparticles to the nanofluid titanium dioxide/water has effective part in the velocity behavior. Moreover, they warm the hybrid nanofluid on increasing the thermal radiation parameter. However, effects of suction and temperature jump parameters lead to cooling the hybrid nanofluid temperature. Furthermore, for enlarging the wall velocity, the hybrid nanofluid is much better rather than the classical nanofluid. The current analysis has important applications; such as liquid crystal solidification and polymer process.
