Magnetic SWCNT–Ag/H2O nanofluid flow over cone with volumetric heat generation

Abstract

The theme of this model is to examine the characteristics of heat and mass transfer flow through cone along with volumetric heat generation, variable viscosity, magnetic field and higher-order chemical reaction utilizing SWCNT–Ag/H2O hybrid nanofluid. The transformed partial differential equations are solved by shooting scheme. The numerical outcomes of physical quantities are revealed by graphs and tables. The local Nusselt number and Sherwood number are displayed with the support of bar diagram. The study depicted that an increase in temperature-dependent viscosity parameter for a particular magnetic field induced an increase in the local Nusselt number and Sherwood number. Furthermore, there was a rise in the data of internal heat generation, temperature outlines of hybrid nanofluid escalated while concentration profiles of working fluid depreciated.
