Intricate dynamics of MHD radiative hybrid magnetic nanofluid movement along convectively heated slanted stretched sheet with shape factor and slip conditions in porous medium

Abstract

This study incorporates the impact of shape factor and slip conditions on a radiative hybrid magnetic nanofluid over slanted sheet being convectively heated within a porous medium, providing valuable insights for enhancing thermal management systems in manufacturing techniques such as the extrusion of plastic films, cooling of metallic plates, and the drawing of polymer fibers. The effect of viscous dissipation, thermal radiation, aligned magnetic field, velocity slip, heat generation, buoyancy force, porosity, and thermal slip on the dynamics of fluid movement are comprehensively discussed. The governing equations were simplified into nonlinear ordinary differential equations through similarity variables and Bvp4c solver in MATLAB was utilized to observe the effects of pertinent parameters on temperature and velocity profiles, alongside the local Nusselt number and skin friction coefficient. It was determined that the hybrid nanofluid’s effective thermal conductivity was most significantly enhanced by blade-shaped nanoparticles. The local Nusselt number enhanced with upsurge of thermal radiation parameter and Biot number whereas opposite trend was observed with incrementation in other parameters. The augmentation in thermal slip and velocity slip resulted in lowering local skin friction coefficient. This research highlights the complex interplay between various physical factors and their influence on the dynamics of hybrid nanofluids, offering potential strategies for optimizing performance of thermal systems comprising hybrid nanofluids.
