The growth of hybrid nanofluids can be connected to their enhanced thermal performance as pertains to the dynamics of automobile coolant among others. In addition to that, the thermal characteristics of water-based nanofluids carrying three different types of nanoparticles are incredible. Keeping in view this new idea, the current investigation explores ternary hybrid nanofluid flow over a stretching sheet. Joule heating and viscous dissipation are addressed in the heat equation. Three distinct kinds of nanoparticles, namely, magnesium oxide, copper, and MWCNTs, are suspended in water to form a ternary hybrid nanofluid with the combination MgO-Cu-MWCNTs-H2O. To stabilize the flow of the ternary hybrid nanofluid, transverse magnetic and electric fields have been considered in the fluid model. The production of entropy has been analyzed for the modeled problem. A comparative study for ternary, hybrid, and traditional nanofluids has also been carried out by sketching statistical charts. The equations that govern the problem are shifted to dimension-free format by employing transformable variables, and then they are solved by the homotopy analysis method (HAM). It has been revealed in this work that the flow of fluid opposes by magnetic parameter and supports by electric field the volumetric fraction of ternary hybrid nanofluid, while thermal profiles are gained by the growing values of these parameters. Boosting values of the electric field, magnetic parameters, and Eckert number support the Bejan number and oppose the production of entropy. Statistically, it has been established in this work that a ternary hybrid nanofluid has a higher thermal conductivity than hybrid or traditional nanofluids.
This work addresses the ability to manage the distribution of heat transmission for fluid flow occurs upon a paraboloid thin shaped hot needle by using hybrid nanoparticles containing Copper Oxide (CuO) and Silver (Ag) with water as pure fluid. The needle is placed horizontally in nanofluid with an application of Hall current and viscous dissipation. The popular Buongiorno model has employed in the current investigation in order to explore the impact of Brownian and thermophoretic forces exerted by the fluid. The modeled equations with boundary conditions are transformed to non-dimensional form by incorporating a suitable group of similarity variables. This set of ordinary differential equations is then solved by employing homotopy analysis method (HAM). After detail study of the current work, it has established that the flow of fluid reduces with growth in magnetic effects and volume fractions of nanoparticles. Thermal characteristics increase with augmentation of Eckert number, magnetic field, volume fractions of nanoparticles, Brownian motion parameter and decline with increase in Prandtl number. Moreover, concentration of nanoparticles reduces with corresponding growth in Lewis number and thermophoresis, chemical reaction parameters while increases with growth in Brownian motion parameter.
In this research paper we examined Darcy-Forchheimer three-dimensional micro-polar nanofluid flow of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) based on water. The nanofluid flow is examined between parallel and horizontal plates in a rotating system. The thermal radiation impact is taken to be varying in the absorption/generation for the purpose, to see the concentration as well as the temperature modifications between the nanofluid and the surfaces. The micro-polar nanofluid in permeable media is designated by assuming the Darcy-Forchheimer model where drenching permeable space obeys the Darcy-Forchheimer expression. For Skin friction coefficient it is perceived to be larger for weak concentration and smaller for strong concentration. The impacts of the porosity, rotation and inertia coefficient analysis have been mainly focused in present investigation. Plots have been presented in order to study how the velocities and temperature profile get affected by various flow parameters. The leading equations are converted to a system of nonlinear differential equations and then homotopic method is employed for solution. The other physical features of flow such as Skin friction, heat flux and mass flux have been studied. The impacts of the porosity, rotation and inertia coefficient have been mainly focused in this research.
In this article, the heat transfer is examined in spinning flow of the Casson nanofluid. The spinning motion is produced with the help of stretching and rotating cylinder. In current work two cases, both for constant and variant axial temperature over the exterior of the spinning cylinder are studied. For controlling the rate of heat transfer, some heat effects such as heat generation/absorption, Joule heating and thermal radiations have been considered for flow system. For investigation the influence of thermophoretic force and Brownian motion exerted by Casson nanofluid, the famous Buongiorno model has been employed. The modeled equations have converted to dimensionless form using a set of similar variables. To improve the solution convergence of flow equations a compressed variable is also employed. As the main outcome of this work, it has observed that, with growing values of Reynolds number and magnetic parameter the flow characteristics reduce in all directions. A growth in temperature profile is also observed for constant wall temperature (CWT), while a reduction is noticed in temperature profile for prescribed surface temperature (PST). Moreover, the concentration of fluid reduces with growing values of Prandtl and Lewis numbers.
