In this paper, the magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) flow of a ternary hybrid ferrofluid over a stretching/shrinking porous sheet in the presence of radiation and mass transpiration is studied. The ternary hybrid nanofluid is formed by suspending three types of nanoparticles for enhancing heat transfer. The nanoparticles of copper, (Cu) iron oxide (Fe3O4), and cobalt ferrite (CoFe2O4) are suspended in water in this study, producing in the combination Cu-Fe3O4-CoFe2O4-H2O. Brownian motion and thermophoresis are integrated into the ternary hybrid ferrofluid model. Similarity transformations convert the governing partial differential equations into ordinary differential equations. The boundary value problem (BVP) is used in the Maple computer software to solve transformed equations numerically. The computed results for relevant parameters such as velocity profile, temperature profile, skin friction coefficient, local Nusselt and Sherwood numbers are visually shown and explained in detail.
An examination is carried out for three-dimensional incompressible viscoelastic fluid flow over a porous stretching/shrinking sheet with hybrid nanoparticles copper-alumina in base fluid water . The uniform magnetic field of strength is applied perpendicular to the fluid flow and considered the Navier slip. The mass transfer is considered with the chemical reaction rate. The governing equation for the defined flow forms the system of partial differential equations, which are then transformed into a system of ordinary differential equations via similarity transformations. The goal is to find the exact analytical solution, and the unique solution is determined by considering the boundary layer theory. Furthermore, the obtained system is solved to get the exact analytical solution for velocity and concentration fields in exponential form and in hypergeometric form, respectively. The exact solutions are obtained for velocity and temperature profiles, Skin friction, and Nusselt number. These findings are beneficial for future research in the present area. The parameters magnetic field, Inverse Darcy number, slip parameter, chemical reaction parameter, stretching/shrinking parameter, and viscoelastic parameter, influence the flow. The effect of these parameters on fluid velocity and concentration field will be analyzed through graphs. Skin friction and Nusselt number are also analyzed. This work found many applications in machining and manufacturing, solar energy, MHD flow meters and pumps, power generators, geothermal recovery, flow via filtering devices, chemical catalytic reactors, etc.
