“…On their interest study of MHD hybrid Cu–Al 2 O 3 /H 2 O nanofluid flow past a permeable stretching sheet by Wahid et al (2020), it was stated that the reduced Nusselt number increases as the Cu-nanoparticle volume fraction is escalated. There are several papers on HNFs available in the literature reviewing; for example, see Sarkar et al (2015), Sidik et al (2016), Sundar et al (2017) and Eshgarf et al (2021) and in the recently published papers related to the boundary layer in Aly and Pop (2019), Waini et al (2019, 2020), Aly and Ebaid (2021), Balaji et al (2021), Aly et al (2021), Sepehrnia et al (2022), Usafzai et al (2022), Usafzai and Aly (2022), Xuan et al (2022), Waqas et al (2022), Khashi’ie et al (2022), Roşca et al (2022), Roy and Pop (2022), Said et al (2022), Aly et al (2023) and also in the four interested books by Das et al (2007), Shenoy et al (2016), Nield and Bejan (2017) and finally Merkin et al (2022).…”
