Dual Branches of MHD Three-Dimensional Rotating Flow of Hybrid Nanofluid on Nonlinear Shrinking Sheet

Abstract

In this study, magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) three-dimensional (3D) flow of alumina (Al 2 O 3 ) and copper (Cu) nanoparticles of an electrically conducting incompressible fluid in a rotating frame has been investigated. The shrinking surface generates the flow that also has been examined. The single-phase (i.e., Tiwari and Das) model is implemented for the hybrid nanofluid transport phenomena. Results for alumina and copper nanomaterials in the water base fluid are achieved. Boundary layer approximations are used to reduce governing partial differential (PDEs) system into the system of the ordinary differential equations (ODEs). The three-stage Lobatto IIIa method in bvp4c solver is applied for solutions of the governing model. Graphical results have been shown to examine how velocity and temperature fields are influenced by various applied parameters. It has been found that there are two branches for certain values of the suction/injection parameter b: The rise in copper volumetric concentration improved the velocity of hybrid nanofluid in the upper branch. The heat transfer rate improved for the case of hybrid nanofluid as compared to the viscous fluid and simple nanofluid.

Influence of Radiation and Convection on 3D-Casson Hybrid Nanofluid Flow in the Presence of Suction Over a Rotary Sheet

“…This set of BVP problems is then solved by implementing Bvp4c code in MATLAB, along with the identified boundary conditions. The "inbuilt MATLAB code bvp4c" implements the three-stage Lobatto IIIa method [47], [38], [27].…”

Numerical solution and statistical analysis of the unsteady hybrid ferrofluid flow with heat generation subject to a rotating disk

“…They revealed that the addition of nanoparticles volumetric concentration diminished the blood velocity and temperature profiles. The discussions regarding the thermal and flow characteristics of hybrid nanofluids were reported by Khashi'ie et al [21][22][23][24] for disc case, Khan et al [25][26][27] for wedge and cylinder geometries and Lund et al [28][29][30][31] for stretching/shrinking plate. The hybrid nanofluid flow subjected to the unsteadiness decelarating case was analyzed by Zainal et al [32][33][34][35][36] for various geometries.…”

Analysis of GO-MoS2/EG Powell-Eyring Fluid Transportation in Stagnation Point Flow and Heat Transfer over a Shrinking Surface

“…They inferred that the magnetic field grows both the momentum and temperature of the liquid. Lund et al, [13] inspected MHD 3D Cu-Al2O3/H2O on a nonlinear shrinking plate using the 3-level Lobato Illa method and concluded that the magnetic effect diminishes both the velocity and temperature of the fluid. Another study by Lund et al, [14] also proved that the magnetic field slows down the speed of the fluid.…”
