Investigation of micropolar hybrid ferrofluid flow over a vertical plate by considering various base fluid and nanoparticle shape factor

Abstract

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to investigate micropolar magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) fluid flow passing over a vertical plate. Three different base fluids have been used that include water, ethylene glycol and ethylene glycol/water (50%–50%). Also, a nanoparticle was used in all of the base fluids. The effects of natural convection heat transfer and magnetic field have been taken into account. Design/methodology/approach The main purpose of solving the governing equations is to scrutinize the effects of the magnetic parameter, the nanoparticle volume fraction, micropolar parameter and nanoparticles shape factor on velocity, temperature and microrotation profiles, the skin friction coefficient and the Nusselt number. These surveys have been considered for three base fluids simultaneously. Findings The results indicate that for water-based fluids, the temperature profile of lamina-shaped nanoparticles is 38.09% higher than brick-shaped nanoparticles. Originality/value This paper provides micropolar MHD fluid flow analysis considering natural convection heat transfer and magnetic field in three different base fluids. The aim of assessments is the diagnosis of some parameter effects, such as magnetic parameter and nanoparticle volume fraction, on velocity, temperature and microrotation profiles and components. Also, the use of mixed base fluids presented as a novelty in this paper.

“…Gholinia et al 2 considered various base fluids suspended by hybrid nanoparticles near a circular cylinder having a sinusoidal radius to study the heat transfer rate. Hosseinzadeh et al 3 analyzed the magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) flow of micropolar hybrid ferrofluid near an upright surface by considering several regular fluids and nanoparticle shape effect. A hydrothermal analysis of ethylene glycol based nanofluid flow inside a permeable container subject to Boussinesq‐Darcy law and magnetic effects was provided by Rostami et al 4 Ardahaie et al 5 scrutinized the impacts of supplemented nanoparticles on magnetized transport of blood through a porous blood vessel.…”
