Numerical study of melting heat transfer in stagnation-point flow of hybrid nanomaterial (MWCNTs+Ag+kerosene oil)

Abstract

Purpose The purpose of this study is to analyze hybrid nanofluid (MWCNTs+Ag+Kerosene oil) over a stretched cylinder. Flow analysis is carried out in presence of stagnation-point. Features of heat transport are examined via melting conditions. Design/methodology/approach Governed expression (partial differential equations) for flow and heat transfer are transmitted into ordinary differential equations (ODEs) via applying adequate transformations. For solutions development shooting method (bvp4c) is used on these non-linear coupled ODEs. Findings Comparative observation among hybrid nanofluid (MWCNTs+Ag+Kerosene oil), basefluid (kerosene oil) and nanofluid (MWCNTs+Kerosene oil) are performed. Influences of physical parameters on heat transfer rate, velocity, skinfriction coefficient and temperature are visualized graphically. Higher values nanoparticle volume fractions, curvature parameter, melting parameter and velocity ratio parameter lead to intensification in the velocity profile. The temperature of the fluid reduces with higher values nanoparticle volume fractions, curvature parameter and melting parameter. The surface friction coefficient is minimized via a higher melting parameter and velocity ratio parameter. Heat transmission rate intensifies with velocity ratio parameter, nanoparticle volume friction and curvature parameter while it reduces gradually with larger melting parameter. During comparative study performance of hybrid nanomaterial (MWCNTs+Ag+Kerosene oil) is outstanding and is proceeded by nanomaterial (MWCNTs+ Kerosene oil) and basefluid (kerosene oil). Originality/value In the presented study authors have analyzed the flow of hybrid nanomaterial (MWCNTs+Ag+Kerosene oil) by a stretching cylinder. The further cylinder is subjected to stagnation point and melting condition. The authors believe that all the consequences of the presented study and numerical technique (bvp4c) are original and not published before.

Entropy Analysis and Melting Heat Transfer in the Carreau Thin Hybrid Nanofluid Film Flow

“…Then, Khashi'ie et al [36] reconsidered the problem solved in [35] by incorporating the presence of hybrid nanoparticles and corroborated the finding as mentioned above in [35]. Even though the melting heat transfer effect has been probed under several settings; see [37,38]; yet, the inspection of the melting heat transfer effect in the thin film flow is scarce. Thus, this motivates the present work to scruntise the melting heat transfer effect in the thin film flow.…”

Off-centered stagnation point flow of an experimental-based hybrid nanofluid impinging to a spinning disk with low to high non-alignments

“…Indeed, a hybrid nanofluid has better features like superior thermal conductivity compared to mono-nanofluids, physical strength, chemical stability, mechanical resistance and so on (Afshari et al , 2021; Agrawal et al , 2021; Dinarvand et al , 2019). Some possible usages of hybrid nanofluids are: biomedical applications, solar energy applications, drug delivery, thermal storage systems, micro-electrical systems, advanced heat exchangers and many others (Hayat et al , 2021; Dinarvand et al , 2021; Nejad, 2020; Ben Jaballah et al , 2019; Nejad, 2021; Mousavi et al , 2021).…”

Simultaneous solutions for convective heat transfer in dusty-nano- and dusty-hybrid nanoliquids

“…Recently, Kumar et al 28,29 examined the impact of linear/non-linear radiation on the MHD flow of micropolar fluid caused by a stretching sheet. Moreover, Muhammad et al 30–32 and Hayat et al 33 deliberated the thermal transfer features of a hybridized nanoliquid past a curved and variable thickness surface with Newtonian heating and melting heat effects. Recently, Punith et al 34 and Varun et al 35 numerically examined the two-phase flow of dusty hybridized nanofluid through a stretchy cylinder by considering viscous dissipation and Fourier heat flux model.…”
