The growth of hybrid nanofluids can be connected to their
enhanced
thermal performance as pertains to the dynamics of automobile coolant
among others. In addition to that, the thermal characteristics of
water-based nanofluids carrying three different types of nanoparticles
are incredible. Keeping in view this new idea, the current investigation
explores ternary hybrid nanofluid flow over a stretching sheet. Joule
heating and viscous dissipation are addressed in the heat equation.
Three distinct kinds of nanoparticles, namely, magnesium oxide, copper,
and MWCNTs, are suspended in water to form a ternary hybrid nanofluid
with the combination MgO–Cu–MWCNTs–H
2
O. To stabilize the flow of the ternary hybrid nanofluid, transverse
magnetic and electric fields have been considered in the fluid model.
The production of entropy has been analyzed for the modeled problem.
A comparative study for ternary, hybrid, and traditional nanofluids
has also been carried out by sketching statistical charts. The equations
that govern the problem are shifted to dimension-free format by employing
transformable variables, and then they are solved by the homotopy
analysis method (HAM). It has been revealed in this work that the
flow of fluid opposes by magnetic parameter and supports by electric
field the volumetric fraction of ternary hybrid nanofluid, while thermal
profiles are gained by the growing values of these parameters. Boosting
values of the electric field, magnetic parameters, and Eckert number
support the Bejan number and oppose the production of entropy. Statistically,
it has been established in this work that a ternary hybrid nanofluid
has a higher thermal conductivity than hybrid or traditional nanofluids.
