Significance of Hybrid Nanoparticles and Lorentz Force on the Flow of Water as Base Fluid: The Case of Modified Buongiorno's Model

Abstract

The aim of this current analysis is to explore the properties of the hybrid nanoparticles subjected to non-Newtonian fluid flow over a linearly stretched surface. For the improvement of thermal transport, Tewari and Das model is altered with modify Buongiorno's model. By imposing appropriate similarity transformations on (PDEs), nonlinear ordinary differential equations are achieved. Applying the current similarity synthesis, the PDE model is translated into ODEs and the modified equations are overcome by a well-known shooting technique. The resulting set of nonlinear ordinary differential equations is eliminated mathematically by utilizing the Runge-Kutta 4th order method in MATLAB software. The velocity profile goes down with the uplifting values of Hartmann number but it is clearly observed that the results of hybrid nanoparticle's is more effective than mono nanoparticles. To valid the given model, a comparison table is made with the data present in already published papers. Across a comprehensive range of magnetic field intensities, inverse Darcy numbers, and viscoelastic characteristics, the hybrid nanofluid exhibits a moderately enhanced skin friction factor, a slightly diminished heat transfer performance by the Nusselt number, and a marginally improved mass transfer efficiency by the Sherwood number. This work can find applications in the field of metal cooling, paper production etc.
