“…Further, Giri et al [13] considered the fluid flow in the vertical channel in which they found that both the Nusselt number for local sensitive heat and the Nusselt number for local condensation decline monotonically along the axial direction. Later, Giri et al [14] used the simpler algorithm to investigate the governing equations of the model. Some interesting outcomes of the nanofluid for various physical conditions and effects can be found in these papers [15][16][17].…”

This article aims to study numerically the rotating, steady, and three-dimensional (3D) flow of a hybrid nanofluid over an exponentially shrinking sheet with the suction effect. We considered water as base fluid and alumina (Al2O3), and copper (Cu) as solid nanoparticles. The system of governing partial differential equations (PDEs) was transformed by an exponential similarity variable into the equivalent system of ordinary differential equations (ODEs). By applying a three-stage Labatto III-A method that is available in bvp4c solver in the Matlab software, the resultant system of ODEs was solved numerically. In the case of the hybrid nanofluid, the heat transfer rate improves relative to the viscous fluid and regular nanofluid. Two branches were obtained in certain ranges of the involved parameters. The results of the stability analysis revealed that the upper branch is stable. Moreover, the results also indicated that the equations of the hybrid nanofluid have a symmetrical solution for different values of the rotation parameter (Ω).
