Enhancing heat transfer with 50%–50% water‐ethylene glycol hybrid nanofluid flow over a nonlinear stretching sheet

Abstract

In this article thermophysical properties of Ag−MOS2$Ag - MO{S_2}$ nanoparticles with water‐ethylene glycol mixture and its impact in augmenting of heat transport is presented. Boundary layer flow over a stretching surface with simultaneous effects of viscous dissipation, radiation, electric and magnetic field are taken into account. Self‐similarity transformation is utilized to modify the flow governing equations into system of differential equations and solved by shooting method. Program code is validated with existing results in literature and results shows good agreement. Influence of various physical parameters are visualized and Nusselt number, skin friction quantities are computed. We have observed that application of electric field increases Nusselt number. Eckert number decreases the Nusselt number for both nanofluid and hybrid nanofluid.
