Hybrid nanofluid flow towards a stagnation point on a stretching/shrinking cylinder

Abstract: This paper examines the stagnation point flow towards a stretching/shrinking cylinder in a hybrid nanofluid. Here, copper (Cu) and alumina (Al 2 o 3) are considered as the hybrid nanoparticles while water as the base fluid. The governing equations are reduced to the similarity equations using a similarity transformation. The resulting equations are solved numerically using the boundary value problem solver, bvp4c, available in the Matlab software. It is found that the heat transfer rate is greater for the hybr… Show more

“…This finding upholds the assumption of the convective heat transfer system can be improved by optimizing the nanoparticle concentration when φ 2 increased. The results obtained in Figures 6 and 7 are consistent with Waini et al [20] and Zainal et al [21], whereby adding the concentrations of hybrid nanoparticles may contribute to the improvement of the heat transfer rate, accordingly. The temperature profile in Figure 9 describes the temperature variations when the conventional Al 2 O 3 -H 2 O nanofluid becomes the hybrid Al 2 O 3 -Cu/H 2 O nanofluid in both first and second solutions.…”

“…The ground-breaking research in this topic was first initiated by Hiemenz [14] who exposed an analytical explanation of two-dimensional stagnation point flow, and soon after, Homann [15] conducted a classical study of stagnation point in three-dimensional flow with regard to an axisymmetric case; whereas Howarth [16] tackled the problem of non-axisymmetric flow close to the stagnation area in three-dimensional analysis. Recently, Khashi'ie et al [17,18], Fang and Wang [19], Waini et al [20], and Zainal et al [21] have scrutinized the stagnation point flow problems in diverse aspects with no-slip boundary conditions. Nevertheless, in numerous engineering occasions, the slip effect should be comprised, such as flow over lubricated or coated surfaces, rough or striated surfaces [22] and internal rare field gas flow [23].…”

“…The addition of tiny particles to the base fluid is a well-known technique for thermal-characteristics improvement, that lead to enhancement in drag forces 38 . Additionally, some other types of nanoparticles used in hybrid nanofluid recently studied by Waini et al 39 42 for the enhancement of heat transfer. It is also discovered that 5% volume fraction of nanoparticles in base fluid is more effective for the maximum heat transfer rate.…”
