MHD flow of hybrid nanofluid past a stretching sheet: double stratification and multiple slips effects

Abstract

Studies of hybrid nanofluids flowing over various physical geometries and conditions are popular among researchers to understand the behavior of these fluids. Thenceforth, the numerical solutions for hybrid Ag-CuO/H2O nanofluid flow over a stretching sheet with suction, magnetic field, double stratification, and multiple slips effects are analyzed in the present study. Governing equations and boundary conditions are introduced to describe the flow problem. Then, similarity variables are applied to transform the equations into non-linear ordinary differential equations and boundary conditions. The numerical computation for the problem is done in Matlab (bvp4c solver), and the results are presented in tables and graphs. It is found that the rise in solutal slip and stratification parameters reduces the Sherwood number. Meanwhile, the increase in thermal slip and stratification parameters lowers the Nusselt number. The skin friction coefficient is observed to increase with the augmentation of the hydrodynamic slip parameter.

Ternary hybrid nanofluid flow caused by thermal radiation and mass transpiration in a porous stretching/shrinking sheet

“…Recently, there has been a lot of interest in the problem of MHD nanofluid boundary layer flow over a stretching/shrinking sheet [11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18]. Alias and Hafidzuddin [14] considered the problem of a magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) induced Navier slip flow over a non-linear stretching/shrinking sheet with the existence of suction.…”

“…Jalali et al [16] studied magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) stagnation point flow in a porous medium with velocity slip. Yahaya et al [17] analyzed numerical solutions for the flow of an Ag-CuO/H 2 O hybrid nanofluid over a stretching sheet with suction, a magnetic field, double stratification, and multiple slip effects. Nithya and Vennila [18] considered the steady, incompressible, two-dimensional hydromagnetic boundary layer flow of nanofluid passing through a stretched sheet under the influence of viscous and ohmic dissipations.…”

“…Using the Laplace transform technique, Shah et al [6] examined the flow behavior of the second-grade fluid containing a ternary nanoparticle suspension in a vertical plate. Because of its significant features, ternary nanofluid is well-known and valuable among researchers [7,8] and [9].…”
