Title Characteristics of Melting Heat Transfer in Hybrid Nanofluid Flow with Joule Heating

Author(s) Rabia Aftab

Abstract Hybrid nanofluids are accepted as more useful fluids than traditional nanofluids. There is no doubt that the hybrid nanofluids’ mixed properties of two or more nanoparticles respond to better thermal conductivity. The concept is beneficial for improving the properties of the advanced kind of nanofluids than those made out of a single nanoparticle. The present study examines the magnetohydrodynamic hybrid nanofluid flow near a stagnation point over a stretching sheet of variable thickness. The heat transfer phenomenon is analyzed in the presence of Joule heating, melting heat transfer, viscous dissipation and heat generation/absorption. The fluid model is presented in the form of partial differential equations and in order to convert these partial differential equations into ordinary differential equations, appropriate similarity transformations are used. Bvp4c method, a numerical technique is employed to solve the ordinary differential equations and through this method, the effects of influential parameters on velocity, skin friction coefficient, temperature and Nusselt number are examined. A graphical comparison of basefluid (Gasoline oil), nanofluid (SWCNTs, gasoline oil), and hybrid nanofluid (SWCNTs, Ag and gasoline oil) is also carried out which provides the evidence of hybrid nanofluids’ improved performance.
