Title Impact of Magnetic Field on Hybrid Nanofluid Flow in the Presence of Convective Boundary Conditions

Author(s) Abdul Ghafoor

Abstract This study aims to examine how the presence of an electrically conducting hybrid nanofluid affects the flow when the fluid is flowing over a porous surface. The study also takes into consideration the convective boundary conditions. The governing equations for the conservation of mass, momentum and energy for the hybrid nanofluid flow over the exponentially stretching surface are introduced. By employing the similarity transformation approach, the set of partial differential equations are transformed into a set of non-dimensional ordinary differential equations. The bvp4c method is utilized to solve these governing equations in order to obtain velocity and temperature profiles. The results indicate that solutions exist for cases involving the assisting and opposing flows. The study presents the findings of a boundary layer analysis considering different volume fractions of composite nanoparticles, suction/injection parameter, magnetic parameter, Eckert number and Biot number. The outcomes demonstrate that the presence of nanoparticles has a notable influence on drag force and Nusselt number within the boundary layer. Additionally, the study establishes the relationship between the variations in surface skin friction and heat transfer for both assisting and opposing flow scenarios.
