Abstract
A computational analysis is performed to inspect the impact of a non-uniform heat source on the 2D magneto-Sakiadis flow of methanol-based AA7075/AA7072 hybrid nanoliquid across a horizontally moving needle. The sway of alloy nanoparticles, needle thickness, and chemical reaction on the flow-determining factors is considered. The aluminum alloy nanoparticles used in this investigation, i.e. AA7072 and AA7075, are uniquely composite materials comprising enhanced thermal and chemical properties. The arising systems of equations are exercised by implementing the bvp5c Matlab package, and the sway of pertinent constraints on the flow features are examined and illustrated graphically. The pivotal objective of the present investigation is to explore the enhanced energy transport feature of AA7075+AA7072 methanol hybrid nanofluid and AA7072+methanol nanofluid. Flow geometry plays a significant role in convective heat transfer. The current study focused on which solution suits best to identify the effective thermal conductivity and heat transfer rate of the fluid flow over a non-uniform surface, and we concluded that the hybrid nanofluid is better suited for the flows over uneven surfaces.
