Abstract
This research investigates the flow of an electrically conductive hybrid nanofluid across a porous plate that is in motion and experiencing temperature and velocity slip. In addition, the impacts of radiation absorption and variable suction are included. The heat transfer phenomena have been investigated using a hybrid nanofluid consisting of distilled water, brass, and cobalt. The behavior of the hybrid nanofluid is determined by the Tiwari-Das model. The graphs are drawn with the help of MATLAB software. It is noticed that compared to C u 3 Z n 2 − T i O 2 hybrid nanofluid, C − T i O 2 with distilled water exhibits the optimum heat transfer by 5.72 % for fixed values of S and R . The temperature reaches at its maximum at y = 0.4520. Remarkably, the maximum improvement of 42.9547 % is noted for R a = 0.8 , ϕ 1 = ϕ 2 = 0.02 , S = 0.2 , h 2 = 0.5 . The addition of brass and cobalt nanoparticles to a base fluid may considerably lower its operational temperature. The hybrid nanofluid composed of carbon-titanium oxide shows the greatest increase in heat transmission, but the hybrid nanofluid made of brass titanium-oxide indicates just a modest improvement. The buoyancy forces enhance the growth of both the momentum and thermal boundary layers. As the C u 3 Z n 2 − C o hybrid nanofluid acts as a coolant, which can be used in the cooling of the battery. • This paper investigates the flow of electrically conducting hydrodynamic hybrid nanofluids. • The regular perturbation approach is used. • The temperature, velocity, and concentration behaviors are elucidated through graphs and tables. • The effectiveness of the present results is validated with a published work.
