Abstract
This research scrutinizes the significance of nanoparticle shapes over the magnetized flow of engine-oil-based Ti6Al4V nanoliquid across a surface of varied thickness under the action of Buongiorno slip effects. The transmuted dimensionless equations and edge restrictions are exercised using the bvp5c scheme. This research’s prime purpose is to enhance the thermal transmission rate due to the suspension of spherical- or laminar-shaped nanoparticles (SSNs) or (LSNs) into the base liquid. The computational outcomes for flow, energy, and concentration fields were explored via plots and numerical illustrations. Evidently, energy transmission efficiency is developed in SSNs as compared with LSNs. The Buongiorno slip and nonuniform heat source factors tend to enrich the Nusselt number. The shape factor of nanoparticles is significant in enhancing or diminishing the heat flow rate.
