Abstract

This model investigates the irreversibility and heat transfer assessment of MHD induced Darcy-Forchheimer flow of Casson hybrid nanofluid through cone and wedge regime. A mathematical model is established to describe the flow behavior of the hybrid nanofluid under the effects of significant physical parameters. Numerical simulation of the model has been done through bvp4c solver. A comparative analysis for the velocity field between mono nanofluid (Sodium Alginate based MoS2 nanofluid) and hybrid nanofluid (Sodium Alginate based MoS2-GO nanofluid) have been presented. Another comparative analysis for isotherms for Cone and Wedge regimes is also done. In the results, various key parameters like magnetic field strength, Casson fluid parameter, the Forchheimer parameter, and the Brinkman number are taken into consideration. Findings demonstrate that the magnetic field and Forchheimer term significantly affects the irreversibility and heat transfer behavior of the Casson hybrid nanofluid through the cone and wedge regime.
