Abstract
Comparative heat transfer analysis in conventional (Al2O3-CuO/H2O)hnf and modified hybrid nanofluid known as ternary hybrid nanofluid (Al2O3-CuO-Cu/H2O)mhnf is one of the potential topics of interest and is the demand of modern technological world to cope with the heat transfer problems faced by the industrialists and engineers. Therefore, the study is organized for hybrid and tri-hybrid nanofluids for their thermal storage. To improve thermal energy storage in the above-mentioned fluids, novel effects of a uniform magnetic field, convective heat transfer mode, and newly developed empirical correlations are used to synthesize tri-hybrid nanofluids. The comparative analysis under various physical constraints reveals that tri-hybrid nanoliquids have ultra-high thermal efficiency than conventional nanoliquids. Therefore, these fluids are very beneficial for industrial uses more specifically for purification purposes or where ultra-high heat transfer is required to accomplish the process.
