Abstract
The flow of a ternary nanofluid through a bi-directionally distending sheet has been analyzed by employing the Casson model. The ternary nanofluid is formed by suspending the aluminum alloys namely AA7072 and AA7075 along with the oxide Al2O3 into blood. The nanoparticles that are suspended in the base fluid are assumed to be in the shape of a blade so that the maximum surface of the nanoparticle will be intact with the base fluid and thus will absorb more heat from the surface. Also, the shape of the nanoparticle helps in faster movement within the nanofluid. The flow is further subjected to velocity and thermal slips. With these assumptions, the mathematical model is framed with the help of partial differential equations considering thermal radiation and heat source/sink to achieve realistic results. These equations are further transformed into non-linear differential equations that are solved using the RKF−45 technique. The results of this study are interpreted graphically for various parameters concerning fluid flow. It is observed that the fluid flow velocity is ebbed considerably with the increase in Casson parameter and the slips at the boundary have enhanced the corresponding fluid profiles.
