Abstract
AbstractThermal energy transition through hybrid nanofluid flow paly an important role in the industries and manufacturing sectors. This paper reported an analytical assessment of three-dimensional (3D) magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) hybrid nanofluid flow along with the thermal properties and its applications in solar energy. The flow field has been subjected to a vertically uniform magnetic field. The resemblance substitution strategy has been used to simplify the system of partial differential equations (PDEs) to the dimensionless system of ordinary differential equations ODEs. The obtained set of ODEs is further solved by using the Optimal Homotopy Asymptotic Method (OHAM). The effects of various physical constraints are examined in the velocity and heat profile. The outcomes of skin friction and Nusselt number are presented in Figures. The convergence for the proposed model is attained up to the 25th iteration and is elaborated in the form of a table. It has been perceived that the insertion of nano constituents in the base fluid, significantly enhances the velocity of hybrid nanofluid and energy transfer rate.KEYWORDS: Casson hybrid nanofluidMHDrotating surfacenonlinear thermal radiationOHAM Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).
