Abstract
Nanoparticles have numerous applications and are used frequently in different cooling, heating, treatment of cancer cells and manufacturing processes. The current investigation covers the utilization of tetra hybrid nanofluid (aluminium oxide, iron dioxide, titanium dioxide and copper) for Crossflow model over a vertical disk by considering the shape effects (bricks, cylindrical and platelet) of nanoparticles, electro-magneto-hydrodynamic effect and quadratic thermal radiation. The present study is devoted to present the mathematical formulation of the tetra-hybrid nanofluid flow in a porous channel with stretching/shrinking walls. The present inspection model is derived from given partial differential equations (PDEs) and then transformed into a system of ordinary differential equations (ODEs) by incorporating similarity variables. The transformed ODEs are solved using the bvp4c methodology, which yields numerical results. From the obtained results it is observed that the maximum amount of [Formula: see text] happens when there is slightly increase in [Formula: see text] with stretched wall that is [Formula: see text]. A high radiation value indicates a considerable contribution from radiative heat transfer, whereas stretching and shrinking increase and reduce the size of the boundary. The combined impact caused an increase in the Nusselt number. The graphical and tabular representations are used to explain the physical behaviour of various model parameters. Previous outcomes are also contrasted with the current outcomes.
