Abstract
Hybrid nanofluids are used in several industrial fields, such as solar power systems, electronics cooling, heat exchangers, aviation industry, medical devices and advanced manufacturing. Hybrid nanofluids provide a versatile solution for enhancing the thermo-physical possessions of the fluid for industrial applications. In this report, steady electrically conductive hybrid nanofluid flow is examined under the role of linear radiation, mixed convection, Joule heating, viscous dissipation, and uniform heat source/sink over a porous shrinking surface. This study aims to boost thermal transportation to meet the requirements of the manufacturing and engineering industries. The modeling process generates PDEs, converted into ODEs through suitable alteration. MATLAB bvp4c built in function are used to solve these ODEs numerically. The considered physical characteristics like suction/injection, volume fraction, shrinking parameter, inclination angle, magnetic field, curvature parameter, buoyancy, thermal radiation, Eckert number and uniform heat source/sink effects on flow, energy, friction drag and thermal transportation rate profiles are reviewed using plots. An important outcome of the proposed investigation is that the heat conveyance rate of a hybrid nanofluid is enhanced with an increment of volume fraction and curvature effects. Moreover, magnetic strength reduced the fluid motion and enhance the thermal distribution for stable branch solution. Thermal boundary regime is also boost with the impacts of Radiation and Eckert number parameters.
