Abstract
This study's primary contribution determines the heat transfer performance and flow characteristics of a hybrid nanofluid between two parallel disks. The squeezing aspects of the hybrid nanofluid are investigated considering when the plates shift apart and come together. The impacts of thermal radiation and suction/injection are further investigated. Also, the Darcy-Forchheimer model is used for porous medium. The mathematical formulation for the transport of momentum and heat is portrayed by a partial differential equation set, which is then diagnosed by embracing a fourth-order exactness program (Bvp4c). Graphical findings expose the importance of miscellaneous arising parameters on the velocity, temperature, and local Nusselt numbers. The dominant value of porosity constraint and magnetic parameter reduces the temperature distribution of fluid. Furthermore, increased squeeze number causes the temperature profile to exhibit contrary behavior. Hybrid nanofluid gives notable enhancement in heat transfer rate compared to nanofluid.
