Hybrid nanofluid slip flow and heat transfer over a stretching surface

Abstract

In this article, the impact of hybrid nanoparticles on different physical quantities in a Cu-Fe3O4/ethylene glycol-based hybrid nanofluid is associated with a steady and fully developed natural convective flow over a stretching surface. The significant results of the investigation are that the ferrous oxide/ethylene glycol-based hybrid nanofluid enlarged with partial slip parameter undermines the tangential velocity and liquid suction. It causes a minute radial velocity along with temperature distribution through a stretching surface. The analysis is presented in dimensionless form and the resultant equation is solved using Fourth order R–K Fehlberg with shooting technique. It is a phenomenon found in a mixture of mobile particles that exhibit specific responses temperature strength. The particle moves to the hot clod region in thermal diffusion then it is called ‘positive’ otherwise it is called as ‘negative’. The consequences of this investigation are of significance with the evaluation of the impact of some essential design parameters on heat transfer and, therefore, in the enhancement of industrial processes.
