Numerical simulations of thermal heat conservation in hybrid nanofluids with chemical reaction, viscous dissipation, and inclination

Abstract

In this work numerical solutions using finite difference method of hybrid nanofluids (TiO2–Cu/Water) over an inclined plate are obtained. The nanoparticles are taken of volume fraction of size less than or equal to 0.05. Heat and mass transfers are studied. Chemical reaction and viscous dissipation effect are also examined. The results are computed and plotted for various parameters such as radiation, chemical reactions, and magnetohydrodynamics. The results of skin friction, rate of heat and mass transfers are computed in tables for Prandtl number 6.2 which corresponds to water and discussed in details. The present results can be used for comparison in future research for other non-Newtonian fluids models.
