Features of flow and heat transport of MoS2+GO hybrid nanofluid with nonlinear chemical reaction, radiation and energy source around a whirling sphere
Abstract
The current investigation employs a numerical simulation to demonstrate the impact of hall current on unsteady free convective flow caused by hybrid-nanofluid over a revolving sphere approaching the stagnation point. The prominent characteristics of Lorentz force as a result of magnetic field coupling with hybrid nanofluid is also explored. The process of energy and mass transmission is inspected with nonlinear thermal radiations, non-uniform energy supply, dissipation and nonlinear chemical reaction. In current flow model, a unique class of nanofluid known as the hybrid nanofluid is being used, which contain GO (graphene oxide) and MoS2 (molybdenum disulfide) with water. The angular speed of both the sphere and free stream changes frequently with time. Employing adequate dimensionless variables, the partial-differential patterns strongly non-linear that represent the situational analysis are morphed into non-linear ordinary differential patterns. The analytical outcomes of ordinary differential pattern have been developed via OHAM technique. Utilizing tables and graphs, various aspects of such controllable physical characteristics have been highlighted and explored in depth. For varying values of M,φ,δ,Sc and Kn,the variations in Cfx, Cfz,Nu and Sh in MoS2-GO/H2O are the greatest as contrasted to MoS2/H2O. The results are also compared to those reported existing literature and they are noticed to be in very close agreement.
