Impacts of Stefan Blowing on Hybrid Nanofluid Flow over a Stretching Cylinder with Thermal Radiation and Dufour and Soret Effect

Abstract

The focal interest in this article is to investigate the Stefan blowing and Dufour and Soret effects on hybrid nanofluid (HNF) flow towards a stretching cylinder with thermal radiation. The governing equations are converted into ODE by using suitable transformations. The boundary value problem solver (bvp4c), which is a package in the MATLAB, is used to solve the resulting ODE equations. Results show that rise in the Stefan blowing enhances velocity, temperature, and concentration profiles. Heat transfer rate increases by up to 10% in the presence of 4% nanoparticle/HNF but mass transfer rate diminishes. Additionally, skin friction coefficient, Nusselt number and Sherwood number are examined for many parameters entangled in this article. Additionally, results are deliberatively discussed in detail.
