Go-MoS₂/Water Flow over a Shrinking Cylinder with Stefan Blowing, Joule Heating, and Thermal Radiation

Abstract

The impacts of Stefan blowing along with slip and Joule heating on hybrid nanofluid (HNF) flow past a shrinking cylinder are investigated in the presence of thermal radiation. Using the suitable transformations, the governing equations are converted into ODEs, and the MATLAB tool bvp4c is used to solve the resulting equations. As Stefan blowing increases, temperature and concentration profiles are accelerated but the velocity profile diminishes and also the heat transfer rate improves up to 25% as thermal radiation upsurges. The mass transfer rate diminishes as increasing Stefan blowing. The Sherwood number, the Nusselt number, and the skin friction coefficient are numerically tabulated and graphs are also plotted. The outcomes are conscientiously and thoroughly discussed.
