    Abstract This paper discusses the model of the boundary layer (BL) flow and the heat transfer characteristics of hybrid nanofluid (HNF) over shrinking/stretching disks. In addition, the thermal radiation and the impact of velocity and thermal slip boundary conditions are also examined. The considered hybrid nano-fluid contains silver (Ag) and iron oxide (Fe3O4) nanoparticles dispersed in the water to prepare the Ag-Fe3O4/water-based hybrid nanofluid. The requisite posited partial differential equations model is converted to ordinary differential equations using similarity transformations. For a numerical solution, the shooting method in Maple is employed. Moreover, the duality in solutions is… More >

    Abstract Modeling the boundary layer flow of ternary hybrid nanofluids is important for understanding and optimizing their thermal performance, particularly in applications where enhanced heat transfer and fluid dynamics are essential. This study numerically investigates the boundary layer flow of alumina-copper-silver/water nanofluid over a permeable stretching/shrinking sheet, incorporating both first and second-order velocity slip. The mathematical model is solved in MATLAB facilitated by the bvp4c function that employs the finite difference scheme and Lobatto IIIa formula. The solver successfully generates dual solutions for the model, and further analysis is conducted to assess their stability. The findings More >
