Abstract Efficient thermal management in porous media is essential for advanced engineering applications, including solar energy systems, electronic cooling, and aerospace thermal control. This study presents a comprehensive analysis of ternary hybrid nanofluids, TiO₂–CdTe–MoS₂ dispersed in water, flowing over a vertical stretching or shrinking surface in a Darcy–Brinkman porous medium. The investigation accounts for the combined effects of magnetohydrodynamics, thermal radiation, viscous dissipation, and internal heat generation. In contrast to previous studies that predominantly focused on single or binary nanofluids, the present work systematically examines the thermal and hydrodynamic performance of ternary hybrid nanofluids, highlighting their enhanced… More >

Abstract The purpose of the present investigation is to explore the implications of Cross fluid in a Darcy-Forchheimer porous medium due to the tri-hybrid nanofluid past a porous cylinder. Thermal radiation, heat generation, thermal convection, solutal convective and chemical reaction have been encountered in this analysis. Entropy generation has been accounted for under the fluidic friction, heat rate analysis, and porosity analysis. Three different nanoparticles of multiwall carbon nanotube (MWCNT), aluminum oxide (Al2O3), and silver (Ag) are utilized to illustrate the tri-hybrid nanofluid flow with Ethlene Glycol (EG) as the base fluid.

Abstract Fluid dynamic research on rectangular and trapezoidal fins is aimed at increasing heat transfer by means of large surfaces. The trapezoidal cavity form is compared with its thermal and flow performance, and it is revealed that trapezoidal fins tend to be more efficient, particularly when material optimization is critical. Motivated by the increasing need for sustainable energy management, this work analyses the thermal performance of inclined trapezoidal and rectangular porous fins utilising a unique hybrid nanofluid. The effectiveness of nanoparticles in a working fluid is primarily determined by their thermophysical properties; hence, optimising these properties… More >

Abstract The present investigation inspects the unsteady, incompressible MHD-induced flow of a ternary hybrid nanofluid made of SiO2 (silicon dioxide), ZnO (zinc oxide), and MWCNT (multi-walled carbon nanotubes) suspended in a water-ethylene glycol base fluid between two perforated squeezing Riga plates. This problem is important because it helps us understand the complicated connections between magnetic fields, nanofluid dynamics, and heat transport, all of which are critical for designing thermal management systems. These findings are especially useful for improving the design of innovative cooling technologies in electronics, energy systems, and healthcare applications. No prior study has… More >

Abstract Hybrid nanofluids have gained significant attention for their superior thermal and rheological characteristics, offering immense potential in energy conversion, biomedical transport, and electromagnetic flow control systems. Understanding their dynamic behavior under coupled magnetic, rotational, and reactive effects is crucial for the development of efficient thermal management technologies. This study develops a neuro-fuzzy computational framework to examine the dynamics of a reactive Cu–TiO₂–H₂O hybrid nanofluid flowing through a squarely elevated Riga tunnel. The governing model incorporates Hall and ion-slip effects, thermal radiation, and first-order chemical reactions under ramped thermo-solutal boundary conditions and rotational electromagnetic forces. Closed-form analytical… More >

Abstract Magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) radiative chemically reactive mixed convection flow of a hybrid nanofluid (Al₂O₃–Cu/H₂O) across an inclined, porous, and stretched sheet is examined in this study, along with its unsteady heat and mass transport properties. The hybrid nanofluid’s enhanced heat transfer efficiency is a major benefit in high-performance engineering applications. It is composed of two separate nanoparticles suspended in a base fluid and is chosen for its improved thermal properties. Thermal radiation, chemical reactions, a transverse magnetic field, surface stretching with time, injection or suction through the porous medium, and the effect of inclination, which introduces gravity-induced… More >

Abstract The current work aims to numerically investigate the impact of using (50% ZnO and 50% Al₂O₃) hybrid nanofluid (HNf) on the performance of convective heat transfer inside a horizontal wavy micro-channel. This issue represents a novel approach that has not been extensively covered in previous research and provides more valuable insights into the performance of HNfs in complex flow geometries. The conjugate heat transfer approach is used to demonstrate the influence of adding hybrid nanoparticles (50% Al₂O₃ and 50% ZnO) to pure water on the rate of heat transfer. The governing equations are numerically solved by… More >

Abstract This study investigates laminar convection in three regimes (forced convection, mixed convection, and natural convection) of a bi-nanofluid (Cu-Al₂O₃-water)/mono-nanofluid (Al₂O₃-water) inside a square enclosure of sliding vertical walls which are kept at cold temperature and moving up, down, or in opposite directions. The enclosure bottom is heated partially by a central heat source of various sizes while the horizontal walls are considered adiabatic. The thermal conductivity and dynamic viscosity are dependent on temperature and nanoparticle size. The conservation equations are implemented in the solver ANSYS R2 (2020). The numerical predictions are successfully validated by comparison with… More >
