Abstract and Figures

Prandtl–Eyring hybrid nanofluid (P-EHNF) heat transfer and entropy generation were studied in this article. A slippery heated surface is used to test the flow and thermal transport properties of P-EHNF nanofluid. This investigation will also examine the effects of nano solid tubes morphologies, porosity materials, Cattaneo–Christov heat flow, and radiative flux. Predominant flow equations are written as partial differential equations (PDE). To find the solution, the PDEs were transformed into ordinary differential equations (ODEs), then the Keller box numerical approach was used to solve the ODEs. Single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNT) and multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNT) using Engine Oil (EO) as a base fluid are studied in this work. The flow, temperature, drag force, Nusselt amount, and entropy measurement visually show significant findings for various variables. Notably, the comparison of P-EHNF’s (MWCNT-SWCNT/EO) heat transfer rate with conventional nanofluid (SWCNT-EO) results in ever more significant upsurges. Spherical-shaped nano solid particles have the highest heat transport, whereas lamina-shaped nano solid particles exhibit the lowest heat transport. The model’s entropy increases as the size of the nanoparticles get larger. A similar effect is seen when the radiative flow and the Prandtl–Eyring variable-II are improved.

Prandtl–Eyring hybrid nanouid (P-EHNF) heat transfer and entropy generation were studied in this
article. A slippery heated surface is used to test the ow and thermal transport properties of P-EHNF
nanouid. This investigation will also examine the eects of nano solid tubes morphologies, porosity
materials, Cattaneo–Christov heat ow, and radiative ux. Predominant ow equations are written
as partial dierential equations (PDE). To nd the solution, the PDEs were transformed into ordinary
dierential equations (ODEs), then the Keller box numerical approach was used to solve the ODEs.
Single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNT) and multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNT) using
Engine Oil (EO) as a base uid are studied in this work. The ow, temperature, drag force, Nusselt
amount, and entropy measurement visually show signicant ndings for various variables. Notably,
the comparison of P-EHNF’s (MWCNT-SWCNT/EO) heat transfer rate with conventional nanouid
(SWCNT-EO) results in ever more signicant upsurges. Spherical-shaped nano solid particles have the
highest heat transport, whereas lamina-shaped nano solid particles exhibit the lowest heat transport.
The model’s entropy increases as the size of the nanoparticles get larger. A similar eect is seen when
the radiative ow and the Prandtl–Eyring variable-II are improved.

Liquid mechanics’ limits are dened by the thin uid or liquid layer in contact with the pipe’s or an aircra wing’s
surface. In the boundary layer, shear forces can damage the liquid. Given that the uid is in touch with the surface,
a range of speeds exists between the maximum and zero boundary layer speeds. Limits on the trailing edge of an
aeroplane wing, for example, are smaller and thicker. A thickening of the ow occurs at the front or upstream end
of these boundaries. In 1904, Prandtl proposed the concept of boundary layers to describe the ow behaviour
of viscous uid near a solid barrier (see Aziz etal.1). Using the Navier Stoke equations, Prandtl constructed and
inferred boundary layer equations for large Reynolds number ows. As a necessary simplication of the original
Navier–Stokes equation, the boundary layer theory equations were critical. Studying wall jets, free jets, uid jets,
ow over a stretched platform/surface, and inductive ow from a shrinking plate helps develop the equations
for these phenomena. Boundary layer equations are oen solved using a variety of boundary conditions that are
specic to a given physical model. For a magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) uid ow with gyrotactic microorgan-
isms, Sankad etal.2 found that the magnetic and Peclet numbers may be utilised to reduce the thermal boundary
layer thickness. Aer that, Hussain etal.3 discovered that the thickness of the thermal boundary layer increases
as a Casson liquid ows towards the growing porous wedge due to convective heat transfer. e literature has
several experiments with various physical parameter impacts on boundary layer ow46 and multiple liquids7,8.
A hybrid nanouid is now attracting the attention of many researchers. Hybrid nanouids are cutting-edge
nanouids that combine two dierent types of nanoparticles in a single uid. e thermal properties of the
hybrid nanouid are better than those of the primary liquid and nanouids. In machining and manufacturing,
hybrid nanouids are commonly utilised in solar collectors, refrigeration, and coolants. According to Suresh
etal.9, copper nanoparticles in the alumina matrix mixed at most modest and sucient levels may preserve
the hybrid nanouid’s strength, rst introduced in9. Despite having a lower thermal conductivity than copper
nanoparticles, alumina nanoparticles have excellent chemical inactivity and stability. Yildiz etal.10 developed an
equivalence between theoretical and experimental thermal conductivity models for heat transfer performance
in hybrid-nanouid. In comparison to a mono nanouid, the hybridisation of nanoparticles improved heat
transfer at a lower particle percentage (Al2O3). Waini etal.11 investigated a hybrid nanouid’s unsteady ow and
heat transfer using a curved surface. As the surface curvature changed, the presence of dual solutions resulted in
intensication in the volume percentage of copper nanoparticles. Many years later, Qureshi etal.12 investigated
the hybrid mixed convection nanouid’s characteristics in a straight obstacle channel. ey’ve discovered that

increasing the barrier’s radius improves heat transfer by as much as 119%. In addition, the horizontal orienta-
tion of the cylinder only supports a heat transfer eciency of 2.54%. Mabood and Akinshilo13 investigated the
inuence of uniform magnetic and radiation on the heat transfer ow of Cu-Al2O3/H2O hybrid nanouid ow-
ing over the stretched surface. Discoveries such as those made at the science fair show how radiation speeds up
heat transport while magnetic forces slow it down. Further hybrid nanouid studies and experiments have been
conducted by these researchers1424.
e Cattaneo–Christov heat ux model describes the heat transfer in viscoelastic ows caused by an expo-
nentially expanding sheet. ere may be a relationship between thermal relaxation time and the boundaries of
this model. Dogonchi and Ganji25 researched unstable squeezing MHD nanouid ow across parallel plates
using a Cattaneo–Cristov heat ux model some years ago. e thermal relaxation parameter, they found, slowed
heat transfer. Additionally, Muhammad etal.26 discovered that when thermal relaxation increased, the uid
temperature decreased. Other researchers have used the Cattaneo–Christov heat ux model to examine uid
ow and determine the physical features that thermal relaxation aects. Scholars like2732 may be found in the
literature as examples of this group. Even the temperature of a nanouid may be reduced by the thermal relaxation
parameter, according to Ali etal.33. is nding is critical to the contemporary food, medicinal, and aerospace
industries. Waqas etal.34 introduced mathematical modelling using the Cattaneo–Christov model for hybrid
nanouid ow in a rocket engine. e nding exposed that the temperature is reduced when thermal relaxation
and melting parameters vary, but the Biot number increases. Other types of hybrids nanouid characteristics
using the Cattaneo–Christov model have been discussed by Haneef etal.35. e vital discovery uncovered an
escalation causes shrinkage in wall shear stress in momentum relaxation time. Dierent encounters were found
by Reddy etal.36 in the Cattaneo–Christov model problem for hybrid dusty nanouid ow. It reveals that dusty
hybrid nanouid has a better heat transfer method than hybrid nanouid.
Nevertheless, a few years back, a new type of uid was found called hybrid nanouid, and many researchers
have been eager to search for the characteristics of this type of uid since then. e research for nding the aspect
of non-Newtonian hybrid nanouid also needed to be done. Latterly, Yan etal.37 have conducted an investigation
towards the rheological behaviour of non-Newtonian hybrid nanouid for a powered pump. ey reported at the
highest volume fraction hybrid nanouid, the viscosity reduced at most 21%. Nabwey and Mahdy38 are doing an
inclusive exploration of micropolar dusty hybrid nanouid. e nding indicates that the temperature uctua-
tion in both the micropolar hybrid nanouid and dust phases is strengthened by increased thermal relaxation.
Several investigations have been carried out for the dierent types of non-Newtonian hybrid nanouid, such
as aluminium alloy nanoparticles by Madhukesh etal.39, MWCNT-Al2O3/5W50 by Esfe etal.40 and ZnO–Ag/
H2O by He etal.41 in the literature. Despite that, only a few research available in the literature investigating the
viscoelastic hybrid nanouid behaviour. Several models can be used to examine the physical properties of the
viscoelastic uid, including the power-law model, the Prandtl uid model, and the Prandtl–Eyring model. e
power-law model predicts the non-linear relationship between deformation rate and shear stress. It has been
hypothesised that shear stress is connected to the sine inverse function of deformation rate by the Prandtl model
and that it is related to the hyperbolic sine function of deformation rate by the Prandtl–Eyring model. Hussain
etal.42 have investigated the physical aspect of MHD Prandtl–Eyring uid ow and reported that at all positions
in the ow domain, a substantial rise in momentum transportation had been seen against an increase in the
uid parameter. Rehman etal.43 added in the ndings that Prandtl–Eyring liquid particles are subjected to drag
forces in a ow when their skin friction coecients are high (or low). A similar discovery has been conveyed
by Khan etal.44 which the skin friction improves for the Prandtl–Eyring nanouid. Later, Akram etal.45 model
a MHD Prandtl–Eyring nanouid peristaltic pumping in an inclined channel. is study demonstrates that the
wall tension and mass parameters have a rising inuence on axial velocity, whereas the wall damping param-
eter has a decreasing impact. Li etal.46 have explored the entropy of the Prandtl–Eyring uid ow model over
a rotating cone. e result demonstration the velocity and temperature have been shown to behave dierently
when the viscosity parameter increases in magnitude. Latest study for the Prandtl–Eyring hybrid nanouid
model being carried out by Jamshed etal.47. e outcome was mentioning the entropy upsurged with radiative
ux and Prandtl–Eyring parameter.
e famous numerical technique for solving non-linear boundary layer equations in uid mechanics is derived
by Keller and Cebeci48 called Keller Box Method (KBM). It is being popularised by Cebeci and Bradshaw49. e
technique is known for highly accurate and time computation in solving non-linear problems. A lot of inves-
tigations of uid dynamics have been solved using KBM in the literature. Bilal etal.50 implemented the KBM
for solving Williamson uid ow towards a cylindrical surface and found the results are comparable with other
published results. Similar numerical computation was reported by Swalmeh etal.51 in solving the micropolar
nanouid over a solid sphere using KBM. e computed solution being reported as having a good agreement with
the solution computed by bvp4c (MATLAB). e KBM is a universal solver since it is proven can solve another
type of mathematical modelling, for instance, Carreau uid model (Salahuddin52), micropolar uid (Singh
etal.53), viscous uid model (Bhat and Katagi54), Prandtl nanouid (Habib etal.55), MHD nanouid (Zeeshan
etal.56) and third-grade nanouid (Abbasi etal.57).
Size and distribution descriptors should be chosen to oer the most signicant discrimination for particulate
quality concerning specic attributes or characterisation of a manufacturing process, depending on their use.
If particle form aects these attributes, the shape and distribution of the particles should be studied in addition
to their size. Qualitative terminology like bres or akes can be used, or quantitative terms like elongation,
roundness, and angularity can also be used. Other quantitative terms include percentages of certain model
forms and fractal dimensions. Despite the importance of the particle shape, only a few research can be found
in the literature, such as5860. e latest research has been done by Sahoo61, which claimed that the particle
shapes heavily inuence the thermo-hydraulic performance of a ternary hybrid nanouid. Similar ndings have
been illustrated by Elnaqeeb etal.62 in hybrid nanouid ow with the impact of suction and stretching surface.

Meanwhile, Rashid etal.63 suggested that the temperature and Nusselt number proles demonstrate the sphere
shape nanoparticles have superior temperature disturbance and heat transmission on hybrid nanouid ow with
the inuence of relevant factors.
A few publications have examined the impact of the porosity material, viscid dissipative ow, Cattaneo–Chris-
tov heat ow and thermal radiative ow shape-factor along the elongated surface using nanouid Tiwari-Das
type on P-EHNF entropy generation. However, none of these papers has addressed these issues. In the Tiwari-
Das (monotonic model), the uid, speed, and temperature are all the same. As a result, the model is simpler and
easier to solve when using the single-phase technique numerically. However, this technique has the drawback
of resulting in numerical eects that dier from experimental results in some cases. Nanoparticle concentra-
tions in this model volume range from 3 to 20%. Numerical results could only mimic the eects of SWCNT-EO,
MWCNT-EO hybrids, and conventional nanouids in this study. us, in order to bridge the gap, the current
research focuses on the solid–uid characteristics impacts and the level of chaos in the boundary layer using
the Keller-box technique of P-EHNF.

Because of its rapid convergence, the Keller-box approach (KBM)77 is used to nd solutions for model formulas
(Fig.2). KBM is used to nd the localised solve of (10) and (11) with constraints (12). e policy of KBM is

Stage 2: separation of domains. Discretisation plays a very important in the eld of awareness. Dis-
cretising is usually conducted by making the area separated into equivalent-sized grids. Relatively lesser grids
results are chosen in obtaining a higher precision for the calculation outcomes.
where
j
is used for the spacing in
h
in a horizontal direction to show the position of the coordinates. e solu-
tion to the problem is to be found without any initial approximation. It is very crucial for nding velocity, tem-
peratures, temperature variations, and entropy to make a preliminary assumption between
=0
and
=∞
.
e frameworks from the result have been approximatedsolutions provided as they can happen the boundary
conditions of the problem. It is imperative to remark that the results must be equalled with dierent preliminary
estimations are chosen, but the replication computation and time are varied which have been taken for conduct-
ing the calculations (see Fig.3):
By implementing signicant dierences, dierence equivalences are gured, and functions are used to replace
the mean values. e 1st-order ODEs (19)–(23) have been modied to algebraic formulas which are non-linear.

the formulations in (30)–(35) as follows,

block-sized matrix is denoted by
F
that corresponds to the size of
J×J
. However, the vector of order
J×1
is represented by
¨
θ
and
p
. An esteemed LU factorising method is used for solving
¨
θ
later. e equation
F¨
θ=
p
denotes that F with an array
¨
θ
is used to yield a production array marked by
p
. Further, F is splinted into
lower and upper trigonal matrices, i.e.,
F=LU
can be written as
LU ¨
θ=
p
. Let
U¨
θ=
y
tends to
Ly =p,
which
is used to provide the solution of
y
. Further, the values of
y
computed are replaced into the equation
U¨
θ=
y
for
solving
¨
θ
. e technique of back-substitution has been implemented as this is the easy method to nd a solution.
Code verication
On the other, by measuring the heat transmission rate outcomes from the current technique against the recent
results available in the literature78,79, the validity of the method was evaluated. Table5 summarises the compar-
ing of reliabilities current during the researches. Nevertheless, the outcomes of the current examination are
exceedingly accurate.

nomenon is because SWCNT-EO has a higher density and hence has a thicker ow than MWCNT-SWCNT/EO,

Eect of porous media variable
Kς
. Figures 10, 11 and 12 demonstrate that surface porosity aects
several outputs, including ow speed, domain heat, and entropy generation. Improving the variable (
Kς
) in
Fig.10 makes the surface more porous, allowing more uid to ow through it. Due to the other particles, the
hybrid nanouid moves more slowly through the porous surface when compared to MWCNT-SWCNT/EO
Prandtl–Eyring nanouid. is occurrence might be because the added particles delay the hybrid nanouid’s
ow through the porous surface. Figure11 displays the expansion of the porous medium variable (
Kς
) results in
better heat dispersion throughout the domain. When a hole is made in a porous medium, the ow slows down,
allowing more time to collect heat from the surface. is phenomenon improves the thermal distribution around
the area. Since particle motions across porous media are sluggish, the porosity aids in the irreversibility of energy
transfer across the domain during entropy production
(NG)
(Fig.12).
Eect of nanomolecules size
φ
and
φ
hnf. e ecacy of the nanouid and hybrid versions appears
to be determined by the fractional nanoparticle size in the base uid. e more excellent fractional range of
nanoparticles reduces owability because of the additional load it adds. For some reason, the fractional upgrade
prefers the hybrid nanouid over the single-nanouid, which ows lower in Fig.13. is incidence displayed
the primary reason for utilising nano- and hybrid-based uid mixtures because of their exceptional heat trans-
mission properties. is degradation occurs as a result of excessive nanoparticle surface area and higher hybrid
nanouid density. As the fractional volume of both kinds of ow uids improved, so did the resultant thermal
distribution, as shown in Fig.14. Because of the temperature dierence, when the nano molecule size is reduced,
the molecules will disperse in the far-eld ow. e thermal boundary layer’s thickness will rise as a result of this
change. e minimal size of nano molecules can be utilised to create the lowest possible temperature prole, as
determined through experimentation. Figure15 exhibits the leading nanouid varies in the middle and settles
down to the hybrid nanouid at the far end, with energy entropy uctuations also intensifying for fractional
volume. SWCNT-EO has a greater entropy than MWCNT-SWCNT/EO because the hybrid nanouid has a far
higher thermal conductivity than nanouid.

Eect of velocity slip variable
ς
. Figures16, 17 and 18 evaluate the impact of enhanced slip circum-
stances on ow nature, thermal features, and entropy forms. Figure16 illustrates the ow conditions in Prandtl–
Eyring uid mixtures are primarily centred upon the viscous behaviour. Due to this occurrence, slip conditions
become incredibly critical in uids as a whole. For a hybrid suspended Prandtl–Eyring nanouid, the viscous
nature and higher levels of ow slip generate more complex uidity circumstances, with the result that the
uidity of the single nanouid drops even more rapidly. Due to the ow hierarchy, the SWCNT-EO nanouid
maintains a higher temperature state than the MWCNT-SWCNT/EO hybrid nanouid, which is depicted in
Fig.17. e improvement in boundary layer viscosity due to the decline in velocity will have a similar eect. As
a result, it will have skyrocketed the ow’s temperature. Because the hybrid nanouid has less viscosity than the
conventional nanouid, it is predicted MWCNT-SWCNT/EO to have a lower temperature than SWCNT-EO.
A descending trend in entropy formation can be seen for higher slip parameters because the slipped ow acts
against the domains entropy formation.
Thermal radiative variable
Nς
and relaxation time parameter (
ες
) inuence. Figures19 and 20
highlights the actual status of thermal diusion and entropy generation under enhanced heat radiative ow limi-
tation
N
ς.
ermally diusing nanouids have a propensity to rise in temperature past the interesting domain,
boosting the heat transmission burden for radiation constrictions on the transient nanouid. is temperature
rise may be explained in a physical sense by supposing that thermal radiation is converted into electromagnetic
energy. As a result, the distance from the surface from which radiation is emitted rises, ultimately superheating
the boundary layer ow. As a result, the thermal radiative variable is critical in determining the system’s tempera-
ture prole. A limit on radiative ow
N
ς
via entropy generation is illustrated in Fig.20 by the overlled disper-
sions. For dierent
N
ς
values, the entropic side-by-side leans toward developing more in MWCNT-SWCNT/
EO than in SWCNT-EO nanouid. A reasonable explanation for this occurrence is the systems irreparable heat
transfer mechanism is entirely irreversible. According to Fig.21, greater values of the relaxation time parameter
cause a rise in the temperature of the Tangent hyperbolic hybrid nanouids, as seen in the graph. As the tem-
perature drops, the thickness of the thermal boundary layer reduces. Table5 shows that when the rate of heat
output eciency, the eectiveness of the thermal system improves as well. Figure22 shows the impact of engine
oil-based nanouid entropy proles. e velocity prole, on the other hand, shows no change, while the entropy
of the system increases with varying values
ες
.
Eect of the diverse solid particle shape m. It is well-known that NPs have high thermal conductiv-
ity and transfer rates under a variety of physical conditions. In porous medium diculties, such nano-level
particles become an issue, modelled using the shape variable (m) in this study. From spherical (m = 3) to lamina
(m = 16.176), the forms considered here ranged. To improve the thermal state, Fig.23 indicates that nanoparti-
cle shapes impact it. In comparison to SWCNT-EO mono nanouid, the MWCNT-SWCNT/EO hybrid nano-
uid has a more signicant form impact. Hybrid nanouid has a broader thermal layer boundary and a more
excellent thermal distribution than nanouid. Even in the MWCNT-SWCNT/EO hybrid nanouid, the lamina
(m = 16.176) shaped particles remain ahead of the others. e main physical reason for this phenomenon is the
lamina shape particles has the most remarkable viscosity while the sphere has the minimum viscosity. It is also
noted that at a higher temperature, the viscosity of the particles will be diminished. is phenomenon happens
because of the temperature-dependent shear-thinning characteristic. e proles in Fig.24 indicate the form
factors have a more substantial inuence in MWCNT-SWCNT/EO NHF, which has a higher entropy rate than
SWCNT-EO mono nanouid, even though the morphologies of the particles have a much less impact.
Entropy variations for Reynolds number (
Re
) and Brinkman number (
Bς
). Figure25 depicted as
Reynolds number proliferations
(Re)
, the entropy rate
(NG)
improves as well. An aggregate Reynolds number
supports nanoparticle mobility in porous media because of the dominance of inertial over viscous forces in the
system. Consequently, entropy can be generated over the domain. MWCNT-SWCNT/EO HNF generated a
higher entropy rate than MWCNT-SWCNT/EO nanouid because of the combined eciency of the particles.
e Brinkman number
B
ς
was used to describe the heat created by viscous properties because it enhances the
generated heat above and beyond other thermal inputs. e heightened heat-inducing ability of such viscosity
enhancement promotes entropy production in the system as a whole
(NG)
. Figure 26 illustrated the elevated
entropy layers, which improved the Brinkman number
B
ς
values. e primary feature of viscous dislocation
heat produces a decrease in the escalating Brinkman numbers, which theoretically leads to a higher rate of
entropy development.
Final results and future guidance
e entropy production and heat transmission by a Prandtl–Eyring hybrid nanouid (P-EHNF) over a stretched
sheet is studied. By utilising a single model phase, a computational model may be developed. Several physical
characteristics are used to derive the results. ese include changes in velocity, energy, and entropy. Catta-

In this research article, we intend to perform a numerical investigation of the thermal features of MHD Williamson hybrid nanofluid flow over a linearly stretching surface with viscous dissipation and nonlinear thermal radiation effects. An external magnetic field exists in the vicinity of stagnation point along with the creation of induced magnetic field due conducting fluid. A thin film of viscous and incompressible base fluid, engine oil \((EO)\), encumbered with titanium alloy \((Ti_{6} Al_{4} V)\) and zinc oxide \((ZnO)\) nanoparticles is examined taking pure nanofluid and hybrid nanofluid cases simultaneously in a single frame in Cartesian coordinates. The governing equations are first transformed to ordinary differential equations employing similarity transformations and then simulated by successive over-relaxation method. Approximate solutions are assessed through graphs for velocity, temperature and induced magnetism corresponding to the prominent parameters. A significant improvement in wear resistance, lubrication and thermal features of the engine oil has been observed due to titanium alloy and zinc oxide hybrid nanocomposite.

Due to the vast applications of nanofluids in hybrid cooling processes and their role in improving heat transfer in thermal systems, an attempt has been made to investigate the consequence of temperature-dependent thermal conductivity in the bidirectional flowing of Prandtl–Eyring (PE) hybrid nanomaterial. Zirconium dioxide (ZrO2) and copper (Cu) nanoparticles have been dispersed into an engine oil (EO) to create an effective hybrid nanomaterial. Viscous dissipation, magnetization, linear thermal radiation, and Ohmic heating mechanisms also influence the dynamics of the hybrid nanomaterial. The governing equations have been parameterized by using similarity transformations and the thermophysical properties of nanoparticles. Keller–Box simulations for the modeled problem have been conducted using an in-house code developed in MATLAB. Convergence analysis has been presented and robust validation of the results has been performed to certify the accuracy of the numerical inspection. Post-processing of the results has been carried out by plotting temperature and velocity curves. Drag coefficient and Nusselt number have been formulated and analyzed in tabular forms. The rate of heat transfer is developed with the hybridization of ZrO2 and Cu nanoparticles into the base liquid, while drag forces are enhanced when utilizing PE material as the base liquid.

This research investigates on the heat transfer and flow characteristics of nanofluid and hybrid nanofluid over a melting stretching/shrinking surface. The present study is inspired by the impactful application of hybrid nanofluid in industrial processes such as casting and welding. Specifically, the behavior of water-based hybrid nanofluid containing alumina oxide and Cu nanoparticles is analyzed, while influences of magnetohydrodynamics and thermal radiation are considered. Employing the Keller Box method, the governing equations are numerically solved. A comparison between the hybrid and alumina oxide/water-based nanofluid is presented. Key parameters, including the melting, stretching/shrinking factors, magnetic influences, Nusselt number, and skin friction are examined and presented through graphical and tabular representations. The findings underscore the enhanced heat transfer efficiency exhibited by hybrid nanofluid relative to regular nanofluid. It is observed that the heat transfer rate decreases with an increase in the melting parameter and is inversely impacted by the stretching/shrinking parameters. This research provides insights into the heat transfer behaviors in hybrid and regular nanofluid across melting boundaries, useful for their practical applications.

The study of fluid dynamics in the context of flow across a rotating disk is highly important since it has extensive applications in multiple industries, as well as in engineering and scientific fields. The objective of our current research is to investigate the heat transfer in the vicinity of a Stagnation Point of a Maxwell nanofluid flow passing over a porous rotating disk. A rotating disc is a phenomenon where a circular arc is formed at every point on the disc as it rotates uniformly around an axis. The shear stress at the interface between the disc and the spinning fluid provides information about the amount of power required to overcome friction and move the disc and the heat transfer is influenced by the alterations in the flow field inside the region. The heat and mass movement are studied in the context of a chemical process. Firstly, convert the PDEs into ODEs, suitable self-similarity transformation is used. After applying transformations, for graphical purpose we have used the Bvp4c technique. A variety of graphs (2D, Contour, vector plots, and Stream lines) and tables depict the impact of active parameters on the fluid's capacity to transfer significance. Velocity outline decreases for the greater values of the Deborah number values. The temperature profile improved with an improvement in the Nb parameter, while the opposite trend we noticed on ϕ(ζ). The findings of this study will have advantages in various fields, including transportation operations, architectural design systems, increased oil recovery systems, and medicinal applications that utilize nanofluids.

This study investigates the thermal performance of a solar evacuated tube collector (SETC) using nanoparticles suspended liquid (NSL) as the heat transfer fluid (HTF). The NSL is composed of water with different concentration of TiO2, CuO, Cr2O3, TiO2+CuO+ Cr2O3NSL withaverage size of ~25 nm. The experimental results show that the use of NSL increase the thermal performance of the SETC to be about 2% higher than that of the SETC without NSL. The enhancement in the thermal performance is mainly attributed to the higher thermal conductivity and specific heat capacity of the NSL. In addition, the effects of NSL concentration, flow rate and temperature on the thermal performance of the SETC with NSL were also studied. It was observed that the thermal performance of the SETC with NSL increases with increasing NSL concentration and flow rate but decreases with rise in the temperature. The results of this study can be used to optimize the design of solar evacuated tube collectors using NSL as the HTF for better thermal performance.

Various constitutive models have been proposed to quantify a wide range of non-Newtonian fluids, but there is lack of a systematic classification and evaluation of these competing models, such as the quantitative comparison between the classical integer-order constitutive models and the newly proposed fractional derivative equations for non-Newtonian fluids. This study reviews constitutive equation models for non-Newtonian fluids, including time-independent fluids, viscoelastic fluids, and time-dependent fluids. A comparison between fractional derivative non-Newtonian fluid constitutive equations and traditional constitutive equations is also provided. Results show that the space fractional derivative model is equivalent to some classical constitutive models under reasonable assumptions. Further discussions are made from the perspective of the industrial and biomedical applications of non-Newtonian fluids. Advantages and limitations of the constitutive models are also explored to help users to select proper models for real-world applications.

In this communication, a new stochastic numerical paradigm is introduced for thorough scrutinization of the magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) boundary layer flow of Prandtl–Eyring fluidic model along a stretched sheet impact on thermal radiation as well as convective heating scenarios by exploiting the accurate approximation knacks of ANNs (artificial‐neural‐networks) modeling by using the inverse multiquadric (IMQ) function optimized/trained with well‐reputed global search with genetic algorithms (GAs) and local search efficacy of sequential quadratic programming (SQP), that is, ANNs‐IMQ‐GA‐SQP. The mathematical model of the Prandtl–Eyring fluid flow is portrayed in the form of PDEs and then converted in the form of a nonlinear system of ODEs by utilizing suitable similarity transformation to calculate/analyze the solution dynamics. The kinematic and thermodynamic properties of MHD Prandtl–Eyring fluid flow are examined/observed by varying the sundry physical parameters. The obtained intelligent computing designed solver‐based numerical results are consistently found in good agreement with reference results obtained through the Adams numerical technique. First and second‐order cumulant‐based statistical assessments are extensively exploited to endorse trustily the efficacy of ANNs‐IMQ‐GA‐SQP solver based on exhaustive simulations for the Prandtl–Eyring fluidic system.

Nowadays, with the advantages of nanotechnology and solar radiation, the research of Solar Water Pump (SWP) production has become a trend. In this article, Prandtl–Eyring hybrid nanofluid (P-EHNF) is chosen as a working fluid in the SWP model for the production of SWP in a parabolic trough surface collector (PTSC) is investigated for the case of numerous viscous dissipation, heat radiations, heat source, and the entropy generation analysis. By using a well-established numerical scheme the group of equations in terms of energy and momentum have been handled that is called the Keller-box method. The velocity, temperature, and shear stress are briefly explained and displayed in tables and figures. Nusselt number and surface drag coefficient are also being taken into reflection for illustrating the numerical results. The first finding is the improvement in SWP production is generated by amplification in thermal radiation and thermal conductivity variables. A single nanofluid and hybrid nanofluid is very crucial to provide us the efficient heat energy sources. Further, the thermal efficiency of MoS2–Cu/EO than Cu–EO is between 3.3 and 4.4% The second finding is the addition of entropy is due to the increasing level of radiative flow, nanoparticles size, and Prandtl–Eyring variable.

In this study, we looked at a two-dimensional constant, laminar, and incompressible viscous flow between two porous discs in the presence of an external magnetic field. The proper similarity transformations simplify the complicated governing problem to nonlinear differential equations with suitable velocity slip and other boundary conditions. The Keller-box method, an efficient finite-difference approach, is used to get its solutions. The purpose of this analysis is to investigate the effect of non-zero tangential slip velocity on velocity, temperature profiles, and shear stress for various relevant parameters. The data is then displayed in tables and graphs to examine velocity and temperature profiles for different flow parameters such as Reynolds number, Hartmann number, Prandtl number, and slip coefficient. In the absence of slip, the results were quite similar to previous findings.

This study aims to scrutinize the mathematical formulations of hybrid nanoliquid filled with thermal radiation, Cattaneo-Christov heat theory and melting phenomenon in a nozzle of rocket engine that includes hybrid nanoparticles (CoFe2O4,CdTe,TiO2,Cu&CuO)and kerosene (C12H26−C15H32) utilized as a base fluid. The main governing equations are changed into a system of nonlinear ODEs using the similarity transformations. The outcomes of the transformed equations have been achieved by using the bvp4c method in MATLAB software. Physical flow characteristics are shown against velocity, temperature, and entropy generation profiles. The velocity is declined for the greater values of volume fraction of nanoparticles and melting parameter. The thermal field is declined for the variations of thermal relaxation and melting parameters while boomed for the higher values of Biot number. The entropy generation profile is increased for the greater estimations of Reynolds number and Brinkman parameter. To the best of the researcher's information, no one has previously attempted to characterize melting phenomena and Cattaneo-Chrsitov heat theory applications by studying the flow through a nozzle of rocket engine using (CoFe2O4,CdTe,TiO2,Cu&CuO) hybrid nanoparticles and kerosene (C12H26−C15H32) as a base fluid.

The contribution of viscous dissipation and Joule heating is also inspected. Moreover, the shape effects for the three types of nanoparticles are addressed as a novelty. The mathematical model is developed in view of associated laws and thermal properties of modified hybrid nanofluid. The problem is first modeled in terms of partial differential equations for which the similarity variables are followed to convert the system into dimensionless form. The Keller box numerical scheme is used to obtain the solution. The thermo-physical properties of nanoparticles and fluctuation in the heat transfer rate are reported for the flow parameters. The results claimed that the temperature profile enhanced solid volume faction of copper oxide nanoparticles. A lower change in the entropy generation is observed for the solid volume fraction of aluminum oxide and copper nanoparticles.

Steady flow of non-Newtonian nanofluid impinging on a vertical lubricated surface is numerically investigated. The rheological behaviour of the base fluid is characterized by the constitutive equation of third-grade fluid and the power-law fluid model is used for lubricant. Higher-order chemical reaction and nonlinear radiative heat flux are also taken into account. The governing nonlinear partial differential equations are simplified using the Prandtl boundary layer theory and similarity transformations. An efficient and accurate implicit finite difference method is applied to approximate the resulting nonlinear coupled differential equations with complicated boundary conditions for several values of parameters of interest. The velocity, temperature, nanoparticles concentration profiles Nusselt number, and streamlines are illustrated through graphs for full slip and no–slip case as well as assisting and opposing flow cases. The temperature and concentration profiles are also described for linear and non-linear thermal radiation and for different order chemical reactions. The numerical results are compared with the existing literature and found good agreement. It is found that heat and mass transfer rates reduces over the lubricated surface compared with the rough surface.

This investigation, scrutinizes the effects of Stephen blowing on Prandtl nanofluids transportation caused by a stretch in the sheet. The fluid temperature, thermal conductivity due to dispersion of nanoparticles with enhanced is investigated. Cartesian coordinates are used for flow equations. The similarity variables for momentum , temperature and concentration profiles, are utilized to modify the perceptions of governing flow. Nonlinear ODEs are gained from the governing PDEs and cracked down numerically by shooting and Keller box approach. The graphical and numerical sections are viewing the results for the velocity temperature and concentration fields against the independent parameters and non-dimensional numbers. As the boosting the values of material parameters α and βmove opposite on velocity profilef ′ (η) but similar effects of NtandNb are observed on both temperature and concentration profiles. The skin friction − f ′′ (0)is profitable unhappy at the increase values of the Hartman number with the fluctuations in the value of Stephen blowing.(S = − 1, 0, 1). The conflicting behavior of Prandtl and Eckert numbers are detected on temperature profile. Physical explanation of the graphical segment is support to understand the performance of fluids flow.

Nature of carbon nanotubes (CNT’s) mechanical characteristics can only be disclosed through advanced studies. Carbon nanotubes show diverse features in radial and axial directions when studied geometrically. Since CNT’s have two dimensional symmetrical behavior and they are in cylindrical shape, they show strong electrical and thermal conductivity in base fluid. In order to develop energy equation, such characteristics must be kept in view, we nominate the heat flux model of Catteneo-Christov. Carbon nanotubes of singlewall and multiwall are analyzed and compared in base fluid of water. Cylindrical coordinates are used in mathematical formulation and modeling for the flow equations to be converted to partial differential equations. For solution and study of fluid equations shooting method and Keller box scheme are used. Our computations resulted in an increase in fluid temperature due to thermal relaxation time, while fluid temperature decreases with an increases in Prandtl number. Further more, porosity also has fluid velocity as its decreasing function. The results are displayed through tables and graphs.

In this work, the rheological behavior of MWCNT-Al2O3 (10:90)/5W50 nanofluid is investigated. This nanofluid is prepared with various volume fractions of nanoparticles (φ)in the laboratory. By studying variations of viscosity at different φ, T, and shear rates (γ̇), it is found that the nanofluid has a non-Newtonian nature, which causes the γ̇to play a significant role in its rheological behavior. Hence, a novel correlation for viscosity as a three-variable function is obtained. Investigation of the variations of viscosity with the three variables also apparently reveals that variations of viscosity with γ̇at lower temperatures is much higher than its variation at higher temperatures. Thus, in higher temperatures and φ, viscosity to a great extent can be considered independent of γ̇. Moreover, the accuracy of the proposed correlation is examined and sensitivity of viscosity to the 10 % variation in φ, for three different γ̇, is analyzed. It is found that at higher temperatures and φ, viscosity is severely sensitive to small variations of φand it blows up suddenly.

This paper addresses the peristaltic flow phenomenon for non-Newtonian Jeffrey fluid inside an asymmetric channel subject to large magnetic field. The governing boundary value problem is approximated under the long wavelengths and small Reynolds number assumptions. Asymptotic approximation of the boundary value problem is made for large magnetic field. The resulting differential equation turns out to be singular boundary value problem which is solved for the velocity field using asymptotic analysis and higher order matching technique. The boundary layer regions are determined where the magnetic field dominates the viscous force. The main objective of this study is to discuss the different situations arising in analytical solutions calculated with the help of asymptotic analysis, under the effects of strong and weak magnetic field. The strong magnetic field gives rise to Hartmann boundary layer, which is investigated analytically to understand the role of magnetic field on the velocity filed in the boundary layer regions for peristalsis transport of rheological fluids in channels. It is noticed that the boundary layer velocity has inverse relation with the magnetic field parameter. Another significant consequence of this study is to reduce the boundary layer by employing strong magnetic field and that the velocity in the core of the channel due to peristalsis becomes uniform. The outcomes of magnetic field in peristaltic motion for Jeffrey fluid can be helpful in understanding the transport phenomena in human physiological systems.

In this paper, we explore the characteristics of heat transfer and fluid flow of hybrid nanofluid enclosed in a horizontal channel with cavity having an obstacle. The dimensionless governing partial equations for various physical parameters are simulated via higher order and stable Galerkin based finite element method. In particular, the higher order and stable finite element pair, ¶2/¶1 is utilized for the discretization of the modelled partial differential equations. The discretised system of nonlinear algebraic equations are linearized with the help of Newton's method and the resulting linear problems are computed with the help of geometric multi-grid techniques. Effective governing parameters such as Reynolds number, cylinder rotation, aspect ratio of cavity and the impact of variance in cylinder radius on the heat transfer and fluid flow are analyzed in detail. Moreover, the computation of hydrodynamic forces such as drag and lift coefficients on the obstacle, are also analyzed in this paper. It is shown that by increasing the radius of the obstacle the heat transfer in the channel is enhanced up to 119%. Furthermore, horizontal position of cylinder only contributes a heat transfer efficacy of 2.54%.
