Darcy-forchheimer MHD hybrid nanofluid flow and heat transfer analysis over a porous stretching cylinder

Abstract

This research work deals with investigation of the thermal characteristics of the Darcy-Forchheimer hydromagnetic hybrid nanofluid (Al2O3-Cu/H2O) flow through a permeable stretching cylinder. The model equations, which consist of continuity, momentum, and energy equations, are converted to a set of coupled ordinary differential equations through similarity variables transformations and appropriate boundary conditions. Brownian motion and Thermophoresis effects are mainly focused in this work. The impacts of some interesting parameters over velocity, temperature, and concentrations profiles are graphically studied. The present study will be helpful in understanding the thermal characteristics of heat transfer liquids.
