Mixed convection and thermally radiative hybrid nanofluid flow over a curved surface

Abstract

This study explored the Darcy Forchheimer flow of Casson hybrid nanofluid (NF) via a persistently stretching curved surface. The Darcy-Forchheimer contribution articulates viscous fluid flow in permeable media. Hybrid nanofluids are made from carbon nanotubes (CNTs) having a cylindrical shape and iron ferrite nanoparticulate. The main equations are reorganized into non-dimensional ODEs via similarity replacement. To accomplish the analytic simulation of modeled equations, the “Homotopy analysis approach” is performed. The effects of flow factors on velocity and energy profiles have been tabulated and discussed. It has been noticed that the integration of iron ferrite and CNT nanoparticulate in the base fluid to control the coolant level in industrial apparatus is quite useful. The energy field ascension effect is helpful for industrial uses since the energy fields exhibit favorable behavior against rising values of both type of nanomaterials. The Casson constraint’s rising values decline the hybrid NF motion.
