Flow analysis of MHD ternary hybrid nanofluid over a permeable wedge with variable surface temperature and slip effect

Abstract

A comparative flow analysis of a water based- ternary hybrid nanofluid has been studied in this article over a moving permeable wedge in the presence of variable wedge surface temperature. The model has been developed keeping in mind magnetic, velocity slip, buoyancy, and suction effects. The primary nanoparticle was Nimonic 80A, (Formula presented.) being the secondary nanoparticle and Graphene Oxide ((Formula presented.)) ternary nanoparticle. The velocity, temperature, heat transfer rate, and shear drag profiles for various parametric values of the magnetic parameter ((Formula presented.)), velocity ratio parameter (Formula presented.) velocity slip parameter (Formula presented.) buoyancy parameter (Formula presented.) and suction parameter (Formula presented.) was investigated. MATLAB bvp4c code was utilized for obtaining the numerical results by solving the nondimensional differential equations obtained using similarity transformations. All the results and graphs were formulated after a positive outcome of our results with that available in existing literature. An increase in the velocity slip parameter (Formula presented.) and velocity ratio parameter (Formula presented.) resulted in an increase in velocity profiles and local Nusselt number graphs while a reverse trend was observed for temperature and skin friction profiles. Also, the velocity graphs faced an increase by 0.09% with an increment in (Formula presented.) to (Formula presented.) The present study finds its extensive applications in medical industries, water heaters, and forging of hot exhaust valve heads.
