Thermally Dissipative Flow and Entropy Analysis for Electromagnetic Trihybrid Nanofluid Flow Past a Stretching Surface

The growth of hybrid nanofluids can be connected to their enhanced thermal performance as pertains to the dynamics of automobile coolant among others. In addition to that, the thermal characteristics of water-based nanofluids carrying three different types of nanoparticles are incredible. Keeping in view this new idea, the current investigation explores ternary hybrid nanofluid flow over a stretching sheet. Joule heating and viscous dissipation are addressed in the heat equation. Three distinct kinds of nanoparticles, namely, magnesium oxide, copper, and MWCNTs, are suspended in water to form a ternary hybrid nanofluid with the combination MgO-Cu-MWCNTs-H2O. To stabilize the flow of the ternary hybrid nanofluid, transverse magnetic and electric fields have been considered in the fluid model. The production of entropy has been analyzed for the modeled problem. A comparative study for ternary, hybrid, and traditional nanofluids has also been carried out by sketching statistical charts. The equations that govern the problem are shifted to dimension-free format by employing transformable variables, and then they are solved by the homotopy analysis method (HAM). It has been revealed in this work that the flow of fluid opposes by magnetic parameter and supports by electric field the volumetric fraction of ternary hybrid nanofluid, while thermal profiles are gained by the growing values of these parameters. Boosting values of the electric field, magnetic parameters, and Eckert number support the Bejan number and oppose the production of entropy. Statistically, it has been established in this work that a ternary hybrid nanofluid has a higher thermal conductivity than hybrid or traditional nanofluids.
