Mathematical Simulation for Energy Transfer in a Couple Stress Ternary Hybrid Nanofluid Flow Passing through a 3D Surface, Considering the Impact of MHD and Viscous Dissipation
Mathematical modeling reveals heat transfer dynamics in ternary hybrid nanofluid flow, suggesting optimization strategies for advanced thermal systems.
Key Points
The research aims to mathematically model and simulate heat transfer in couple stress ternary hybrid nanofluid flow over a 3D surface with MHD and viscous dissipation considerations.
Developed mathematical model with governing nonlinear partial differential equations (NLPDEs) for the flow and heat transfer.
Transformed equations into ordinary differential equations (NLODEs) using similarity transformations.
Applied the Homotopy Analysis Method for semi-numerical solutions.
Analyzed the effects of magnetic field strength, couple stress parameter, nanoparticle volume fractions, Casson parameter, Darcy porous parameter, and Eckert number.
Increasing Darcy's and couple stress parameters and the MHD parameter decreased the velocity field.
Higher nanoparticle volume fractions positively influenced heat transfer rates.
Eckert number and MHD parameter enhancements correlated with increased heat transfer rates.
