Effects of Thermophoretic and Brownian Forces on Hybrid Nanofluid Flow Dynamics and Thermal Transfer Across Porous Stretching Sheet under Magnetic Influence

This interesting analysis takes into consideration the characteristics of heat and mass transfer of silver and alumina nanoparticles in base fluid water across an extending sheet, that is, permeable with slip effects, Brownian motion, MHD effect, and thermophoresis. This remarkable study, which has not yet been discussed by any author, examines the phenomena of mass and heat flux of hybrid nanofluid by combining slip and convective conditions. Furthermore, the behaviors of relevant parameters are taken into account, including Brownian motion, thermophoretic diffusion, joule heating, activation energy, viscous dissipation, and thermal radiation. A hybrid nanofluid is made by mixing silver and alumina nanoparticles with the base fluid water. The flow model is written in the form of PDEs, which are then solved by bvp4c to become ODEs through the appropriate transformation. The obtained result illustrates that the heat transfer rate and temperature distribution of the fluid escalates with sundry parameters of thermal radiation. It is found that hybrid nanoparticles show better results than nanofluids.
