MHD mixed convection flow for Maxwell Hybrid nanofluid with Soret, Dufour and Morphology effects

We have investigated the two-dimensional mixed convective Maxwell hybrid nanofluid boundary layer mass and heat flows over a linearly stretching porous surface with the applied external magnetic flux. Thermal radiations along with the Dufour and Soret effects are also incorporated. The governing model of partial differential equations (PDE) is altered into ordinary differential equations (ODE) with an appropriate similarity transformation. The finite difference-based numerical method BVP4c is applied to solve the system of nonlinear ODEs. The flow features and the heat transfer characteristics have been illustrated with graphical representations and a numerical table. For varied values of the flow-related variables, organized and graphical data for the Nusselt number and skin friction coefficient are indicated. In most cases, spherical-shaped nanoparticles have a better influence on stream function, velocity and temperature distributions. This behavior is the opposite of the mass concentration profile. It has been observed that stream function decreases as increase the value of the magnetic field but opposite for mass concentration distribution and temperature profile. The temperature gradient is enhanced as a result of stronger convective flow when Soret number Sr values increase, which causes the boundary layer thickness to grow. A comparative study of hybrid nanofluid and nanofluid showed that the hybrid nanofluid has superior shear stress/skin friction and Sherwood number/surface mass flux than nanofluid flow.
