Analysis of chemical characteristics of engine‐oil‐based Prandtl hybrid nanofluid flow

Abstract The literature showed that an empirical experiment creates another part of exploration that has been made in the field of thermal science, such that today, modern researchers are more directed to utilize hybrid types of nanoparticles due to their efficient thermal conductivity compared to single nanoparticles. The study of the hybrid flow of nanofluid is essential in many scientific and industrial arguments, such as power generation, medical equipment, oil refineries, and so forth. Furthermore, it has distinctive features to advance the expertise of their energy sources and cooling methodologies. Incentives by this research postulation: The significant objective of this investigation is to design a mathematical model of Prandtl hybrid nano liquid flow over a Riga plate when nanoparticles of aluminum alloys (AA7072 and AA7075) are suspended in engine oil. Mixed convection, activation energy, and heat radiation are also considered. The nanomaterial is modeled using a modified Buongiorno model that considers the functional qualities of hybrid nanofluids. The simulated PDEs are converted into a collection of nonlinear ODEs with appropriate and relevant similarity transformations, which are numerically addressed using finite‐difference‐oriented bvp4c procedure in MATLAB. Graphs and tables are used to evaluate and show the impacts of different factors on velocity, temperature, concentration fields, skin friction number, and Nusselt number. The velocity profile develops with the enhancement of Prandtl fluid parameters. With the increment in the magnetic parameter, both temperature and concentration profiles improve, but in the case of the Brownian motion parameter, the concentration profile declines. In terms of heat transfer, hybrid nanofluids outperform ordinary nanofluids. The current results provide an equitable contrast against the results that already exist.
