Simultaneous results for unsteady flow of MHD hybrid nanoliquid above a flat/slendering surface.

Mabood, Fazle; Ashwinkumar, G. P.; Sandeep, N.

The pivotal aim of this research is to address the boundary layer analysis of two-dimensional unsteady hybrid nanofluid flow over a flat/slendering stretching surface. Thermal radiation and magnetohydrodynamic analysis are featured in this work. The transformed nonlinear ordinary differential equations are resolved using Runge–Kutta–Fehlberg technique. Then, a complete discussion of the influences of the flow regime on several thermofluidic parameters is presented. The significant outcome of the current investigation is that the increment in magnetic field and nanoparticle volume fraction parameters declines the skin friction. Furthermore, it is shown that when the radiation and the nanoparticle volume fraction are improved, the heat transfer rate triggers considerable evolution. The obtained results of this model closely match with those available in the literature as a limiting situation.
