Model-based comparative study of magnetohydrodynamics unsteady hybrid nanofluid flow between two infinite parallel plates with particle shape effects

摘要

The present study examines the impact of unsteady viscous flow in a squeezing channel. Silver-gold hybrid nanofluid particles with different shapes are inserted in the base fluid engine oil. Flow and heat transfer mechanism is detected in the presence of magnetohydrodynamics between the two parallel infinite plates. The thermal conductivity models, that is, Yamada-Ota and Hamilton-Crosser models are used to investigate various shapes (Blade, platelet, cylinder, and brick) of hybrid nanoparticles. The model is made up of paired high nonlinear partial differential equations that are then transformed into ordinary differential equations which are coupled and strong nonlinear using the boundary layer approximation. The MATLAB solver bvp4c package is used to solve the numerical solution of this coupled system. The influence of different parameters on the physical quantities is addressed via graphs. A comparison with already reported results is given in order to confirm the current findings. The analysis shows that surprisingly the Yamada-Ota model of the Hybrid nanofluid gains high temperature and velocity profile than the Hamilton-Crosser model of the hybrid nanofluid. Also, both the models show increasing trends toward increasing the volume fraction rate of silver-gold hybrid nanoparticles. It is also inferred that the hybrid-nanoparticles performance is far better than the common nanofluids.
