Abstract

A computational analysis of magnetized hybrid Darcy-Forchheimer nanofluid flow across a flat surface is presented in this work. For the study of heat and mass transfer aspects viscous dissipation, activation energy, Joule heating, thermal radiation, and heat generation effects are considered. The suspension of nanoparticles singlewalled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) and multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) are created by hybrid nanofluids. However, single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) produce nanofluids, with water acting as conventional fluid, respectively. Nonlinear partial differential equations (PDEs) that describe the ultimate flow are converted to nonlinear ordinary differential equations (ODEs) using appropriate similarity transformation. The ODEs are dealt with numerically by means of MATLAB’s inbuilt routine function bvp4c. Velocity, temperature, and concentration profiles are explained pictorially whereas Sherwood number, local skin friction coefficient, and Nusselt number values are represented through bar charts. Thermal radiation and activation parameters shows direct impact on flow field. Furthermore, hybrid nanofluid admits a higher magnitude of velocity and temperature than nanofluid, but the concentration profile exhibits the opposite trend. The notable findings of the present investigation have significant applications in heat combustion and cooling chambers, space technology, the ceramics industry, paint and conductive coatings, bio-sensors, and many more.
