Abstract Current developments in magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) convection and nanofluid engineering technology have have greatly enhanced heat transfer performance in process systems, particularly through the use of carbon nanotube (CNT)–based fluids that offer exceptional thermal conductivity. Despite extensive research on MHD natural convection in enclosures, the combined effects of complex obstacle geometries, magnetic fields, and CNT nanofluids in three-dimensional configurations remain insufficiently explored. This research investigates MHD natural convection of carbon nanotube (CNT)-water nanofluid within a three-dimensional cavity. The study considers an inclined cross-shaped hot obstacle, a configuration not extensively explored in previous works. The work aims… More >

Abstract Magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) radiative chemically reactive mixed convection flow of a hybrid nanofluid (Al₂O₃–Cu/H₂O) across an inclined, porous, and stretched sheet is examined in this study, along with its unsteady heat and mass transport properties. The hybrid nanofluid’s enhanced heat transfer efficiency is a major benefit in high-performance engineering applications. It is composed of two separate nanoparticles suspended in a base fluid and is chosen for its improved thermal properties. Thermal radiation, chemical reactions, a transverse magnetic field, surface stretching with time, injection or suction through the porous medium, and the effect of inclination, which introduces gravity-induced… More >
