Non-uniform energy source / sink influence on magneto-convective 􀜥􀝀􀜶􀝁 and 􀜥/􀜪􀬶􀜱 suspended Williamson fluid model: Computational approach

Abstract

The recent advances in nanotechnology have enabled the creation of hybrid-class nanofluids with superior thermal properties when compared to normal nanofluids. The dominant characteristics of hybrid nanofluids, such as rapid heat transfer rates, superior electrical and thermal conductivity, and cheap cost, have effectively piqued the interest of worldwide researchers. The current study examines the effects of energy transfer dynamics on a non-Newtonian fluid model suspended hybrid nanoparticles consisting of cadmium telluride (􀜥􀝀􀜶􀝁) and graphite (􀜥) particles with water as base fluid under magnetic effects. The rheological impact and base fluid characterisation are determined using the Williamson fluid model. The impact of various flow affecting parameters on the momentum, temperature along with wall drag force and heat transfer rate is computed and studied in detail with the streamline portray. It is possible to compare the numerical results using the Keller box (finite differences) method with the help of MATLAB programming. The hybrid nanofluid cadmium telluride and graphite (􀜥􀝀􀜶􀝁 + 􀜥/􀜪􀬶􀜱) has superior thermal conductivity than the nanofluids(􀜥􀝀􀜶􀝁 􀝋􀝎 􀜥), according to the data, which are presented in graph form. The numerical solutions for Nusselt number, velocity profile, skin friction coefficient, temperature profiles have been represented with the help of graphs.
