Numerical solution for the electrically conducting hybrid nanofluid flow between two parallel rotating surfaces subject to thermal radiation

Abstract

In the current analysis, the steady and incompressible magnetohydrodynamics hybrid nanofluid (hnf) flow across two spinning permeable surfaces is studied. The hybrid nanoliquid has been examined under the additional effects of heat source, magnetic field, and Arrhenius activation energy. The hnf is synthesized by the dispersion of silicon dioxide and molybdenum disulfide nanoparticles in ethylene glycol. The flow scenario has been communicated in the form of a system of nonlinear Partial Differential Equations (PDEs), which are degraded and dimensionless to a set of nonlinear ordinary differential equations through appropriate similarity replacement. For the solution of reduced first-order differential equations, a numerical technique is employed. The consequences of physical flow parameters on energy, mass, and velocity profiles are shown through figures. It has been observed that the radial velocity profile increases with the influence of the suction factor and decreases with the effect of surface stretching and the rotation factor. The heat transmission rate increases with the impact of the Reynolds number.
