A semi-analytical solution of the magnetohydrodynamic blood-based ternary hybrid nanofluid flow over a convectively heated bidirectional stretching surface under velocity slip conditions

Abstract

This work inspects the thermal transportation of the magnetohydrodynamic Casson trihybrid nanofluid flow over a convectively heated bidirectional elongating sheet. The flow is considered as three dimensional passing over the sheet, which is placed in a porous medium. The effects of thermal radiations and space- and thermal-dependent heat sources are used in energy equations, while magnetic effects are used in momentum equations. Appropriate variables have been used to convert the modeled equations into a dimensionless form, which have then been solved using the homotopy analysis method. In this work, it is uncovered that both the primary and secondary velocities are weakened with an upsurge in porosity and magnetic factors. The thermal transportation is augmented with growth in thermal- and space-dependent heat source factors and the thermal Biot number. The convergence of the method used in this work is ensured through ℏ-curves. The results of this investigation have also been compared with the existing literature with a fine agreement among all the results that ensured the validation of the model and method used in this work.
