MHD Maxwell Hybrid Nanofluid Transport Featuring Solar Radiation and Thermo‐Diffusive Impacts Over a Permeable Slanted Stretching Sheet

Abstract

ABSTRACT Hybrid nanofluids have emerged as next‐generation working fluids for advanced engineering application due to their superior heat transport capability in relation to the conventional nanofluids. Motivated by the rising demand for accurate prediction of transport phenomena under realistic operating situations, the present study examines the magnetohydrodynamic flow and thermal behavior of Maxwell hybrid nanofluid over a permeable slanted stretching sheet with Joule heating, thermal source, viscous heating, thermal radiation, thermo‐diffusion, and chemical reactions. In this analysis, hybrid nanofluid was synthesized by uniformly dispersing and nanoparticles in the ethylene glycol base fluid. The cylindrical shaped nanoparticles are examined, as it has evidenced to be excellent for thermal efficiency of nanomaterials. To accomplish model intention, the Keller‐box numerical approach has been executed to simulate the final ODEs of the problem via MATLAB. The ultimate results of this research uncovered that velocity field decreased with the Maxwell parameter, nanoparticle concentration, and angle inclination, but it was increased with thermal source, thermo‐diffusion and radiation impacts. An execution of magnetic field and suction caused to decelerate flow speed of the fluid is noticeable in the study. The inclusion of solar radiation, thermal source, and viscous heating in the flow is to enhance the temperature for both nanofluid and hybrid nanofluids that serves the purpose. The concentration field reduced with greater suction effects and chemical reaction but it was higher with thermo‐diffusion effect. The skin friction raised with Maxwell parameter, thermal radiation, and thermal source, whereas it was diminished with suction, magnetic, and thermo‐diffusion effects. Heat transfer rate at the surface decreased with Maxwell parameter and magnetic field, whereas reverse propensity was noted with suction and thermal source. Likewise, mass transfer rate lowered with Maxwell and chemical reaction parameters but thermo‐diffusion influence caused to rise it. Remarkably, the higher percentage of heat transference rate is measured for hybrid nanofluid than the nanofluid owing to the unified enhancement of thermal conductivity and improved energy transport mechanism.
