Numerical Examination of a Squeezing Casson Hybrid Nanofluid Flow Considering Thermophoretic and Internal Heating Mechanisms

Abstract

One of the main areas of study in the field is increasingly the flow of non-Newtonian fluids. These liquids find extensive use in nuclear reactors, food processing, paint and adhesives, drilling rigs, and cooling systems, among other industrial and engineering domains. However, hybrid nanofluids are crucial to the process of heat transfer. Considering this, this study investigates the motion of a Casson hybrid nanofluid squeezing flow between two parallel plates under the influence of a heat source and thermophoretic particle deposition. The Runge–Kutta–Fehlberg fourth–fifth-order approach is utilized to numerically solve the ordinary differential equations derived from the partial differential equations governing fluid flow, by utilizing suitable similarity variables. The diagrams show how several important parameters affect fluid profiles both with and without the Casson parameter. These figures demonstrate how fluid velocity increases as the local porosity parameter increases. When the heat source/sink parameter is increased, thermal dispersal increases, and when the thermophoretic parameter is increased, the concentration profile increases.
