Slip and Induced Magnetic Field Effects on Tangential Hyperbolic Hybrid Nanofluid over a Stretching Wedge with Nonuniform Heat Source

Abstract

Hybrid nanofluid flow analyses have obtained a lot of attention due to their
usefulness as coolants in hybrid electric vehicles, health care, thermal exchange
systems, cancer thermo-therapy, nuclear reactors, microfluidics, aerospace,
acoustics, naval structures and power generation in power plants, This research
investigated the impacts of slip and induced magnetic field effects on tangential
hyperbolic hybrid nanofluid over a stretching wedge with non-uniform heat
source. The nanoparticles used in this work are aluminum oxide (Al2O3) and
copper (Cu) while water is the based fluid. The fluid flow are modelled as partial
differential equations (PDEs). These are transformed to their corresponding
ordinary forms (ODEs), which are solved by the homotopy analysis technique with
the aid of similarity variables. The impact of prominent physical factors on fluid
temperature, velocity, induced magnetic field, local Nusselt number and drag
coefficient is explored. Tables and graphs are used to display the results which
agreed with the existing ones in the literature.
