Analytical approach for the unsteady MHD hybrid nanofluid flow in a permeable medium with ramped wall temperature

Abstract

The current investigation deal with the time-dependent MHD flow of hybrid nanofluid through vertical ramped wall temperature. Additionally, the electrically conducting nanofluid equipped with a transverse magnetic field through a permeable medium is carried out with the interaction of heat radiation and the external heat source to enhance the thermal properties. Due to the recent need for industrial applications, the augmentation in the thermal transport properties such as cooling of electronic devices, refrigerator cooling, etc. and the biological applications i.e. blood flow through an artery, drug delivery processes, peristaltic pumping process, etc. the use of hybrid nanofluid has an important role. The proposed design model is transformed to ordinary for the implementation of similarity rules and the transformed problem is handled analytically using Laplace transform technique. The analysis for the characterising parameters is obtained and presented through graphs and the simulated results of the rate coefficients are deployed via the tabular form. Finally, the important outcomes of the study are; that nanoparticle concentration has a vital role to resists fluid motion with the combined effect of resistive forces such as magnetic field and permeability further it is observed that, enhanced nanoparticle concentration overshoots the fluid concentration significantly.
