ABSTRACT
In this article, the physical aspects of magnetohydrodynamic convective flow and heat transfer of TiO2–Al2O3/ethylene glycol–water hybrid base nanofluid inside a porous enclosure under the impact of shape factor, Lorentz forces, thermal radiation has been analysed using Finite Element Method. Darcy model is chosen for porous media. The influence of variable, different parameters like Hartmann number (Ha), radiation parameter (Rd), volume fraction (φ), and buoyancy forces (Ra) on streamlines, temperature gradient and Nusselt number are exemplified quantitatively through graphs. Outputs demonstrate that inverse relevance among magnetic forces and temperature gradient, it causes to reduce Nuave for larger (Ha) number. Lamina shape nanoparticle has a greater impact on increasing Nuave compared to other shape factors.
