Exploring the role of inclined magnetic field in water-based hybrid nanofluid flow containing copper and alumina nanoparticles over a convectively heated surface: a numerical investigation
摘要
In this analysis, a numerical investigation of hybrid nanofluid flow composed of copper and alumina nanoparticles over an extending sheet is deliberated. The sheet surface is assumed to be heated by considering the convective condition, and there is no mass flow at the sheet surface by assuming the zero flux of mass constraints. The modeled ordinary differential equations, which are obtained by transforming the partial differential equations using suitable similarity variables, are evaluated numerically by adopting the bvp4c scheme. The main theme of this analysis is to investigate the applications of an inclined magnetic field toward the hybrid nanofluid flow over a convectively heated surface. The results obtained from this analysis show that the dragging force at the sheet’s surface has been greatly increased by the magnetic factor and angle of inclination. Additionally, the angle of inclination greatly influenced the heat transfer rate, temperature, and concentration distributions when α = 900 as compared to α < 900.
