Analysis of nanomodels for nanofluid flow over a curved region with MXene (Ti₃C₂)

2-D MXene has captured widespread interest across various disciplines due to its high surface area, exceptional electrical conductivity, and customizable physical and thermal properties. This work examines the role of Xue and Hamilton-Crosser nanomodels in augmenting the thermal conductivity of water-based MXene nanofluid stream past a curved region with a transpiration effect. A mathematical model is developed that considers the magnetic field, thermal radiation, and Ohmic heating effects. Further, it is solved numerically using appropriate similarity transformation. The flow and heat outcomes are unveiled through graphic and tabular illustrations. The study shows that a higher Brinkmann number leads to greater viscous dissipation, increasing fluid temperature. Additionally, it has been observed that the temperature resulting from the Xue ideal is higher when compared with the Hamilton-Crosser ideal.
