Flow Study of a Power-Law Hybrid Nanofluid Using Spectral Method: Local Non-Similarity Approach
摘要
This article describes the study of a power-law hybrid nanofluid with truncated cone as a geometry in a non-Darcy porous medium. The aqueous Titanium alloy (Ti6Al4V) with multi wall Carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) is taken as hybrid nanofluid. An efficient algorithm involving approach of local non-similarity and spectral local linearization method (SLLM), is incorporated to deal with the modified flow equations subject to the associated boundary conditions. An error analysis is established to display SLLM convergence. The insertion of nanoparticle volume fraction makes temperature of the system higher because of greater thermal conductivity of nanoparticles. Rate of heat transfer along with skin friction coefficient for this flow over truncated cone are observed between full cone and vertical plate.
