Buoyancy effects on Darcy-Forchheimer flow of thermally radiated hybrid SiO₂-TiO₂/CH₃OH nanofluid

A wide range of thermal transfer applications from an engineering perspective are greatly beneficial from the thermophysical characteristics of hybrid nanofluids. Hybrid nanofluids are an important innovation that may speed up current developments in engineering fields because the transportation of energy mainly depends on the volume concentrations of nanoparticles and thermal conductivity. Therefore, the objective of this investigation is to conduct the numerical analysis for thermal transport characteristics of hybrid nanofluid on the dynamics of methanol-based Darcy-Forchheimer flow conveying silica and titania nanoparticles. Thus, a nonlinear mathematical model is computed to analyze the flow and energy transport rate, which is tackled numerically through the MATLAB function. The captured findings have been shown graphically, and some intriguing features were discovered. According to the findings of the present study, methanol-based hybrid nanomaterial shows a promising increase in heat transfer rate. Furthermore, as suction strength increases, surface drag force and thermal transportation increase while due to the nanoparticle interaction tend to decline and widen the porous shrinking regions range. The higher values of the porosity parameter enhance the flow field for an upper solution but decay for a lower solution. Additionally, for the heat source parameter, the fluid temperature exhibits accelerating behavior for both solutions.
