Abstract

All previously published data on the dynamics of ethylene glycol conveying copper and gold nanoparticles over a convective surface, nothing is known about the importance of dual branch solutions. Hybrid nanofluids improve the thermal conductivity of the fluid. The nanoparticles copper and gold having ethylene glycol as a base fluid are used here. The flow problem is described over a stretching/shrinking surface with the influence of Ohmic heating, non-linear radiation, and a convectively heated surface. Furthermore, the magnetic field strength is applied perpendicular to the direction of the flow. To control the fluid, flow-governing equations are numerically solved by using bvp4c, a built-in approach in MATLAB. For hybrid nanomaterials, the consequence of different physical parameters is discussed graphically and with tabular data. A comparison with previous findings reveals that the present findings are in good agreement. The results revealed that the coefficient of skin friction for the physically stable branch declines over a certain range of shrinking parameters; nonetheless, for the unstable branch, the reverse pattern is discovered. The magnetic force diminishes the flow field and energy dispersion in the upper branch but improves it in the lower branch.

1 Introduction

In industries, heat transfer is used in a wide range of applications to lower and raise temperatures. The conditions for energy exchange in a system are provided by heat transfer fluids, and the effects of these fluids depend on their physical characteristics, including thermal conductivity, viscosity, density, and heat capacity. The low thermal conductivity of typical fluids such as water, ethylene glycol, or oil cannot achieve significant heat exchange rates in thermal engineering equipment. To overcome this barrier, ultrafine solid particles contained in ordinary fluids can be used to improve their thermal conductivity. A nanofluid is defined as a suspension of nano-sized particles in a regular base fluid. In the formulation of the nanofluids, usually metals, carbon nanotubes, and carbides as nanoparticles are utilized. The metal nanoparticles incorporate gold and silver while copper oxide, zinc oxide, and aluminum oxide are included into the category of oxide nanoparticles. In comparison to suspensions with millimeter- or micrometer-sized particles, nanofluids exhibit greater stability, rheological characteristics, and significantly higher thermal conductivities [1]. In modern technology, the use of nanofluids is to promote system miniaturization by lowering particle clogging. Numerous researchers have recently examined, both experimentally and theoretically, how nanofluids can improve heat transmission in thermal engineering devices. In order to calculate the thermophysical properties of nanofluids, researchers have used a range of preparation techniques, features, and models. Choi [2] developed the idea of nanofluids by suggesting that nanoparticles be suspended in a base fluid. Following that, several researchers studied the heat transport of a nanofluid for various aspects, either experimentally or numerically. For instance, Tiwari and Das [3] reported their work on the mathematical models of nanofluids. The efficiency of particle micromixing in heavy metal reduction procedures under different inlet conditions was covered by Karvelas et al. [4]. Benos et al. [5] discussed the theoretical model for natural convection of the CNT–water nanofluid flow that incorporates the revised Hamilton–Crosser model. Kouz et al. [6] presented the analysis of the heat transfer and entropy generation of a water–Fe3O4/CNT hybrid magnetic nanofluid flow in a trapezoidal wavy enclosure with porous media. Song et al. [7] considered a convectively heated vertical surface to examine the nanofluid influenced by a haphazard motion with the Buongiorno model. The hydromagnetic flow phenomenon of the Casson nanofluid with the involvement of an exponentially shrunk sheet was scrutinized by Ishtiaq and Nadeem [8]. Many researchers have used the Tiwari–Das nanofluid model to examine many aspects of the flow, including in Ref. [926].

Thermal radiation’s effect on heat transfer is becoming increasingly significant in the design of modern energy conversion systems that operate at high temperatures. Furthermore, thermal radiation is used to solve a wide range of technological difficulties, including combustion, nuclear reactor safety, solar collectors, and furnace design. A nanofluid has distinct features than either particles or the base fluid, so studying the effects of thermal radiation on the flow and heat transfer characteristics in a nanofluid has garnered a lot of attention. Due to this fact, numerous researchers have investigated the effects of thermal radiation on the flow, heat transfer, and other different features in a nanofluid. In a single-phase model, Hady et al. [27] investigated the boundary layer viscous flow and heat transfer properties of a nanofluid across a nonlinearly stretching sheet in the presence of thermal radiation. Mahanthesh et al. [28] investigated the radiative flow of the water-based nanofluid over a convectively heated surface. Shoaib et al. [29] numerically investigated the rotational flow of the magnetized hybrid nanofluid with radiation effects across a stretching sheet. Mabood et al. [30] discussed the irreversibility analysis in hybrid nanomaterials with nonlinear thermal radiation and melting heat transfer. Jamaludin et al. [31] explored the stagnation-point flow of a nanofluid due to a stretching/shrinking surface in the existence of thermal radiation, suction, and a heat source/sink. The comparative analysis for the radiative flow of hybrid nanomaterials and nanomaterials in a permeable porous medium was performed by Yasir et al. [32]. Very recently, Yasir et al. [33] further explored the dynamics of ethylene glycol transporting copper and titania nanoparticles on a curved object in the presence of nonlinear thermal radiation and a heat source/sink. The interesting articles that depend on heat transport through nanoparticles are in Ref. [3444].

The existing examination is being held out to explore the radiative stagnation-point flow of hybrid nanomaterials subject to a permeable shrinking surface. As evidenced by the literature, investigation of the hybrid nanofluid stagnation-point flow is uncommon. In this scenario, gold and copper are mixed into the ethylene glycol base fluid to formulate a hybrid nanofluid that implements a stagnation-point flow mechanism on a shrinking sheet. Furthermore, the association between the aligned magnetic field and wall suction was scrutinized. The shooting technique was used to solve the resulting nonlinear ordinary differential equations, and the solution was calculated in terms of velocity, temperature, local Nusselt number, and skin friction coefficient, all of which are dictated by relevant flow parameters. In our perspective, we have extremely competitively investigated this problem. The several originalities of the current analysis are emphasized as follows:

  • (a) To efficiently manage the flow, the boundary layer separation points for various control parameters are shown.

  • (b) It is observed that the suitable amount of control parameters improved the rates of skin friction and heat transfer.

  • (c) What is the consequence of gold and copper nanoparticles on the thermal conductivity of ethylene glycol over a shrinking surface?

2 Mathematical formulation

In the presence of a porous medium, the magnetized flow of a hybrid nanofluid over a permeable shrinking surface is considered. The physical coordinate system is depicted in Figure 1, where the x − axis is measured along the surface and the y − axis is normal to it. The hypothesis is that the velocity of the shrinking surface is and the free-stream velocity is . Furthermore, the surface temperature is Tw, while the ambient hybrid nanomaterial temperature is T. Tiwari and Das’ mathematical nanofluid model was used in this study. To investigate the thermal transport of a hybrid nanofluid, Ohmic heating and viscous dissipation with nonlinear thermal radiation over a convectively heated surface are taken into account.

The model equations for hybrid nanomaterials are as follows:

The related boundary conditions are as follows:where v and u symbolize the hybrid nanomaterial velocity components along the y and x directions, respectively. T is the fluid temperature, vw signifies the velocity mass flux, and the radiative heat flux qr is defined as follows:in which k∗ symbolizes the Stefan–Boltzmann constant and σ∗ represents the mean absorption coefficient.

3 Graphical analysis

This study’s objectives include the following: (i) investigating the effects of relevant parameters on the flow and heat transfer; (ii) detecting the existence of dual solutions; and (iii) verifying the nature of the solution. As a result, the outcomes and discussions regarding the goal will be clarified in this part. The numerical solution is determined using the following control parameters: The results are presented in a graphical style to provide a better understanding of the effect of the physical parameter. The variation of and against χ with the interpretation of S are portrayed in Figures 2A, B. According to these figures, solutions exist in the range χc < χ for hybrid nanomaterials, but no solution occurs beyond the turning points, that is, when χ < χc. The region’s outcome route clearly widens as the value of S increases, with the bifurcation values of χc. Furthermore, in the physically stable branch of the solution, the skin friction coefficient increases, whereas in the unstable branch, the opposite tendency is observed. As the porous medium is taken into account in this model, so Figures 3A, B depict the fluctuation of and against the shrinking parameter χ with different values of the porosity parameter . It is seen that the boundary layer bifurcates at the crucial points χc = −3.9592 at and χc = −3.9954 at . This also implies that increasing the porosity parameter kp delays the bifurcation process. As a result of the increased porosity parameter k, the skin friction coefficient decreases for the upper solution and increases for the lower branch solution, while the local Nusselt number shows a decline trend. Furthermore, the rising behavior of the magnetic field parameter M on and is depicted in Figures 4A, B. The magnetic field is influenced more by the dispersion of Au nanoparticles in the nanofluid. The rate of heat transfer increases with the concentration of nanoparticles because intermolecular collisions increase the kinetic energy. Additionally, the skin friction coefficient demonstrates a similar impact. Figure 5 shows the influence of the Eckert number Ec on in the direction of χ. In the first and second solutions, raising Ec slows down the rate of heat transportation. However, the uncertainty in the boundary layer partition is unaffected by the increasing Eckert number. As a result, the dual branches are only applicable up to the identical critical value for all Ec values. Figure 6 represents the effects of shrinking velocity on the dimensionless velocity profile. It is observed that the velocity profile significantly decreases with shrinking velocity for the upper branch solution, while increases for the lower branch solution. The physical importance of this problem shows that in the case of dual solutions, the flow separates from the plate, which is very important for many practical problems. The fluctuation of the mass suction parameter S on the velocity profile in relation to the similarity variable η is shown in Figure 7. Here, it is noted that suction diminishes the thickness of the related boundary layer due to the physical increase in velocity distribution. Figure 8 depicts the effect of the volume percentage of nanoparticles on the temperature distribution. Because of an upsurge in the kinetic energy of the system, the fluid temperature inclines. This increase in kinetic energy promotes thermal transfer. Figure 9 demonstrates the influence of γ on the temperature distribution. The Biot number improves the temperature of the fluid in consort with the boundary layer thickness. In actuality, increasing the Biot number improves the penetration depth. To study the behavior of thermal distribution for distinct values of Ec,Figure 10 is sketched. Since Ec is derived from the appearance of the Joule heating result, the increment in Ec also indicates that a stronger heat generation from the electric current reference has been considered to the conducting sheet, which therefore generates the upgrade in temperature. Figure 11 is sketched to analyze the nature of temperature distribution for various values of . It is found that the fluid temperature and the associated thickness, both are enhanced on increasing θw. Figure 12 shows the effect of thermal radiation on , and it can be seen from this figure that rises as Rd is increased. This is because as Rd is increased, the fluid absorbs more heat, causing a rise in .

5 Conclusion

The goal of the current research is to identify the multiple solutions for the magneto-hybrid nanofluid flow due to a shrinking surface. Additionally, the incorporated consequences of Ohmic heating and non-linear thermal radiation over a convectively heated surface are discussed comprehensively through graphical structures. In this study, multiple solutions occur for various ranges of the shrinking parameter. This research can be summarized in the following way:

  • • The existence of a shrinking surface promotes the discovery of dual solutions.

  • • It may be possible to decrease the flow velocity and raise the flow temperature by using higher joule heating and viscous dissipation effects.

  • • For large values of the Biot number, the temperature distribution and thermal transport rate are more prominent.

  • • The suction parameter reduces the fluid velocity in the upper branch, while it is enhanced in the lower branch.

  • • In a physical stable branch, an increasing magnetic strength raises the skin friction coefficient.
