Applications of nonlinear thermal radiation on performance of hybrid nanofluid (Al2O3-Ag)/(C2H6O2-H2O) for stagnation point flow: Blade and spherical shaped nanoparticles

Owing to enhanced thermal properties and stable features, the hybrid nanofluids offer dynamical applications in the renewable energy, heat exchangers, thermal management systems, power management systems, heavy heat transfer devices etc. The hybrid nanofluids are the combination of two different nanoparticles with base fluids with more strengthened thermal properties. The shape features play and important role in flow of hybrid nanofluids due to their influence on various key factors related to thermal phenomenon, fluid flow and system efficiency. The available research on hybrid nanofluids convey that less attention has been paid to towards investigation of various shape features like blade-shaped and spherical shape for performances of hybrid nanofluids. The motivated research aims to is to explore the thermal applications of magnetized hybrid nanomaterial with evaluation of distinct shape features. The hybrid nanofluid is assumed to be decomposition (50:50)% of ethylene glycol (C2H6O2) and water (H2O) based fluids with silver (Ag) and alumina (Al2O3) nanoparticles. The flow analysis is driven by obliquely driven stagnation point flow. The insight of heat transfer is addressed by incorporating the nonlinear radiative effects. The transport of heat transfer is addressed for bladeshaped and spherical nanoparticles. The convective thermal constraints are used for performing the analysis. The thermo-physical properties of hybrid nanomaterials are incorporated. The solution scheme for modelled equations is based in implementation of Runge Kutta Fehlberg (RKF 5) technique. It has been observed that thermal phenomenon boosted more exclusively for blade-shaped nanoparticles. The temperature profile for mono nanofluid and hybrid nanomaterial enhances due to nanoparticles volume fraction and Biot number.
