MHD Stagnation Point Flow of Ternary Hybrid Nanofluid Flow over a
Stretching/Shrinking Cylinder with Suction and Ohmic Heating
Abstract
There is a new type of nanofluid called ternary hybrid nanofluid that
can be used to improve heat flow. This study investigates effects of
magnetic field, mass suction with ohmic heating towards stagnation
region of stretching/shrinking cylinder of polymer based ternary hybrid
nanofluid flows in two dimensions with different shapes aspect. Under
the imposed assumptions, equations governing the flow will be modelled.
It is feasible to convert nonlinear partial differential equations that
are not exactly solvable via similarity transformation to a system of
ordinary differential equations, which are solved numerically. The
combination of Runge–Kutta-IV and shooting method in Mathematica has
been shown to have a substantial impact on the prevalence of heat
exchange and the mobility parameters of ternary hybrid nanofluids. The
number of nanoparticles with suction enhances heat transfer and skin
friction coefficient. Graphs and tables demonstrated the influence of
many factors such as suction, Reynold number, nanoparticles volume
fraction, magnetic field, Eckert number, stretching/shrinking on
temperature, velocity, skin friction and local heat transfer rate
coefficients curves. To verify the findings, a contrast study was
undertaken between the current research and previously published results
for a specific instance, and excellent agreement was discovered.
