In this work, we inspect and analyze a two dimensional, unsteady mixed convectional hybrid nanofluid hydromagnetic flow (Al2O3-Cu/H2O) over a convectional heated an extending/contracting surface with the influence of thermal radiation. Hybrid nanofluid (Al2O3-Cu/H2O) flows with magnetohydrodynamic and heat source or sink. Brownian motion and thermophoresis were incorporated using the Buongiorno model. Hybrid nanofluid with vol. fraction range limited to 1.5% and within the higher temperature range of 50°C to 70°C is considered for thermal conductivity and viscosity analysis. The proposed model is then converted into ODEs through similarity transformation with the help of homotopy analysis. The effect of embedded input factors on the temperature, velocity, and concentration profiles is visually demonstrated and explained. The magnetic field has inverse impact on velocity and temperature profiles. Velocity profile increases for both mixed convection and buoyancy ratio parameters. It has been noticed that the temperature profile increases with thermal radiation. For increasing values of Lewis number, the concentration of hybrid nanoparticles is considerably lowered. Moreover, we observed an increase in the concentration of hybrid nanoparticles through a destructive chemical reaction, whereas a generative chemical reaction has the reverse effect. It has been proved that skin friction is increasing function of ε,Mand decreasing function of λ1,Nr. On the other hand, Nusselt number increased with the increase of R,Q,Nb,Nt while Sherwood number is decreased, with the increase of Nb,Nt,Le.

Different strategies have been utilized by investigators with the intention of upgrading the thermal characteristics of ordinary liquids like water and kerosene oil. The focus is currently on hybrid nanomaterials since they are more efficient than nanofluids, so as to increase the thermal conductivity of fluids and mixtures. In a similar manner, this investigation is performed with the aim of breaking down the consistent mixed convection flow close to a two-dimensional unstable flow between two squeezing plates with homogeneous and heterogeneous reaction in the presence of hybrid nanoparticles of the porous medium. A sustainable suspension in the ethylene glycol with water is set by dissolving inorganic substances, iron oxide Fe3O4 and cobalt (Co), to form Fe3O4−Co/C2H6O2−H2O hybrid nanofluid. The numerical and analytical model portraying the fluid flow has been planned, and similitude conditions have been determined with the assistance of the same transformations. The shooting technique has been used to solve nonlinear numerical solution. To check the validity of the results obtained from the shooting mode, the Matlab built-in function BVP4c and Mathematica built-in function homotopy analysis method (HAM) are used. The influence of rising parameters on velocity, temperature, skin friction factor, Nusselt number, and Sherwood number is evaluated with the help of graphs and tables. It has been found in this work that to acquire a productive thermal framework, the hybrid nanoparticles should be considered instead of a single sort of nanoparticles. In addition, the velocities of both the hybrid nanofluids and simple nanofluids are upgraded by the mixed convection boundary, whereas they are decreased by the porosity. An augmentation in volumetric fraction of nanoparticles correlates to an increment in the heat transmission rate. It is also found that heat transfer rate for Fe3O4−Co/C2H6O2−H2O hybrid nanofluids (HNF) is better than that of the Fe3O4−C2H6O2−H2O of single nanofluids (SNF). This research shows that hybrid nanofluids play a significant part in the transfer of heat and in the distribution of nanofluids at higher temperatures.

Unsteady electrohydrodynamic hybrid nanofluid Al2O3‐Cu/H2O past a convective heat stretched/shrinked sheet is examined. A stagnation point fluid flow with velocity slip constrains and heat source or sink is deliberated. The combined set of PDEs is translated into ODEs by including approved similarity transformations. HAM is applied for the solution to the obtained nonlinear system. The magnetic input factor, Prandtl number, electric field factor, Eckert number, heat source factor, and unstable factor are the governing parameters. The impact of these factors on the temperature and velocity profiles features of the problem is considered with explanation. Intensification in values of electric and magnetic fields parameters enhanced the heat transfer rate. The greater Prandtl number lessens the temperature. Amplification in temperature is perceived for Eckert parameter. The heat transferred rate of hybrid nanofluid in the entire domain increases as the heat source increases, while the heat sink has the opposite effect. Skin friction and Nusselt number is increased for increasing values of magnetic field parameters. It is also noted that Nusselt number lessens for raising in Pr,E,and Ec. Furthermore, it is eminent that the hybrid nanofluid possesses better result compared to the nanofluid.
