In contemporary times, there has been a significant focus among researchers on hybrid nanofluids derived from oils, owing to their remarkable and substantial utility in the domains of engineering, mechanics, and industrial applications. The aim of this research is to determine the impact of incorporating tantalum and nickel nanoparticles in mineral oil on thermal characteristics and flow patterns, with the objective of predicting possible improvements. The dependence of the role of both nanoparticles on their shapes is evaluated for column, platelet, lamina, cylinder, and tetrahedron-type shapes. This work analyzes the thermal performance of two different nanofluids individually made of tantalum and nickel nanoparticles while also examining the synergistic effects produced due to the simultaneous suspension of these particles. A profound understanding of the intricate flow dynamics and thermal energy transfer phenomena along a vertical surface holds paramount importance in the pursuit of optimizing heat exchange procedures, formulating effective cooling systems, and designing thermally efficient devices. Furthermore, it contributes to the advancement of climate modeling, the precision of weather forecasting, and the refinement of the operational effectiveness of solar thermal systems. The basic mathematical model is formulated subject to free convection, time-dependent flow and heat conditions, and thermal radiation. This governing system is made non-dimensional to lessen the intricacy and provide the basis for the utilization of fractional operators. In order to assess the effectiveness of fractional modeling techniques, constant proportional Caputo (CPC) and Atangana–Baleanu (ABC) derivatives are operated for the model generalization. Most of the time, solving fractional models via an analytic method are not a feasible technique because it produces extremely complex and implicit mathematical expressions. However, in this study, the Laplace transform is served as a solution procuring technique, and series and integral form exact solutions are extracted for CPC and ABC derivative-based models, respectively. To interpret modifications in thermal and velocity patterns arising from diverse physical phenomena, numerous graphical depictions of exact solutions are communicated. Moreover, the implications of varying a number of critical factors, including the fractional parameter, nanoparticles' shapes and proportions, and radiation term, on shear stress and thermal productivity of the hybrid nanofluid are discussed using the tabulated findings. On comparing shape effects and individual suspensions of considered nanoparticles, it is observed that lamina shape and nickel nanoparticles are relatively more effective regarding the improvement of thermal performance. The model based on the CPC derivative yields lower profiles of temperature and flow functions as compared to the ABC derivative-based model. The results indicate that introducing homogeneous proportions of tantalum and nickel nanoparticles into mineral oil raises its heat-transferring capacity by up to 47.60%. These findings suggest that the examined hybrid nanofluid performs extremely well as a lubricant and a cooling agent. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The goal of this investigation is to explore the influence of viscous dissipation and Brownian motion on Jeffrey nanofluid flow over an unsteady moving surface with thermophoresis and mixed convection. Zero mass flux is also addressed at the surface such that the nanoparticles fraction of maintains itself on huge obstruction. An aiding transformation is adopted to renovate the governing equations into a set of partial differential equations which is solved using a new fourth-order finite difference continuation method and various graphical outcomes are discussed in detail with several employed parameters. The spectacular influence of pertinent constraints on velocity and thermal curves are inspected through various plots. Computational data for the heat transfer rate and skin-friction coefficient are also reported graphically. Graphical outcomes indicate that an augmentation in buoyance ratio and thermophoretic parameter leads to diminish the velocity curves and increase the temperature curves. Furthermore, it is inspected that escalating Deborah number exhibits increasing in the skin friction and salient decreasing heat transmission. Increasing magnetic strength leads to a reduction in the skin friction and enhancement in the Nusselt number, whilst a reverse reaction is manifested with mixed convection aspects.

The spotlight of this investigation is primarily the effectiveness of the magnetic field on the natural convective for a Fe3O4 ferrofluid flow over a vertical radiate plate using streamwise sinusoidal variation in surface temperature. The energy equation is reduplicated by interpolating the non-linear radiation effectiveness. The original equations describing the ferrofluid motion and energy are converted into non-dimensional equations and solved numerically using a new hybrid linearization-differential quadrature method (HLDQM). HLDQM is a high order semi-analytical numerical method that results in analytical solutions in η -direction, and so the solutions are valid overall in the η domain, not only at grid points. The dimensionless velocity and temperature curves are elaborated. Furthermore, the engineering curiosity of the drag coefficient and local Nusselt number are debated and sketched in view of various emerging parameters. The analyzed numerical results display that applying the magnetic field to the ferroliquid generates a dragging force that diminishes the ferrofluid velocity, whereas it is found to boost the temperature curves. Furthermore, the drag coefficient sufficiently minifies, while an evolution in the heat transfer rate occurs as nanoparticle volume fraction builds. Additionally, the augmentation in temperature ratio parameter signifies a considerable growth in the drag coefficient and Nusselt number. The current theoretical investigation may be beneficial in manufacturing processes, development of transport of energy, and heat resources. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
