Slip and Induced Magnetic Field Effects on Tangential Hyperbolic Hybrid Nanofluid over a Stretching Wedge with Nonuniform Heat Source.

Hybrid nanofluid flow analyses have obtained a lot of attention due to their usefulness as coolants in hybrid electric vehicles, health care, thermal exchange systems, cancer thermo-therapy, nuclear reactors, microfluidics, aerospace, acoustics, naval structures and power generation in power plants, This research investigated the impacts of slip and induced magnetic field effects on tangential hyperbolic hybrid nanofluid over a stretching wedge with non-uniform heat source. The nanoparticles used in this work are aluminum oxide (Al₂O₃) and copper (Cu) while water is the based fluid. The fluid flow are modelled as partial differential equations (PDEs). These are transformed to their corresponding ordinary forms (ODEs), which are solved by the homotopy analysis technique with the aid of similarity variables. The impact of prominent physical factors on fluid temperature, velocity, induced magnetic field, local Nusselt number and drag coefficient is explored. Tables and graphs are used to display the results which agreed with the existing ones in the literature. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
