Brinkman-Forchheimer Slip Flow of Hybrid Nanofluid through a Flat Plate with Thermal Radiation: A Cattaneo-Christov Heat Flux Model

Abstract

The purpose of this work is to examine the influence of the velocity slip parameter and viscous dissipation on the features of the flow of a radiative hybrid nanofluid (Ethylene Glycol + Graphene + Copper) past a flat plate. Additionally, Cattaneo-Christov model is merged in the energy equation. The equations required to represent the problem have been turned into a system, and this system has been solved using the bvp4c solver. The heat transmission rate and friction factor against the pertinent parameters are explained using bar graphs. It is observed that, at , (Magnetic field parameter), friction factor declines at a proportion of 0.07462 and the rate of increment in the friction factor is 0.385017 when volume fraction of graphene nanoparticles ( ) is in the range Nusselt number is found to decrease by 0.85144 when Eckert number  is adjusted to , while the same increases by 0.350461 when  (thermal relaxation parameter) is used. Temperature has been seen to rise with increases in the thermal radiation parameter. In addition, it has been shown that a diminution in the velocity profile takes place whenever the porosity parameter is increased.
