The problem of an unsteady 3D boundary layer flow induced by a stretching sheet in a rotating hybrid nanofluid is investigated numerically. It is found that increasing the nanoparticle volume fraction enhances the skin friction coefficient, while increasing the rotation parameter decreases both the skin friction coefficient and the heat transfer rate at the surface.
The problem of an unsteady 3D boundary layer flow induced by a stretching sheet in a rotating hybrid nanofluid is studied. A dimensionless set of variables is employed to transform the system of partial differential equations (PDEs) to a set of nonlinear ordinary differential equations (ODEs). Then, the system of ODEs is solved numerically using the MATLAB software. The impacts of different parameters, such as copper nanoparticles volume fraction, radiation, rotation, unsteadiness, and stretching parameters are graphically displayed. It is found that two solutions exist for the flow induced by the stretching sheet. Furthermore, the increasing nanoparticle volume fraction enhances the skin friction coefficient. It is noticed that the skin friction coefficient, as well as the heat transfer rate at the surface, decrease as the rotating parameter increases. Additionally, the thermal radiation as well as the unsteadiness parameter stimulate the temperature.
