Hybrid nanofluids have great potential for heat transport applications and exhibit better thermal stability and properties compared to standard nanofluids. This study investigates the injection of a mixture of methanol and silica-alumina nanoparticles into an electrically conductive disk with a permeable boundary. Results show that the presence of a magnetic field and the shrinking of the disk enhance the energy transport rate and wall stress, and the Hamilton-Crosser model exhibits better thermal conductivity.
Hybrid nanofluids show great potential for heat transport applications such as solar thermal systems, car cooling systems, heat sinks, and thermal energy storage. They possess better thermal stability and properties compared to standard nanofluids. In this study, a base fluid, methanol, is injected into an electrically conducting heat-generating/absorbing disk of permeable boundary, and dual solutions are obtained. Two alternative models, Xue and Hamilton-Crosser are considered, and their thermal conductivities are contrasted. Furthermore, thermal radiation and ohmic heating are also considered, and convective boundary conditions are utilized to simulate overall heat gains or losses resulting from conduction, forced or natural convection between nearby objects of nearly constant temperature. Using a similarity transform, the governing equations are obtained and numerically solved via bvp4c, a finite difference method. It is observed that the presence of a magnetic field and the shrinking of the disk elevate the energy transport rate and wall stress. Additionally, the skin friction coefficient and thermal distribution rate increase with wall transmission constraint while fluid flow and energy transport diminish. Furthermore, particle clustering and nano-layer creation suggest that the Hamilton-Crosser model exhibits better thermal conductivity than the Xue model. This study involves injecting a mixture of methanol and silica-alumina nanoparticles into an electrically conductive disk capable of generating or absorbing heat with a permeable boundary.
