Wall jet flow and heat transfer of a hybrid nanofluid subject to suction/injection with thermal radiation

The current work describes the 2 dimensional hybrid nanofluid (HNF) flow of incompressible wall jet with mass transpiration, heat transfer and radiation effect, where the jet streamwise velocity varies in a power-law. On applying the appropriate similarity transformations to these equations, a system of nonlinear ordinary differential equation (ODEs) was obtained. Then, this resulted system was numerically solved using MATLAB bvp4c solver and the results of velocity profiles and temperature distributions were demonstrated in the graphical form. Further, analytical investigating for the flow equation was introduced with distinguishing of three cases for suction, impermeable and injection as relation of the power-law. It was found that increase in the volume fraction of nanoparticles inclines the velocity profile in suction. Further, the temperature distribution shrinks with the increase in suction and injection parameter.

Automated summary

This study investigates the 2 dimensional hybrid nanofluid flow in an incompressible wall jet, considering mass transpiration, heat transfer, and radiation effect. The study obtains a system of nonlinear ODEs through similarity transformations, and solves it numerically using MATLAB. The results show the velocity profiles and temperature distributions, indicating that an increase in nanoparticle volume fraction increases the velocity profile for suction and decreases the temperature distribution.
