Interaction of Al2O3-Ag and Al2O3-Cu hybrid nanoparticles with water on convectively heated moving material

Purpose The aim of present work is to study the flow and heat transport structures of hybrid nanoparticles in a moving material. Two types of hybrid nanoparticles have been chosen namely Al2O3-Cu and Al2O3-Ag nanoparticles (90%) within 10% of pure water. Design/methodology/approach Leading governing equations are transformed through similarity technique and then computed for numerical illustration by applying RKF method. Findings The author observed that the skin friction value of Al2O3-Cu/water case is lesser in comparison to the values of Nusselt number for Al2O3-Ag/water nanoparticles. Originality/value There exist no such study which addressed such phenomenon.
