This study investigates the flow and heat transfer characteristics of hybrid nanofluid on a permeable moving surface in the presence of magnetohydrodynamics and thermal radiation. The results show that the presence of a magnetic field and suction slows down the fluid motion, while an increase in thermal radiation parameter enhances heat transfer rate. Additionally, stability analysis confirms the existence of dual solutions within a specific range of moving parameters, with only one solution being physically relevant.
Purpose This paper aims to investigate the flow and heat transfer characteristics of a hybrid nanofluid (Cu-Al2O3/water) in the presence of magnetohydrodynamics and thermal radiation over a permeable moving surface. Design/methodology/approach By choosing appropriate similarity variables, the partial differential equations are transformed into a system of linear equations which are solved by using the boundary value problem solver (bvp4c) in MATLAB. The implementation of stability analysis verifies the achievable result of the first solution which is considered stable while the second solution is unstable. Findings The findings revealed that the presence of a magnetic field and suction slows down the fluid motion because of the synchronism of the magnetic and electric field occurred from the formation of the Lorentz force. Also, the enhancement of the thermal radiation parameter escalates the heat transfer rate of the current study. Originality/value The present study is addressing the problem of MHD flow and heat transfer analysis of a hybrid nanofluid towards a permeable moving surface, with the consideration of the thermal radiation effect. The authors show that in both cases of assisting and opposing flow, there exist dual solutions within a specific range of the moving parameters. A stability analysis approved that only one of the solutions are physically relevant.
