Effect of resistive heating on incessantly poignant thin needle in magnetohydrodynamic Sakiadis hybrid nanofluid

The flow and energy transport of water-ethylene glycol (EG) based Ti-Cu hybrid nanofluid due to incessantly poignant needle in magnetohydrodynamic Sakiadis flow with resistive heating is investigated. We scrutinized the flow and heat transfer of the Blasius and free stream flows. The governing Partial Differential Equations are transformed as Ordinary Differential Equations using suitable similarities and resolved numerically using RK (Runge-Kutta) based shooting procedure. Numerical and graphical outcomes are explored and examined for the drive, thermal transport, surface friction and local Nusselt number of various pertinent parameters. It is originate that the flow and thermal boundary layer of Blasius and Sakiadis flows are not equal. The rate of energy transport is high in moving needle in the static fluid when equated with the fixed needle in dynamic fluid. It is also established that the rate of heat transfer in Ti-Cu/EG-water hybrid nanofluid is more than water-EG/Ti nanofluid. (C) 2020 The Authors.

Automated summary

In this study, the flow and heat transfer of water-ethylene glycol based Ti-Cu hybrid nanofluid in magnetohydrodynamic Sakiadis flow were investigated numerically. The results showed differences in thermal boundary layer between the Blasius and Sakiadis flows, with higher energy transport rate observed in moving needle compared to fixed needle scenarios. Additionally, it was found that Ti-Cu/EG-water hybrid nanofluid exhibited higher heat transfer rate than water-EG/Ti nanofluid.
