An inclined MHD mixed radiative-convection flow of a micropolar hybrid nanofluid within a lid-driven inclined odd-shaped cavity

The present article scrutinizes the impact of partial slip on mixed-radiative interaction convection flow of a non-Newtonian micropolar hybrid nanofluid with an inclined magnetic field in an odd-shaped porous cavity due to separated heating. Partial slip influence is assumed to be along an inclined walls af and ef. A source of constant heat flux on the walls bc and cd is implemented. Besides, the two walls ab and de are kept to be at low temperature T-c. The other lid-driven porous cavity walls are selected to be adiabatic. The flow controlling equations are solved implementing the finite difference technique and the numerical computations are confirmed with earlier published papers successfully. Features of the temperature, streamlines and angular velocity as well Nusselt number are provided and argued for miscellaneous cases. The alteration of the vortex parameter enhances values of the angular velocity while the stream lines did not show any changes. An enhancement in values of the local Nusselt number is demonstrated as the geometry inclination angle is growing, while variations of lengths and locations of the active boundaries have negative impacts on the local Nusselt number. The outcomes show that, at a certain values of Darcy number (Da = 0.01), there is an improvement in average Nusselt number up to 9.9% when the nanoparticle parameter varied from 0 (pure) to 10%.
