Abstract
A 3-D magnetohydrodynamic flow of hybrid nanofluid across a stretched plane of non-uniform thickness with slip effects is studied. We pondered aluminum alloys of AA7072 and AA7072 + AA7075 in methanol liquid. The aluminum alloys amalgamated in this study are uniquely manufactured materials, possessing enhanced heat transfer features. AA7072 alloy is a composite mixture of Aluminum & Zinc in the ratio 98 & 1 respectively with added metals Silicon, ferrous and Copper. Equally, AA7075 is a mixture of Aluminum, Zinc, Magnesium, and Copper in the ratio of similar to 90, similar to 6, similar to 3 and similar to 1 respectively with added metals Silicon ferrous and Magnesium. Numerical solutions are attained using R-K based shooting scheme. Role of physical factors on the flow phenomenon are analyzed and reflected by plots and numerical interpretations. Results ascertain that heat transfer rate of the hybrid nanoliquid is considerably large as matched by the nanofluid. The impact of Lorentz force is less on hybrid nanofluid when equated with nanofluid. Also, the wall thickness parameter tends to improve the Nusselt number of both the solutions.
