Abstract
In this work, we analyzed the hybrid nanofluid (Ag+CuO+kerosene oil) flow past a bidirectionally extendable surface in the presence of a variable magnetic field. The hybrid nanofluid flow considered is electrically conductive and steady. For the simulation of the problem, the Cattaneo-Christov double-diffusion (CCDD) model was considered, which generalizes Fourier's and Fick's laws. The impact of the Hall current produced was taken into account. The physical problem was transformed into a mathematical form with the help of suitable transformations to reduce the complexity of the problem. The transformed system of coupled ordinary differential equations (ODEs) was solved with the semi-analytical method. The results are plotted in comparison with the ordinary nanofluid (CuO+kerosene oil) and hybrid nanofluid (Ag+CuO+kerosene oil). The impact of various parameters (Pr,Sc,gamma 0,m,M,Nb,Nt,epsilon 1,epsilon 2) on the state variables is described. The velocity gradient under the impact of the mass flux and magnetic parameter shows a decreasing behavior, while the Hall parameter and the stretching ratio show an increasing behavior. Moreover, the skin friction, rate of heat, and mass transfer are numerically displayed through tables. In this work, we found that the thermal and concentration relaxation coefficients showed a decreasing behavior for their increasing trends. For the validation of the implemented technique, the squared residuals are computed in Table 2, which shows that the increasing number of iterations decreases the squared residual error. The results show that Ag+CuO+kerosene oil has good performance in the reduction of the heat transfer rate.
