Abstract
•The stagnation point flow of hybrid nano fluid over a stretching cylinder is the key highlight.•Effects of inclined magnetic field are useful for the boundary layer control in hybrid nano fluid.•Numerical solutions are computed for the complicated problem.•The extended versions of Xue model and Yamada Ota model for hybrid nanofluid is taken into account.
Focus of the present analysis is on the stagnation point flow of hybrid nanofluid with inclined magnetic field over a moving cylinder. The extended version of two models (e.g. Xue model and Yamada-Ota model for hybrid nanofluids) are considered in this study). A mathematical model of hybrid nanofluid flow is developed under certain flow assumptions. Boundary layer approximations are also utilized to model a system of partial differential equations. The systems of partial differential equations are further converted to dimensionless systems of ordinary differential equations by means of suitable similarity transformations. A numerical solution is obtained by applying bv4c technique. Effects of variation in physical parameters involved are depicted through graphs. Skin friction coefficient and Nusselt number are highlighted through tables. Our main objective is to investigate the heat transfer rate on the surface of the nonlinear stretching cylinder. The results of Xue model and Yamada-Ota model for the hybrid nanofluid due to nonlinear stretching cylinder are computed for comparison. In both cases, velocity and temperature profiles are best compared to the decay results.
