Abstract
Numerical simulation of hybrid nanomaterial free convection with helps of CVFEM was performed. Dispersing nanomaterial can minimize the exergy loss. The modeling outputs were depicted in terms of 3D plots and contours. Because of reduction of irreversibility with inclusion of nanoparticles, hybrid nanofluid was employed. Increasing Ha results in greater Xd and it is more sensible when convection become stronger. The growth of permeability increases nanomaterial motion and reduces the exergy drop.
•Heat transfer and exergy loss of nanomaterial has been examined.•CVFEM is applied to simulate current permeable geometry.•Exergy drop reduces with decline of Lorentz forces.•Augmenting Da and Ra make Bejan number to reduce.
