Abstract
Nanoparticles are useful in improving the efficiency of convective heat transfer. The current study addresses this gap by making use of an analogy between Al2O3 and gamma-Al2O3 nanoparticles in various base fluids across a stretched sheet conjunction with f. Base fluids include ethylene glycol and water. We address, for the first time, the stagnation-point flow of a boundary layer of gamma-Al2O3 nanofluid over a stretched sheet with slip boundary condition. Al2O3 nanofluids employ Brinkman viscosity and Maxwell's thermal conductivity models with thermal radiations, whereas gamma-Al2O3 nanofluids use viscosity and thermal conductivity models generated from experimental data. For the boundary layer, the motion equation was solved numerically using the fourth-order Runge-Kutta method and the shooting approach. Plots of the velocity profile, temperature profile, skin friction coefficient and reduced Nusselt number are shown. Simultaneous exposure of the identical nanoparticles to water and ethylene glycol, it is projected, would result in markedly different behaviors with respect to the temperature profile. Therefore, this kind of research instills confidence in us to conduct an analysis of the various nanoparticle decompositions and profile structures with regard to various base fluids.
