A Study of some Boundary Layer Hybrid Nanofluid Flow and Heat Transfer

Abstract

The present study deals with the heat transfer of hybrid nanofluid and newlinenanofluid flow. MoS2-SiO2/water hybrid nanofluid and MoS2/water nanofluid flow newlinehave been studied in the current models. This study investigates the boundary layer newlineflow of hybrid nanofluids past the solid bodies of various geometries (parallel disks, newlinestretching or shrinking sheet, slendering surface, and a flat plate). The steady laminar newlineboundary layer flow of hybrid nanofluids is studied under various physical conditions newlineand boundary conditions. The hybrid nanofluid flows are modeled with the help of the newlineequation of mass, equation of momentum, equation of energy, and equation of species newlinetransport. Hybrid nanofluid offers a wide range of applications. The hybrid nanofluids newlinepredict better thermal efficiency and heat transfer due to the improved thermal newlineperformance. newlineThis thesis comprises of five chapters. The initial chapters consist of essential newlinenotions, definitions and literature related to boundary layer theory. The group of newlinesimilarity transformation has been utilized to convert the principal equations into the newlinenon-dimensional set and the Runge-Kutta-Fehlberg method along with shooting and newlinethe built-in function quotbvp4cquot in MATLAB is employed to solve them. In along with newlinethe finding of the study, the literature used in the course of the study has been referred newlineto under the section of literature cited. newlineThis study can be beneficial in learning about metal medicine, wires, glass newlinefiber production, different fields of chemistry, engineering, and industry because all of newlinethem witness the production of heat and deal with heat transfer phenomena. newline
