Comparative study on hybrid-based MoS2-GO hybrid nanofluid flow over a three-dimensional extending surface: A numerical investigation

Abstract

In this research work, the authors have presented a water-ethylene glycol-based hybrid nanofluid flow which contains MoS₂ and GO nanoparticles on a stretching surface. The fluid flow has been examined under the consequences of velocity and thermal slip conditions, magnetic field, and exponential heat source/sink. The hybrid-based fluid flow is composed of 50% water and 50% ethylene glycol. The purpose of this investigation is to propose a comparative analysis among the pure fluid, GO nanofluid, and hybrid nanofluid. A suitable set of variables has been used to convert the leading equation to dimensionless notation. The bvp4c Matlab built-in package is utilized to compute a numerical solution of the suggested model. A comparison of the resultant data with published results exhibits a significant agreement. The outcomes of the present work show that GO nanofluid flow has a greater velocity profile than the hybrid nanofluid and base fluid. Temperature panels, skin friction, and thermal flow rate are much greater in the case of hybrid nanoparticles in contrast to single GO nanofluid and base fluid. Further, it has been noticed that the impact of the porosity factor and magnetic and rotation factors drops the velocity distribution, while the opposite impacts of the porosity and magnetic factors have been found on the radial velocity.
