Thermal augmentation in Darcy Forchheimer media flow using Extended Tiwari-Das model: Solar radiation aspects

Abstract

Investigation of thermal augmentation in industries is very significant to accomplish the production of many products. Hence, thermal analysis in ternary unsteady nanofluid flow inside a channel is conducted under pertinent physical controls. The fourth ternary nanofluid model is acquired using the similarity rules and then graphical results are demonstrated for hybrid and ternary nanofluids for inward and outward plate situation. Indepth investigation of the results revealed that Darcy and Forchheimer effects highly opposes the movement while it drops rapidly for ternary case due to high resistive forces. Inclusion of thermal radiations and heat dissipation augmented the performance of nano, hybrid and ternary nanoliquids; while, high thermal transport is noticed for ternary nanoliquid case because of excellent thermal conductivity. Further, increase in squeezed number caused insignificant contribution in the temperature distribution.
