Unsteady magnetohydrodynamic flow and heat transfer of nanofluid and hybrid nanofluids over a vertical cone embedded in a porous medium
description Nanotechnology has played a significant role in multi-fields of heat transfer processes and has made impressive advances in energy applications. This technology has significantly developed the science of thermal energy by improving various properties of energy transmitting fluids. This includes the development of nanofluid that can provide high heat transfer rates in a thermal energy system. Anewclass of nanofluid is known as hybrid nanofluid. Hybrid nanofluid has better chemical and mechanical strength, excellent thermal and electrical conductivity, lower cost, high heat transfer rates, and reliable physio-chemical properties. Bearing in mind such interesting features of nanofluid, the predominant idea of this thesis is to investigate heat transfer in the boundary layer flow of unsteady viscous nanofluids and hybrid nanofluid. Specifically, the water based nanofluids and hybrid nanofluid flow along a vertical cone enclosed in a porous medium is considered. The effects of external magnetic field and thermal radiation are additional features to the innovation of the constructed mathematical model.
