Comparison study of modified and classical Hamilton-Crosser models for electrophoretic and thermophoretic particle deposition in stagnation point flow of diamond -SiC-Co3O4/diathermic oil-based trihybrid nanofluid

Abstract

The current work examines the impact of heat generation on the stagnation point flow of a magnetized trihybrid nanofluid around a rotating sphere with electrophoretic and thermophoretic particle deposition. The trihybrid (Diamond –SiC–Co3O4/Do) nanofluid flow model consists of nanoparticles of Cobalt oxide (Co3O4), diamond (ND), and silicon carbide (SiC) dissolved in diathermic oil (DO). By comparing the modified model with the classical Hamilton–Crosser model, this study aims to investigate the heat transfer rate of a trihybrid nanofluid based on diamond –SiC–Co3O4/ diathermic oil. Through the analysis of trihybrid nanofluids based on diamond –SiC–Co3O4/Do diathermic oil, this model can optimize heat transmission in systems that need effective thermal management, like chemical reactors, electronics cooling, and energy storage. Trihybrid nanofluids' special qualities improve thermal conductivity, stability, and deposition control, which raises operational efficiency and dependability. It also helps with the design of sophisticated cooling systems for automotive and aerospace applications. These governing equations were solved with MATLAB's bvp4c tool after being transformed into ordinary differential equations via similarity variables. Results imply that, when compared to the classical model, the modified model accurately predicts higher heat transfer rates. As a consequence, trihybrid nanofluid heat transfer properties are better understood and thermal conductivity models are more accurate. The study shows that the concentration profile improved for both classical and modified Hamilton–Crosser models to enhance the values of electrophoretic particle deposition; while, inverse behavior is observed for thermophoretic particle deposition.
