On study of flow features of hybrid nanofluid subjected to oscillatory disk

Abstract

In recent years, an entirely new class of nanofluids has been developed, namely hybrid nanofluids. Their efficiency when it comes to heat transfer has been demonstrated to be much higher than the traditional nanofluids. In this study, the flow of hybrid nanofluid is analyzed subjected to the flow geometry of oscillatory disk that also rotates with the constant angular speed. Mainly, we investigated hybrid nanofluid flow subjected to an oscillatory disk that rotates at a constant angular speed as an incompressible, laminar and time-dependent electrically conducting flow. The implication of similarity functions normalizes the flow phenomenon. Furthermore, we solved the governing system by implementing the finite differences, and then the iterative procedure is carried out with the help of Successive Over-Relaxation (SOR) technique. In the later part of the paper, graphical representation is given to discuss dimensionless factors in both scenarios of nanofluid and hybrid nanofluid.
