Ternary nanoparticles effect in rotating hydromagnetic Jeffery-Hamel flow of nanofluids

Abstract

This research-work aims to study the dynamic behavior in rotating ternary hybrid nanofluid. More exactly hydro-magnetic ternary hybrid nano-fluid ( Cu, Al 2 O 3 , and Ag) flow through rotating converging/diverging channel has been investigated. The governing equations (PDEs) are converted to ODEs using the similarity transformations. In the next step, the problem has been solved numerically by using Runge-Kutta-Fehlberg 4th–5th order with shooting technique and analytically by using Duan–Rach Approach (DRA). The present results is compared with the HAM-based Mathematica package BVPh 2 and those available in the literature for several cases. The effects of parameters such as Reynolds number (Re), channel half-angle (α), rotational parameter (Ro), ternary hybrid nanoparticles ( Cu + Al 2 O 3 + Ag), and Hartmann number (Ha) on the evolution of ternary hybrid nano-fluid velocity and skin friction coefficient is considered.
