Abstract

The current study focuses on the flow actions of two-dimensional hybrid nanofluids when they pass through a stretching sheet with viscous dissipation. The hybrid nanomaterials under consideration are Ag+ Al2O3 and Cu+TiO2, having H2O functioning as the base fluid.
A similarity transformation is utilized to simplify the governing model by switching the partial differential equations (PDEs) into a non-dimensional ordinary differential equation (ODE) system. The study explores changes in volume fraction (????), velocity power index (m), wall thickness parameter (????), and Eckart number (Ec) through graphical representations of entropy generation, thermal and velocity profiles. Remarkably, the velocity field exhibits a substantial increase when these relevant parameters are promoted. In this investigation, the Homotopy Perturbation method is employed to solve the nonlinear ODEs resulting from the study. This technique offers a direct and efficient approach to tackling the problem. The numerical data for the Nusselt number and skin friction coefficient of hybrid nanofluids are shown in a table.
