Study of MHD Hybrid Nanofluid Flow over a Non-linear Stretched Sheet

Abstract

In this paper, the magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) hybrid nanofluid flow over a non-linear stretched sheet is mathematically
designed and analysed. The hybrid nanofluid is composed of two nanoparticles suspended in a base fluid, and the effect of a magnetic field
is considered for the flow characteristics. The governing equations for mass, momentum, and energy transport are derived, and a similarity
transformation is applied to convert these equations into a system of ordinary differential equations. The numerical solution of these
equations is obtained using the RKF method, and the results are analysed to study the impact of various parameters, such as the magnetic
parameter and nanoparticle volume fraction on the flow and heat transfer behaviour. The results indicate that the inclusion of hybrid
nanofluids enhances the heat transfer rate and affects the velocity distribution significantly.
