Study of nonlinear thermal convection of ternary nanofluid within Darcy-Brinkman porous structure with time dependent heat source/sink

[摘要] The dynamical behaviour and thermal transportation feature of mixed convective Casson bi-phasic flows of water-based ternary Hybrid nanofluids with different shapes are examined numerically in a Darcy- Brinkman medium bounded by a vertical elongating slender concave-shaped surface. The mathematical framework of the present flow model is developed properly by adopting the single-phase approach, whose solid phase is selected to be metallic or metallic oxide nanoparticles. Besides, the influence of thermal radiation is taken into consideration in the presence of an internal variable heat generation. A set of feasible similarity transformations are applied for the conversion of the governing PDEs into a nonlinear differential structure of coupled ODEs. An advanced differential quadrature algorithm is employed herein to acquire accurate numerical solutions for momentum and energy equations. Results of the conducted parametric study are explained and revealed in graphs using bvp5c in MATLAB to solve the governing system. The solution with three mixture compositions is provided (Type-I and Type-II). Al 2 O 3 (Platelet), GNT (Cylindrical), and CNTs (Spherical), Type-II mixture of copper (Cylindrical), silver (Platelet), and copper oxide (Spherical). In comparison to Type-I ternary combination Type-II ternary mixtures is lesser in terms of the temperature distribution. The skin friction coefficient is more in Type-1 compared to Type-2.
