Insight into heat transport exploration of rotating Darcy Forchheimer flow of hybrid nanofluid

Abstract

Modern science has optimized thermal devices due to the growing significance of energy consumption. To address this, one suggestion is to modify the thermal characteristics of traditional fluids with solid nanoparticles. Improved heat-transfer fluids known as nanofluids with hybrid properties are shaped by suspending various nanoparticles in a base fluid. These fluids are commonly used in manufacturing, industrial, and biomedical engineering due to their excellent heat transfer capabilities. The rotational flow of fluids in these applications is significant, as they have extensive implementations in hydraulic systems, medical devices, cooling systems, chemical reactors, and aerospace engineering. Due to the significance of rotational flow, this analysis is organized to deliberate the rotational magnetized flow phenomenon of a hybrid nanomaterial in three dimensions to acquire the dual outcomes. In this study, the occurrence of Darcy Forchheimer flow and the influence of rotation with velocity slip are examined about the behavior of hybrid nanofluids, which are combinations of ferrous ferric and zinc oxide nanoparticles in methanol-based regular fluid. The hybrid nanofluid's flow characteristics on the surface of a porous stretched/shrinking sheet are discussed under the consideration of Lorentz forces. Further, thermal analysis accounts for the significance of heat generation/absorption and thermal radiation, and Newtonian heating. The dual nature of the desirable results is also elucidated. Graphical illustrations of the flow and thermal properties regarding dual solutions and multiple factors are manifested. This study deliberates the result that the fluid velocity in the horizontal direction with improved rotational parameter exhibits an accelerating nature corresponding to the upper branch solution. In contrast, in the context of the lower branch solution, it demonstrates the opposite behavior. Additionally, in the vertical direction, the flow velocity depicts increasing behavior with improved rotational parameter corresponding to both solutions. Further, as the volume fraction of nanoparticles intensifications, the skin friction coefficients increase, and the local Nusselt number decreases.
