Comparative Analysis of Silver and Titanium Oxide Hybrid Nanofluid in MHD Unsteady Flow Past an Accelerated Vertical Plate with Radiation Effects

Abstract

The problem of MHD unsteady movement of the nanofluid past an accelerated perpendicular surface is investigated. Thermal radiation and electromagnetic field properties are taken into explanation of the hybrid nanofluid composed of Silver and Titanium dioxide nanoparticles. The nanoparticles offer an enhanced thermal conductivity property, a factor important in technological advancement including cooling, separation, nuclear reactors, solar energy and electronic devices. The study aims to analyze the characteristics of different nanofluids on the influence of dimensionless parameters for mass and heat transmission. The resultant nondimensionalized boundary problem is solved numerically by the finite difference technique employed to obtain the mathematical results of the partial differential equations. The results demonstrate a comparison of velocity and thermal energy profiles of Silver-water and Titanium dioxide-water nanofluids graphically. Silver particles portray greater impacts on the nanofluid flow rate than the Titanium dioxide particles. The temperature of silver water is greater than the temperature of Titanium dioxide water. The improvement of thermal radiation strength was observed to enhance the temperature and velocity profiles of the nanofluid. The study is crucial in decision-making, especially for the choice of efficient nanofluid in mass and heat transmission applications.
