Open Access Hybrid Nanofluid Flow Over a Vertical Rotating Plate in the Presence of Hall Current, Nonlinear Convection and Heat Absorption

An exact analysis has been carried out to study a problem of the nonlinear convective flow of hybrid nanoliquids over a vertical rotating plate with Hall current and heat absorption. Three different fluids namely Cu–Al2O3–H2-Ohybrid nanofluid, Al2O3–H2O nanofluid and H2O basefluids are considered in the analysis. The simulation of the flow was carried out using the appropriate values of the empirical shape factor for five different particle shapes (i.e., sphere, hexahedron, tetrahedron, column and lamina). The governing PDEs with the corresponding boundary conditions are non-dimensionalised with the appropriate dimensionless variables and solved analytically by using LTM (Laplace transform technique). This investigation discusses the effects of governing parameters on velocity and temperature fields in addition to the rate of heat transfer. The numeric data of the density, thermal conductivity, dynamic viscosity, specific heat, Prandtl number and Nusselt number for twelve different hybrid nanofluids at 300 °K is presented. The temperature profile of hybrid nanoliquid is larger than nanoliquid for same volume fraction of nanoparticles. Also, the glycerin-based nanoliquid has a high rate of heat transfer than engine oil, ethylene glycol and water-based nanoliquids in order.
