Abstract

A novel hybrid nanofluid was explored in order to find an efficient heat-transmitting fluid to replace standard fluids and revolutionary nanofluids. By using tangent hyperbolic hybrid combination nanoliquid with non-Newtonian ethylene glycol (EG) as a basis fluid and a copper (Cu) and titanium dioxide (TiO2) mixture, this work aims to investigate the viscoelastic elements of the thermal transferring process. Flow and thermal facts, such as a slippery extended surface with magnetohydrodynamic (MHD), suction/injection, form factor, Joule heating, and thermal radiation effects, including changing thermal conductivity, were also integrated. The Keller–Box method was used to perform collective numerical computations of parametric analysis using governing equivalences. In the form of graphs and tables, the results of TiO2–Cu/EG hybrid nanofluid were compared to those of standard Cu/EG nanofluid in important critical physical circumstances. The entropy generation study was used to examine energy balance and usefulness for important physically impacting parameters. Detailed scrutiny on entropy development get assisted with Weissenberg number, magnetic parameter, fractional volumes, injection parameter, thermal radiation, variable thermal conductivity, Biot number, shape variation parameter, Reynolds and Brinkman number. Whereas the entropy gets resisted for slip and suction parameter. In this case, spotted entropy buildup with important parametric ranges could aid future optimization.

Introduction

Nanoliquids are of outstanding importance to researchers, because, due to their raised heat transfer rates, they have significant manufacturing and engineering uses. Hybrid nanofluid a trending class of fluid with double or more kind of metal particles suspended in the base fluid. This progressive kind of nanoliquids presented encouraging improvement in thermal transferring features and thermo-physical and hydrodynamic possessions related to traditional single suspended fluids. HNF can be employed in numerous branches of heat transfer, for example, transports, engineering, and health sciences. HNF can be formulated by deferment of different nanoparticles in a composite/mixture of base fluids. In nature, most of all actions are highly related to nonlinearity, which is very difficult to solve. To introduce an acceptable solution to the problem, it usually requests irregular solutions using different techniques such as numerical, approximate, or methodical techniques. They can be employed to solve nonlinear ordinary differential equations without using linearization or discretization15.

A non-Newtonian fluid (NNF) is a special class of fluid such as ketchup, tooth paste and paints etc. in which the quantity of shear and the stress created by such particular measure were nonlinearly connected. It requires some added efforts to trace such kind of viscous behavior when compared to the traditional Newton fluids like water, gasoline and motor oils. Such fluids can be considered at some extent with viscosity in the form of time variant. Hence those stress changes may not be tracked with any stable procedure which requires specifically modeled functions.

The distinct feature of exerting both aspects of shear stiffing and retarding can be incorporated from the tangential hyperbolic nanoliquids. This class of fluid trend sets for more innovative works on the studies on boundary layer flows1. Lorentz force influence on tangential hyperbolic nanoliquid were pulls notable attention among the researchers and they have published frequent article under this topic25 while passing over the stretching sheet. The works69 are some examples to the works which tends to explore the altering heat transference in tangential hyperbolic nanoliquid when passing over the nonlinear stretching sheets. Updated magnetohydrodynamic versions of above mentioned works can be found in1015.

Being such kind of nonlinear in fluid dynamical aspects, the representing equations also requires some special form of approaches for to be solved. Literature concludes the fact that, semi-analytic techniques and numerical way so solving procedures were preferred by the authors. Homotopy based analysis looks to be widely employed for solving such class of fluid problems. Improved accuracy level and reduced and faster coherence in solution made the researchers to move towards these kind of hybrid methodology1620.

It is recognized that the result of every thermal process, the entropy assesses the quantity of irretrievable energy loss. Cooling and warming are essential cases in numerous manufacturing areas of engineering studies that are used mostly in energy and electronic devices. Consequently, it is natural to enhanced entropy formation21. Shahsavar et al.22 studied through numerical perspective to explore the entropy generation of HNF flow. Huge developments in nanoliquid thermo-physical possessions on the straight fluids have controlled the fast progress of using HNFs of thermal transference deliberated by Hussien et al.23. Ellahi et al.24 analyzed the effect of hydromagnetic thermal transference flow with maximized entropy. Lu et al.25 studied the entropy analysis and nonlinear thermal in the flow of HNF over a sheet. The technique of finite-difference is utilized to resolve it numerically. Newly, the employability of maximized energy loss and other physical phenomena is located in the works of Khan et al.26, Sheikholeslami et al.27, Zeeshan et al.28, Ahmad et al.29, Moghadasi et al.30, Shorbagy et al.31, Ibrahim et al.3235, Majid et al.36, Gul et al.37,38, Wajdi et al.39, Arshad Khan et al.40, Jawad et al.41 and Saeed et al.42.

Based on the above literature, this research purposes to plug in the spot by intending to explore the flow and thermal aspects of the radiative tangent hyperbolic hybrid combo nanoliquid with variant heat conducting ability with passing an extending permeable surface. The model of Tiwari and Das for nanofluid43 are to be used for the modeling the flow mathematically. The hybrid nanoparticle involved in this study are copper (Cu) and titanium dioxide (TiO2) and the based fluid used is ethylene glycol (EG).

The main objective of this work is to trace the irreversible energy loss, the study of entropy forming will be undertaken with the flow effects of the hybrid nanoparticle. The prevailing equations of tangent hyperbolic nanofluid are converted into possible ODEs by employing the apt similarities variables. Subsequently, the ODEs will be numerically solved for the parametrical influences using the Keller–Box method. The outcomes of the studies were displayed in the graphical form for technical discussions. The influence of parameters reflecting hydromagnetic, viscous based dissipation, joule heating, shapes of the suspended particles under thermal radiation subjected to the Newtonian boundary conditions were deliberated thoroughly.

Flow analysis

The flow movement investigation describes the fluidity across the non-regular flat surface with the extending velocity44:

where b is a initial extending rate. Isolated surface temperature is ¥wx,0=¥+bx and for aptness it is supposedly considered to be constant at x=0, b and ¥ give the rate of heat variant and ambient temperature, respectively.

Keller–Box method: an efficient numerical strategy

Analytical method of solving the mathematical model in terms of system of nonlinear ODEs for problem of such kind are technically intricate to solve. Researcher are in search of optimal numerical techniques with better convergence and accuracy. Keller–Box method (KBM)55 is one of the healthier choice for those kind of complex set of ODEs like (3.3)–(3.4). Figure 2 displays the flow of working procedure of the Keller–Box scheme.

Stage 2: Separation of domains

Interested Domain has to separated with equal grid size. Accuracy of the outcome depends of the fact of fine grids. Hence lesser grid size are the choice of researchers to obtain highly exactitude results.

Γ0=0,Γj=Γj-1+h,j=1,2,3,,J-1,ΓJ=Γ.

To represents the lateral separation of the domain, j is applied to represent h-space for positioned coordinates. Prompt initial guess values between =0 and Γ= for the process to attain the flow, thermal, entropy loss and thermal transference rate with good convergence. Most importantly the boundary constraints should be satisfied at the first place. Choice of initial guess is based on the limitations to attain minimal time process to convergence of solution without replication (see Fig. 3):

form the comprehensive sized J×J, that 5×5 blocks were represented with the label of ‘R’. In the intervening time both then ε and p characterize J×1 column vector. Then an renowned LU technique of factorization has been employed to obtain the solutions of ε. The matrix form of representation can be framed for the equation Rε=p to get the solution for ε. The equality Rε=p represents the fact of outputs as p with the combination of the matrix R and Δ to produce a vector based fabricating solutions.

Analysis of entropy formation

Irreversible energy drains in the system were modelled as entropy formation. Factor like permeability looks in favour prices of such kind. Das et al.59 quantified the prevailing nanofluid entropy formation as:

EG=khnf¥2¥y2+163σ¥3κνf(ρCp)f¥y2+μhnf¥v1y2+σhnfB2u2¥. 6.1

The dimensionless form of entropy form was represented as5964,

NG=¥2b2EGkf¥w-¥2. 6.2

Entropy is expressed as:

NG=Reϕd1+Nrθ2+1ϕaBrΩf2+ϕaϕeMf2, 6.3

Here Re=Uwb2νfx is the Reynolds number, Br=μfUw2kf¥w-¥ shows the Brinkmann amount and Ω=¥w-¥¥ is the variance in thermal states.

Impression of Weissenberg number (We)

The raise in Weissenberg number (We) reflects in improved viscous and frictional aspects of the flow fluid and makes it tougher to move. Figure 4 evident the lagging in the fluidity for such enhancement in Weissenberg number (We). It reflects in improve thermal transference (Fig. 5) through the fact of more in contact time with the surface to clutch more heat from it. More the thermal transference more the entropy.

In Fig. 4, the flow is reduced for thermal absorption and the elevation of thermal distribution (Fig. 5) due to the slow movement of the hybrid nanofluid for higher values of Weissenberg number (We). At the same time, the reduced viscosity allows the nanofluid to retain its contact with the surface. At plate, the entropy level of hybrid combo stays ahead of nanofluid, and moving on it inverted as it move beyond the plate (Fig. 6).

Impact of shape factor (m)

The variable m has been employed to manipulate the shape factor of nanoparticle engaged in this study. The shape variation was made to start from spherical, hexahedron, tetrahedron column, and finally into laminar. Physically, this order of changes was introduced based on their thermal transmitting ability. Figure 7 exhibits the elevated thermal diffusion for varied shapes with enhanced thermal transmitting capacity.

Figure 8 presents the improved entropy production for the shape variants. As the shapes tended to improvise the transmitting process, which exerts more irreversible energies this may lead to raise in entropy state for vital shape alterations in both hybrid TiO2–Cu/EG fluid and Cu–EG nanofluid.

Impact of magnetic variable (M)

Despite of Lorentz force, a major factor holds influencing behavior on both the fluidity and thermal transference process. Performance of Nano class of fluids in those works were decided through the quantity of nano particle in the flow. Suction/injection may have greater impact in such particle strength while it can also manipulate the other key factors of the fluid too. More the particle more drag from Lorenz force this reflects in Fig. 9 where the TiO2–Cu/EG hybrid class fluid passes forward than the Cu–EG nano class fluid.

Figure 10 exhibits the renowned thermal dispersal for the TiO2–Cu/EG hybrid class fluid and of Cu–EG nano class fluid. In additional top the enhanced thermal transferring abilities, the hybrid class fluid holds yet another reason for it better performance in thermal transference. More the particle slower the flow, slower flow holds more time around the surface to fetching more heat. This also one of the reason for improved thermal transfer rate for the TiO2–Cu/EG hybrid class fluid.

Entropy formation is the process of assessing the irreversible energy loss from the system. It happens during the thermal transference process. If that is the case, hybrid class fluid with TiO2–Cu/EG combo induced more thermal transfer and by means it causes more entropy while compared to the Cu–EG nano class fluid. Fact looks clear in Fig. 11 under magnetic interaction parameter influence.

Influence of nanoparticle fractional volume (ϕ) and (ϕhnf)

Acknowledging the fact that, fluidity plays the noticeable role in heat transference and energy loss tracing similar kind of influence may exerts for fractional volume too. Fluid with better flow ability can exhibit minimal contact time with the surface, resulting nominal heat transfer. Figure 12 signifies the altering way of added particle fraction can make the fluidity leisurelier. This sets the favorable circumstance for grater thermal transference and it reflect in the plots too.

Fluid with restricted velocity possess the grater thermal attraction time. This could be the reason behind the enhanced thermal dispersion for increasing fractional volume in addition to that technical advantage of nano particle grasping more heat which reflects in Fig. 13. Respective entropy loss as the resulting process of heat transference can be traced for the fractional volume impacts in Fig. 14 which shows the fact that the hybrid combo utilize the entropy more than the other combo.

Impact of velocity slip variable (Υ)

Figure 15 represent the fact of slippery effect which manipulates the flow rates of both fluids. Particles in the fluid plays the vital role in dominating the slippery assistance provided for the fluid. This makes the overall fluidity slower than usual. As like to the above results Fig. 16 shows that, the thermal dispersal seems to be in the higher side for elevated values of slip constraints because of the slowness provides enough time to grasp more form it. Strength of the particle to assist more thermal transference process leads to elevate more entropy process and the more energy drains occurs which can be evident in Fig. 17.

Impact of suction (S>0)/injection (S<0) constraints

Suction/Injection constrain provides us to control the fluidity of the flow fluids at the first place. Flow problems over the permeable surface has such privileges to manipulate the fluidity either by suction out or injecting in the flow in the system. Through this fluidity, the control over the thermal and entropy aspects are possible as for the previous discussion are concerned. Figures 18, 19 and 20 portray the suction (S>0) impact on fluidity, energy and entropy state, while the Figs. 21, 22 and 23 reveal the impact of inoculation (S<0).

The raise in suction constrain reflecting the fact of taking out some fluid form the system through the surface. This reduces the system fluid flow which can be viewed in Fig. 18. On other hand injecting more fluid in to the system will tends to raise the over all fluid velocity which can be depicted in Fig. 21.

Figures 19 and 20 correspondingly showcased the enriched thermal dispersion and energy loss with the assistance of slower flow by suction. For injection, improved fluidity works more and interestingly even it raise in thermal dispersion rather than the entropy loss gets elevate and these trends can be found in Figs. 22 and 23.

Upshot of the thermal radiation variable (Nr) and Eckert number (Ec)

Figures 24 and 25 reveal a state of the thermal diffusion and entropy formation respectively for the enhancing values of thermal based radiation Nr.

More thermal impact can be influenced towards the flow field thermal states. This makes the thermal transference to work more to remove those added thermal inflows which reflects in Fig. 24. Among the two class of flow fluids Fig. 25 reflects the fact that of TiO2–Cu/EG hybrid class of nanofluid holds the upper hand while compared to Cu–EG nanofluid. Portrays the minimal impact of thermal radiation constrain Nr over the entropy formation.

Figures 26 and 27 respectively assist to explore the mass transportation aspects towards the Thermal and entropy traces of the system for fluids together. Enhancement in thermal and entropy aspects can be evident for the both class of flow fluids. Additional thermal transference provides favorable circumstances for the better energy loss in the irreversible mode. The entropy gets triggered by such a heated environment can be viewed in Fig. 27.

Impact of variable thermal conductivity (λ)

Compared with the thermal ability of nano and hybrid combinations, the individual variation in the thermal conductivity λ seems to be dominated in both thermal and entropy aspects. This reflects in both Figs. 28 and 29 represent the influence of variable thermal conductivity parameter λ over the thermal status and entropy formation. Even though the varying parameter tends to elevate both the thermal and entropy ranges, the thinner thermal layers and closer entropy variation tend to prove the nominal impact of λ. In both these parametrical behaviours, TiO2–Cu/EG hybrid class fluid underplays the Cu–EG nano class fluid.

Impact of the Biot number (Bi)

Augmented heat in the convectively heated progress, the Biot number (Bi) representation looks inevitable while the region of interest were underwent the Newtonian heating. The thermal state of the flow environment gets boosted with those extra heat which was exerted for the higher values of Biot numbers. Figures 30 and 31 shows the parametrical impact with the both combos. In both the cases, the significant improvement in thermal transference progress simultaneously escalates the energy loss too. This reflects in enriched entropy formation for higher convective flows.

Entropy disparities for Reynolds number (Re) and Brinkman number (Br)

Raise in thermal state due to the physical aspects of improved fluidity which drives more heat from the surface reflects through the situation of improved Reynolds number (Re). On other hand, these kind of enriched irreversible energy losses could be traced with the impact of enhanced Brinkman number Br through elevated dissipative effect. Figures 32 and 33 respectively discloses such behavioral aspects Reynolds number Re and Brinkman number Br on the two class of flow fluids. Results of those two plots tends to assist the claims proposed previously above.

Parametrical study on skin friction Cf and Nusselt number Nu

The parametrical perspectives were presented in Table 6. Basically, the both kind of flow fluids are rich in viscous aspect, more such kind of factors holds the noticeable improved frictional control over the fluidity. As the reaction to such viscous flow behaviour, the thermal transference also gets improved and it could be visible through the improved Nusselt number in both class of flow fluids.

Additional parametrical influences over the frictional resistance Cf and thermal transmitting rate (Nu) were disclosed beneath the above mentioned places.

For increased values of the Weissenberg number (We) and the slip parameter Υ both tends improve while it swifts while to resist the skin friction just like greases the surface to swifts over it. Based on the other physical aspects of hydromagnetic effect (M), quality enhancement in nano class fluid through the fractional volume ϕ,ϕhnf and in/out flow motion across the surface with suction phenomena (S>0) and injection happening for S<0. In the frictional aspects most parameters hold the upper hand o raise it in both the class of fluids. Comparatively, TiO2–Cu/EG undergoes to the larger frictional rates rather than the further mono suspended Cu–EG nanofluid.

Predominant objective of working with the improved class of flow fluids are towards the expectations of enhanced thermal transference rates. Nusselt number are the hotspots to get such clear insights about the thermal performance of the flow fluids under various parametrical circumstances. Because of it improve nature TiO2–Cu/EG hybrid class of combinations holds better performance rather than the Cu–EG nanofluid in most aspects. Parameter like suction, fractional volume, radiation and Newtonian heating are shows the favourable phases towards the heat transmitting process. Meanwhile, Weissenberg number (We), magnetic parameter M, slip parameter Υ, Eckert number Ec and the variable thermal conductivity parameter λ are shows the retarding phase over the Nusselt number.

Concluding outputs and impending direction

In this article, we shows a computational analysis of tangent hyperbolic hybrid nanofluid boundary-layer flowing with thermal transport and entropy production. The study subjected to the MHD, flexible heat conductiveness, shape feature, Joule heating, viscous dissipation, entropy formation and thermally influenced radiative possessions. Similarity conversions are used for non-linear partial-differential formulas, relating fluidity and thermal transference models, to convert them into non-linear ordinary-differential formulas (ODEs). The transformed ODEs are hence resolved by utilizing the Keller–Box method numerical method for numerous evolving constraints. The computational outcomes presented in this work are new and may help to control the entropy generation in heat transfer procedures. Following are the important findings of our analysis:

  1. Fluidity features of hybrid and nano fluids across the field were hurdled by a majority of the physical parameters except for the injection parameter (S<0). Other parameters like the Weissenberg number (We), fractional volumes ϕ,ϕhnf and the suction parameter (S>0) tends to lay obstacles to the flowing fluid.

  2. Thermal behavior investigation has key thermal influencing constraints of the work. Among those, excluding the suction parameter (S>0) parameter all other vital parameters were on the favoring side of gathering the possible amount of heat from the surface which makes the elevated thermal state in the distributive region.

  3. Detailed scrutiny on entropy development connected to this effort delivers the list of supporting constraints for entropy as Weissenberg number (We), magnetic parameter M, fractional volumes ϕ,ϕhnf, injection parameter (S<0), thermal radiation parameter Nr, variable thermal conductivity parameter λ, Biot number Bi, shape variation parameter m, Reynolds number Re and Brinkman number Br. Whereas the entropy gets resisted for slip Υ and suction parameter (S>0).

  4. Beyond the fluid type classification, the constrains like nanofluid quality, fluid suction through surface are in the assisting phase towards the fractional impact and also towards the thermal transference rate. On other hand elastic–viscous ratio and frictional slip reacts against it.

  5. Special case of distinct impact can be observed from the parametrical studies towards the two class of flow fluids engaged in this work. In which the hydromagnetic constrain favours the frictional aspects but stays against the heat transference rate. Other parameters like Flow slip and Eckert number are stands against the thermal transference process while the radiation and Newtonian heating constraint works on opposing way.

  6. Dominance of TiO2–Cu/EG hybrid class fluid can be evident in thermal transferring aspect while compared to nano class of fluid. Rather in entropy point of view, still hybrid produces more energy drains than the Cu–EG nano class fluid.

This Work is still open to explore the various mixtures of particle in preferred ratio under various flow conditions which is suitable of the industrial problems.
