On Mixed Convection Squeezing Flow of Nanofluids

In this article, the impact of effective Prandtl number model on 3D incompressible flow in a rotating channel is proposed under the influence of mixed convection. The coupled nonlinear system of partial differential equations is decomposed into a highly nonlinear system of ordinary differential equations with aid of suitable similarity transforms. Then, the solution of a nonlinear system of ordinary differential equations is obtained numerically by using Runge-Kutta-Fehlberg (RKF) method. Furthermore, the surface drag forceCfand the rate of heat transferNuare portrayed numerically. The effects of different emerging physical parameters such as Hartmann number (M), Reynold's number (Re), squeezing parameter (beta), mixed convection parameter lambda, and volume fraction (phi) are also incorporated graphically for gamma-alumina. Due to the higher viscosity and thermal conductivity ethylene-based nanofluids, it is observed to be an effective common base fluid as compared to water. These observations portrayed the temperature of gamma-alumina ethylene-based nanofluids rising on gamma-alumina water based nanofluids.
