Numerical Solution for Radiative Hybrid Nanofluid in a Thin Film Flow Pass an Unsteady Stretching Sheet

This paper investigated hybrid nanofluid in thin film flow pass an unsteady stretching sheet under the radiation influence. The present work focused on the thermal radiation with special reference to two different water-based hybridized nanoparticles due to the interest in the practical implications of heat transfer phenomenon to the industrial and manufacturing processes. The two-dimensional boundary layer partial differential equations of the model are reduced to a system of nonlinear differential equations by applying appropriate similarity transformations subjected to the respective boundary conditions. The reduced equations are numerically solved by MATLAB solver, namely bvp4c which is a collocation method. The effect of variations of parameters such as unsteadiness parameter, radiation, the volume concentration of two nanoparticles on the model is considered in this work. The numerical solutions are presented in the form of tables and simulated by the graphs with respect to velocity profiles and temperature profiles with the variation of parameters. The results are discussed in details with the aid of the simulations obtained by the solver.
