Increasing the efficiency of a thermal system is important in a wide variety of technological contexts, such as vehicle cooling systems, power production, microelectronics, heat exchangers, and air conditioning. The current study examines a boundary layer two‐dimensional inclined magnetohydrodynamic flow of a ternary hybrid nanofluid across a stretching sheet that includes MgO,TiO2,andCoFe2O4${\mathrm{MgO}}, {\mathrm{TiO}}_{\mathrm{2}}, {\mathrm{and}}\ {\mathrm{CoFe}}_{\mathrm{2}}{{\mathrm{O}}}_{\mathrm{4}}$ nanoparticles. These nanoparticles are combined with water as the base fluid to form a ternary hybrid nanofluid. The present work aims to analyze the impact of several slip conditions utilizing Arrhenius' activation energy along with the binary chemical reaction on the flow profiles. To characterize the model, a system of partial differential equations (PDEs) is utilized. With the assistance of similarity transformations, the given PDEs of the form are converted into ordinary differential equations. The leading equations are subjected to boundary layer theory, and then the system is numerically tackled with the help of the built‐in numerical approach bvp4c. Results obtained from this numerical solution are presented in graphs and tables which are discussed briefly. The results indicate that there is a downward trend in the velocity profile if the enhancement occurs in both the velocity slip and the magnetic component. A lower temperature is achieved through the use of the temperature slip parameters. In addition, it turned out that a rise in the Eckert number caused an upswing in the surface temperature of a sheet. The activation energy escalates the concentration profile, while the Schmidt number and chemical reaction rate both are falls. The Sherwood number improved when the values of Brownian motion and thermophoresis factors enlarged while the local Nusselt number became lower. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Nanoparticles have the capability to augment the thermal conductivity of nanofluids. For the transmission of heat, the material's low thermal conductivity is the key problem. Therefore, to increase the thermal conductivity, researchers mixed different nanoparticles in the base fluids. In this field of study, utilizing three different particles is the most recent strategy to form a ternary hybrid nanofluid that gives us better results in terms of heat transfer. The interaction of three different kinds of nanoparticles, i.e. copper, alumina and silver, is considered with water serving as the base fluid to form a ternary hybrid nanofluid. The paper explores the behavior of ternary hybrid nanofluids on heat and mass transportation phenomena of the two-dimensional magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) micropolar flow across a porous extending surface with zero mass flux and convective conditions. The Brownian motion, thermal radiation, heat source and sink, and joule heating are taken into consideration in the temperature equation. The chemical reaction is incorporated into the concentration equation. Appropriate similarity transformations are used to transform the system of partial differential equations (PDEs) to a coupled system of ordinary differential equations (ODEs). The homotopy analysis method (HAM) is used to solve the system of the flow equations. The effects of the nanoparticle's volume fractions and other different physical parameters on the surface drag force, Nusselt number, velocities, microrotation, temperature and concentration profiles are scrutinized through figures and tables. The outcomes of the present investigation show that the heat transfer rate is augmented with the increasing value of thermophoresis parameter. The magnetic field has augmented temperature while the opposite result is seen in velocity and microrotation profiles. With the escalating values of thermophoresis parameter, the concentration and temperature of ternary hybrid nanofluids are boosted while the increasing Brownian and chemical reaction parameters have decreased the concentration profile. The surface friction coefficient exhibited by the ternary hybrid nanofluid is higher than hybrid and conventional nanofluids. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Hybrid nanofluids, which are used in nanotechnology, are advanced fluid classes with enriched thermal properties that produce superior outcomes than nanofluids. There are too many applications of hybrid nanofluids in engineering cosmetics, the automotive industry, the home industry, cancer treatment, textiles, paper plastics, paints, and soaps. The purpose of this study is to investigate the heat transfer rate of magnetohydrodynamic flow of Casson hybrid non‐Newtonian nanofluid across an enlarging surface. The current work focuses on magnetohydrodynamic hybrid nanoliquid flow across an extending 3‐D sheet. Additionally, zero mass flux and an adequate convective heating procedure are used as boundary conditions in this investigation. Blood serves as the base fluid, into which copper and alumina nanoparticles are dissolved to form a hybrid nanofluid. Adjusting the applicable similarity transformation, the present modeled equations are converted into dimensionless form. The Homotopy analysis approach (HAM) computes the resulting systems and illustrates them graphically to explain the flow behavior at the extending electrically conducting surface. Additionally, for changes in the non‐dimensional physical constraint values, the variations in physical quantities such as the skin friction, temperature, Nusselt number and velocity profiles are explained. The results of the current investigation demonstrated that a magnetic field and a non‐Newtonian parameter reduce the hybrid nanoliquid's velocity. The temperature profile goes up with thermophoresis and Brownian motion. The x−$x - $ component of velocity is found to fall as the stretching ratio parameter rises, while the component of velocity in the y−$y - $ direction experiences the opposite impact. When the parameters of a chemical reaction are adjusted upwards, the concentration profile deteriorates. It is originated that the rate at which heat is transferred by hybrid nanofluids is significantly more progressive than that of nanofluids. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
