The major purpose of this study is to observe the flow properties of an electrically conducting hybrid nanofluid (HNF) consist of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and iron ferrite (Fe3O4) nanoparticles (nps) passes through a linearly expanded sheet with the slip velocity. The non‐Newtonian fluid models provide a better insight of the flow and heat allocation properties of nanofluids. For this purpose, we have used a Maxwell nanoliquid as the basis fluid in our experiment, with an inclined magnetic field applied to the flow direction. The flow regulating equations are turned into a system of non‐dimensional differential equations via resemblance substitutions. The computational procedure "parametric continuation method" (PCM) has been used to compute the velocity, energy, and mass of the HNF. The statistical results are displayed through graphs and tables. Maxwell parameter, porosity, and velocity slip tend to minimize HNF velocity, while its temperature rises with the action of thermal radiation, inclined magnetic field, unsteadiness variable, and viscous dissipation. Furthermore, the porous medium's penetration has a greater influence on the reduction of nanofluid velocity. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The purpose of this research article is to investigate the impact of magnetic dipole on the flow of nano-fluids over the stretching surface with variable viscosity and thermal conductivity. Fluid fills the porous space. Heat transfer analysis is carried out in the presence of Newtonian heating. Water and ethylene glycol are used as base fluid while gamma alumina acts as a nanoparticle. System of ordinary differential equations is obtained by appropriate transformations. Numerical solutions are computed for the resulting nonlinear differential system by applying shooting method with RK-4 scheme. Impact of different parameters on the velocity and temperature profiles is examined. Computations for surface drag force and heat transfer rates are presented and examined for the influences of pertinent parameters. It is observed that fluid velocity reduces for larger viscosity parameter while opposite behavior is observed for temperature. Increasing values of ferro hydrodynamic interaction parameter and Curie temperature correspond to the enhancement in temperature. Surface drag force increases for larger values of nanoparticles volume fraction. Gamma alumina-ethylene glycol nano-fluid produce less surface drag force than gamma alumina-water nano-fluid. Heat transfer rate is increasing function of Prandtl number. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
