The investigation of heat and mass transfer between two porous disks containing porous media is the focus of this paper. In this research, (Ag–Al2O3/water)-based hybrid nanofluid is used. Governing partial differential equations are converted to nonlinear ordinary differential equations by similarity transformations. Numerical solutions to nonlinear systems of equations are achieved using the shooting technique. It is examined how the particle's diameter and nanolayer thickness affect the thermal conductivity of a hybrid nanofluid. Due to the increment of nanolayer thickness, the Nusselt number increases and vice versa for the radius of the particle. Tables and graphs show how the governing parameters influence velocity, temperature, and mass concentration profiles, as well as physical quantities such as skin friction coefficient and Nusselt number. As the values of the porous medium parameters ( P m = 7 –13) and nanolayer thickness (h = 4 –12) elevate, the flow of skin friction coefficient and Nusselt number escalate in both porous disks. Moreover, as the values of the particle radius (r = 9 % to 12%) and Reynolds number (Re = − 1 to 2) amplify, the flow of heat transfer rate is diminished in the lower disk. Porous materials have a high surface area, which increases the contact area between the nanofluids and the porous medium. Porous materials can enhance the permeability of the fluid, reducing the pressure drop in the system. This can be advantageous in applications where high flow rates and low-pressure drops are desired, such as in heat exchangers or cooling systems. Porous materials can provide trapping sites or adhesion points for the nanoparticles, enhancing their dispersion and stability within the hybrid nanofluids. The porosity of the flow medium can therefore influence the purification and filtration efficiency of the hybrid nanofluids, ensuring their cleanliness and functionality. Understanding and controlling the porosity can help optimize the flow characteristics of the nanofluids in various applications. Overall this field will focus on refining hybrid nanofluid compositions, improving modeling techniques, validating experimental findings, optimizing system designs, and exploring new applications.

The movement of biological fluids in the human body is a premium field of interest to overcome growing biomedical challenges. Blood behavior shows different behavior in capillaries, veins, and arteries during circulation. In this paper, a new mathematical relation for the nano-layer of biological fluids flows with the effect of TiO2 and Ag hybrid nanoparticles was developed. Further, we explain the engineering phenomena of biological fluids and the role of hybrid nanoparticles in the blood vessel system. The improvement of drug delivery systems by using low seepage Reynolds number was associated with expansion/contraction and was discussed in detail through the rectangular domain. Using similarity transformation, the governing equations were converted into non-linear ordinary differential equations, and the mathematical problem was solved by employing the numerical shooting method. Plots of momentum, temperature, skin friction coefficient, as well as the Nusselt number on different non-dimensionless parameters are displayed via lower/upper porous walls of the channel. It was analyzed that the walls of the channel showed different results on magnetized physical parameters. Values of thermophoresis and the Brownian motion flow of the heat transfer rate gradually increased on the upper wall and decreased on the lower wall of the channel. The important thing is that the hybrid nanoparticles, rather than nano, were more useful for improving thermal conductivity, heat transfer rate, and the nano-layer. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Three-dimensional flow via swirling porous disks and an annular sector is carried out using fully developed hybrid nanofluids. Here, a single-phase simulation based on thermophysical characteristics using various nanoparticle sizes and shapes is taken into account. A regression function connected with the permeable Reynolds number for injection and suction was created. We used the well-known and accurate "shooting approach" to apply to the governing, nonlinear, ordinary differential equation systems to obtain numerical results. Additionally, parametric research was employed to control the impact of embedded flow factors on concentration, velocity, and temperature. While the physical features of the bottom and upper disks, such as the skin friction coefficient and Nusselt number, are provided in a table, their characterization of the flow of several regulatory flow parameters, such as fluid velocity and temperature, is depicted graphically. The experimental range of nanoparticle fractions of 1% to 4% is considered with the Nusselt number having notable effects at φ = 4%. Both walls demonstrate the effects of an increase in injection factor, shear stress, and tensile stress. As the Eckert number rises at the lower wall, the rate of heat transfer dramatically increases, and the opposite is true for the upper wall. The rate of heat transmission is significantly impacted by the addition of different base fluids containing various kinds of nanoparticles. The aforementioned research created a solid foundation for the development of electronic computers with an emphasis on nanotechnology and biomedical devices. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this paper, we investigate the novel properties of the cluster interfacial nanolayer theory for a thermal conductivity-based model. Under the influence of magnetohydrodynamics, the interaction of nanomaterials aggregation of metallic oxide nanomaterials with base fluid is explored. This paper discusses a specific form of new low permeability Reynolds number connected with an injection/suction factor related to an absorbent channel. A numerical simulation of higher-order nonlinear differential equations reveals the momentum flow and energy fields predicted by single-phase nanofluid simulations. Shear stress and Nusselt numbers were used to determine the effect of nanoparticle radius and diameter. Insertion of the metallic nanoparticles volume fraction level from 1% to 8% enhances the thermal performance at lower and upper porous walls respectively. Injection/suction and MHD have to decrease and increase behavior respectively in the presence of spherical nanoparticles. Interfacial nanolayer formation has a substantial impact on thermal conductivity performance. Comparing calculated findings to published literature validates their correctness. Graphs are generated to analyze the impact of flow parameters on velocity and temperature profiles. In tabular and graphical style, the effects of all physical factors are explored on the skin friction coefficient and the local Nusselt number. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
