Numerical study of hybrid nanofluid flow and heat transfer on a stretching sheet with MHD and heat generation effects.

The key goals of this manuscript are (i) to investigate the heat transfer and unsteady flow properties of a viscous hybrid nanofluid on a stretching sheet having nonzero slot velocity, and (ii) to examine the impacts of magnetic field parameter, stretching parameter, nanoparticle volume fraction, and heat generation parameter on the Nusselt number and skin friction coefficient numerically. The Tiwari‐Das nanofluid model is used. The mathematical (PDEs) equations controlling border layer flow and heat transfer are resolved by applying a numerical finite‐difference technique in the Crank Nicolson style. For the validation process, the analytical solution is established using the Laplace transform technique and is compared with the numerical solution for a particular case and found to be in superb agreement.
