Abstract

In this study, we investigate the flow of electrically conducting hybrid nanofluid $(A g + C u / H_{2} O)$ , due to rotating disks, along with thermal slip, heat generation, and viscous dissipation. The nonlinear differential system is modelled and transformed into dimensionless partial differential equations using suitable dimensionless variables. To obtain solutions for the considered model, a finite difference toolkit is implemented, and numerical solutions are achieved. Graphical results are presented to display the influences of different dimensionless variables on flow velocity and temperature. This research contributes to a better understanding of hybrid nanofluid flows and can inform the design of cooling systems and other practical applications.
