Abstract

The analysis of the energy transport mechanism received much attention from scientists and researchers. Conventional fluids like vegetable oils, water, ethylene glycol, and transformer oil play a vital role in numerous industrial activities. In certain industrial operations, the low heat conductivity of base fluids causes significant difficulties. This inevitably led to the advancement of critical aspects of nanotechnology. The tremendous significance of nanoscience is in improving the thermal transfer process in different heating transmitting equipment. Therefore, the MHD spinning flow of hybrid nanofluid (HNF) across two permeable surfaces is reviewed. The HNF is made of silver (Ag) and gold (Au) nanoparticles (NPs) in the ethylene glycol (EG). The modeled equations are non-dimensionalized and degraded to a set of ODEs through similarity substitution. The numerical procedure parametric continuation method (PCM) is used to estimate the 1st order set of differential equations. The significances of velocity and energy curves are derived versus several physical parameters. The results are revealed through Tables and Figures. It has been determined that the radial velocity curve declines with the varying values of the stretching parameter, Reynold number, and rotation factor while improving with the influence of the suction factor. Furthermore, the energy profile enhances with the rising number of Au and Ag-NPs in the base fluid.
