Assessing the Efficacy of Hybrid Nanofluid within a Non-Newtonian Reiner-Philippoff Model, Incorporating MHD and Thermal Radiation Past a Stretching/Shrinking Sheet

Hybrid nanofluids are making waves in industry because of their superior thermal efficiency and innovative designs. Their usefulness extends to many other sectors and domains of study. The volume fraction of Cu–Al2O3 and Ag–TiO2 hybrid nanoparticles in nanofluids will be studied to determine their impact on heat transmission and flow. The study also considers the presence of heat radiation, a magnetic field, and other relevant factors. The non-Newtonian Reiner-Philippoff model was employed to investigate the flow's shear thickening and thinning properties. The combined effects of suction and a contracting surface form a boundary for the surface. The reduced partial differential equation (PDE) is solved using the MATLAB tool bvp4c following the similarity transformation method. The shrinking sheet shows that the dual solution converges to critical points, and the stability study verified that the first one is stable and physically trustworthy. The mathematical modelling developed for nanofluid hybrids has exhibited a significant impact on the overall heat flow, which can be attributed to the variation in the parameters that influence it. Enhancement in magnetic parameter (+2.26%), suction (+2.99%), and nanoparticle fractional volume of metal oxide (+0.4%) were identified as factors that accelerated heat transfer to the pioneering Cu–Al2O3 nanofluid hybrid, according to the study. Besides, the second hybrid of Ag–TiO2 nanofluids had a reduced heat transfer rate due to changes in thermal radiation (-2.14%) and Reiner parameter-Philippoff fluid (-0.14%).
