IMPACTS OF SHAPE FACTORS ON CONDUCTING FIELD AND OSCILLATORY THERMAL VARIATIONS INTO AN OPTICALLY THIN RADIANT UNSTEADY HYBRID NANOFLUID IN A CHANNEL

Numerous scientific fields have made extensive use of nanofluids for a wide variety of purposes. In recent years, nanofluids have significantly improved thermal conductivity, opening up a variety of new applications in industry and commerce. The role of porous media in the heat transport of nanoparticles is the primary focus of our investigation. The behavior of the shape factor with the hybrid nanofluid is considered. The equations that govern the given problem were solved using suitable transformations. The graphs are utilized to examine the flow model for various pertinent parameters. The obtained graphical results and table values show a keen relationship between the temperature and the velocity against the variations of the radiation parameter, porous medium, shape factor, Reynolds number, Grashof number, and other variables. The Péclet number and thermal radiation parameter are found to have a negative impact on the fluid's temperature and velocity, as indicated by the visual representation of the solutions. Viscous forces slow the flow of the fluid, while buoyant forces predominate. In contrast to spherical-shaped nanoparticles, blade-shaped nanoparticles exhibit the greatest increase in temperature and velocity. The heat is transferred from the fluid to the plate. In contrast to spherical-shaped nanoparticles, blade-shaped nanoparticles exhibit the greatest increase in velocity by 1.61%. An optimum rate of heat transfers of up to 189.805% and 86.96% is obtained at the plates y = 0 and y = 1, respectively. In the absence of a porous medium, the hybrid nanofluid maximizes its heat and volume flow rate by approximately 1.97% and 1.986%, thereby aiding in controlled flow and thermal management within the channel.
