Melting heat transport reliability on dynamics of tri-hybrid nanofluid due to inclined shrinking surface

The majority of current research has focused on ternary hybrid nanofluids because of their potential to enhance the fluid's hydrodynamic and thermal properties. These nanofluids have improved heat transfer capability for enhancing and maintaining the requirement for renewable and energy-efficient options. However, it is essential to model and study ternary hybrid nanofluids before their use in industry as heat-transferring fluids. In this numerical work, ternary hybrid nanofluids containing zinc, titanium dioxide, and aluminum oxide submerged in water are examined for stagnation point flow and heat transport properties. Meanwhile, the physical phenomenon for the mixed convection flow of tri-hybrid nanofluid induced by inclined shrinking cylinder is designed by considering influential physical factors in the form of Darcy-Forchheimer relation, Melting surface, and partial slip. The complexity of the produced partial differential equation model reduces into similarity differential equations by similarity transformation. The resulting equations are programmed in MATLAB and processed using the bvp4c function to attain the results graphically. According to the graphical results, two solutions are possible under a shrinking condition, and the flow separates inside this region. According to the numerical results, the first solution has a lower friction drag coefficient and significantly better heat transfer performance when melting is higher and the curvature parameter is increased. The outcomes show that the fluid temperature rapidly drops when a melting parameter intensification, while for radiation and Eckert strength, the thermal distribution increases. In this investigation, the results demonstrated a high degree of consistency with relevant published studies, while setting certain factors to zero lowers the present scenario to some of the existing difficulties in the literature.
