EMHD CONVECTION OF A TRIHYBRID NANOFLUID THROUGH A POROUS MEDIUM IN A VERTICAL CHANNEL WITH THERMAL RADIATION

Electromagnetic hydrodynamic (EMHD) convection of trihybrid nanofluid (THNF) is investigated in this paper, i.e. fluid in which three types of nanoparticles were inserted. This THNF flows through a porous medium located in a vertical channel, the walls of which are at constant but different temperatures. The channel is under the influence of external electric and magnetic fields. Viscous dissipation, Joule radiation, Darcy dissipation and thermal radiation are included in the energy equation. Analytical solutions were obtained for the THNF velocity and temperature distributions, as well as Nusselt numbers and shear stresses on the channel walls. Part of the obtained results is presented in the form of graphs and tables, and the effects of various introduced physical parameters on velocity, temperature, Nusselt numbers and shear stresses are analyzed.
