Convective Heat Transfer in MHD Couple Stress Hybrid Nanofluid Past a Horizontal Plate with Thermal Generation

Various fluids have unique traits that result in different behaviours for varied uses. One of these unique properties of fluids is the couple stress. Couple stress is the result of internal stresses that are contained in the fluid. This work presents a numerical study of convective heat transfer in a couple stress hybrid nanofluid (AA7072-AA7075/CH3OH). The use of similarity transformations ensures that the governing partial differential equations are reduced to a set of ordinary differential equations, which are solved using the bvp4c function in MATLAB. The findings showed the singular and combined impact on the thermal and hydrodynamic behaviour of the fluid. This work attempts to elucidate the optimisation of hybrid nanofluids targeted for cutting-edge engineering uses. It balances the control of parameters and the resultant thermal and flow characteristics to highlight flow and thermal behaviour.
