Abstract

The growing demand of efficient energy systems has driven integration of modern nanofluid suspensions capable of overcoming the traditional thermal limitations. In this contest, the hybridization of aluminum nitride (AIN) and alumina nanoparticles (Al 2 O 3 ) provide a promising pathway to the attain boosted thermal stability and energy efficiency, making it attractive for the modern engineering and energy applications. With such motivation, this continuation aims to presents the optimized thermal impact of Casson hybrid nanofluid (HNF) with suspension of aluminum nitride (AIN) and alumina nanoparticles (Al 2 O 3 ). The base fluid properties of analyzed by using engine oil (SAE10W-30) base liquid which is essentially used energy production and automobile industries. A single-phase nanofluid model is used to model the hybrid nanofluid problem. The modelling associated to single-phase nanofluid provide significance applications in micro and nano-scale cooling systems, microchannel heat applications, heat exchangers etc. The flow is driven by oscillatory elastic surface with permeability of porous media. The investigation of heat transfer is subject to nonlinear thermal radiation. In order to capture the propagation wave features, the energy and concentration equations are updated by using the Cattaneo-Christov model. The analytical simulations of modeled equations are performed by using the homotopy analysis method. The significance of modeled flow parameters is physical entertained. It is observed that velocity profile declined for Casson fluid parameter and permeability of porous medium. The thermal enhancement of engine oil can be enhanced by increasing nanoparticles volume fraction. Moreover, skin friction coefficient periodically varies with increasing amplitude by enhancing Hartmann number. The simulated results comprise significance in advanced heat exchangers, renewable energy systems, automobile engine cooling, turbine blade cooling, and energy storage units.
