Analysis of MHD Trihybrid Casson-Williamson Nanofluid Flow Over a Porous Stretching Sheet with Cattaneo-Christov Heat Flux and Concentration Effects-Xue Model Perspective

The research investigates incompressible, time-invariant, magnetohydrodynamic (MHD), ternary Casson-Williamson nanofluid flow over extending surface. The medium porosity and slip effects in combination with Cattaneo-Christov thermal model influence the sheet. The ternary nanofluid is formulated by suspending titanium dioxide, silver and copper in water. The sheet is undergoing vertical stretching, allowing the gravitational force to create free convection. It is postulated that heat source/sink as well as radiation effects are present to adjust the energy equation with practical scenarios. Furthermore, the dynamics of concentration distribution subjected to the Arrhenius activation energy is also catered. This configuration of fluid flow is expressed mathematically as partial differential equations (PDEs). Shooting method is implemented after conversion of equations to the dimensionless ordinary differential equations (ODEs) form. The key findings reveal that an augmentation in parameters like the silver nanoparticles concentration and radiation parameter results in temperature surge. Moreover, the magnetic and porosity parameter growth has an adverse impact on the velocity behavior. The skin friction is also observed to boost due to an increased concentration of silver nanoparticles. This research holds significant promise across multiple domains including polymer extrusion, biomedical flows, high-performance electronics, renewable energy systems, metallurgy, mining and mineral processing.
