MHD Mixed Convection flow of a hybrid nanofluid over an inclined plate in a porous medium using the Reduced Differential Transform Method

Resumen

This research investigates the aligned magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) mixed convective flow behaviour of a hybrid nanoliquid due to an inclined permeable plate. A hybrid nanoliquid, consisting of water as the base fluid with dispersed copper and aluminum oxide nanoparticles, is subjected to an aligned magnetic field that alters its flow behaviour. The flow is further influenced by constant wall temperature boundary conditions. The partial differential equations (PDEs) are reduced to a set of ordinary differential equations (ODEs) through similarity variables. The resulting equations are then solved using the reduced differential transform method (RDTM), and the solutions are validated through comparison with numerical results to ensure their accuracy and consistency. Graphical representations depict the influence of many parameters on the velocity and temperature profiles, as well as on the skin friction coefficient and Nusselt number. The results demonstrate that an increase in the alignment angle of the magnetic field elevates the velocity and decreases the temperature within the flow, concurrently augmenting the magnetic interaction and mixed convection characteristics.
