Abstract

Researchers have shown interest in how hybrid nanoparticles can improve heat transfer, promoting further investigation into the regular fluid. This study examines the flow of hybrid nanoliquid flow with heat transfer on a moving plate, with a focus on Joule heating. Additionally, the aligned magnetic effect is incorporated for the analysis of Copper and Aluminum oxide nanoparticles combined with water as a base fluid. The PDE’s complexity was reduced via a similarity transformation into an ODE system that was numerically solved for different values of governing parameters using the Keller box method. There is a unique solution available against λ>0, while two solutions are available for λC<λ≤0. Additionally, it was observed that the magnetic factor enhances the energy transmission performance and increases the critical value, while no impact of the Eckert number. The outcomes of this problem are novel and innovative, with numerous practical applications in industry and engineering.
