Abstract

Presently the engineers and scientists have received much attention about the mechanism of heat transport in various industrial processes. Base liquids like water, vegetable oils, transformer oil and ethylene glycol are essential for many industrial processes. These cover the major areas of thermal transport of great interest. An important issue occurs about low thermal conductivity of fluids in some industrial processes. This leads to development of important aspect of nanotechnology. Remarkable importance of nanotechnology is to upgrade the heat transport mechanism in various heat transferring devices (to make them efficient). Therefore, such effectiveness in mind, magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) rotating flow of ethylene glycol based hybrid nanofluid between two permeable boundaries is addressed. Gold (Au) and Zinc (Zn) are taken as the nanoparticles. Ethylene glycol (EG) is taken as the base material. The two boundaries have different stretching rates. Fluid in presence of constant applied magnetic field is conducted. Numerical solution to the non-linear problems is developed. The velocity components and temperature are graphically analyzed. Tabulated values lead to important observations for skin friction coefficient and Nusselt number.
