Abstract

Presented work concerns with investigation of hybrid nanomaterial (SWCNTs + CuO + Ethylene glycol) flow over curved nonlinear stretched sheet. Heat transfer features are emphasized through Newtonian heating and viscous dissipation. Coupled nonlinear ODEs are constructed from the flow field equations (Continuity Eq., Momentum Eq. and Energy Eq.) by mean of adequate transformations. Such resulting nonlinear ODEs are then converted into system of 1st-order ODEs and solved via shooting technique using RK-4 algorithms (bvp4c). Impacts of emerging flow parameters on temperature, skin friction coefficient, velocity and Nusselt number are illustrated graphically. Also comparison among hybrid nanofluid (SWCNTs + CuO + Ethylene glycol), nanofluid (SWCNTs + Ethylene glycol) and basefluid (Ethylene glycol) is performed.
