Abstract

Heat transportation advancement in liquid is a crucial work which can be easily obtained via utilization of hybrid nanoparticles. Therefore, main concern of the current article is to address the entropy aspects in Dracy-Forchheimer flow of hybrid nanomaterials (kerosene oil, SWCNT and MWCNT). The novel features of Xue's which is modified and implemented for flow physical empirical relations (thermal conductivity, density and specific heat). Furthermore, entropy concept is utilized to estimate the frame of analysis disorderness. The transformed expressions have been computed through numerical scheme after conversion to ODEs by dimensionless variables. Graphical illustrations and tables are made to investigate the effects of noteworthy embedding variables on various distributions. Moreover, detailed analysis for temperature and velocity gradients against pertinent parameters at the surface is provided. Obtained findings reflect that temperature upgraded for both nanoliquid and hybrid nanoliquid by rising Eckert number and heat source parameter, whereas an opposite features is pointed out for gradient of temperature. It is also perceived that skin friction escalates for inertia coefficient, rotation parameter and porosity parameter. There is remarkable increase for SWCNT-MWCNT/kerosene oil hybrid nanofluid when compared with SWCNT/kerosene oil nanoliquid. Overall, hybrid nano phase has an incredible effect in comparison to nanomaterials.
