Thermodynamic activity of a ternary nanofluid flow passing through a permeable slipped surface with heat source and sink

Abstract

Interaction of nanoparticles with fluids is receiving considerable interest in the area of nanotechnology research. The purpose of this research is to see how a ternary nanofluid performs over a slippery surface. The energy equation is used to explain the heat source/sink effect. As a novel feature of the article, suction, slip effect, and convective boundary conditions are incorporated at the wall. The physical flow problem is formulated using boundary layer equations, which are then transformed into dimensionless forms by employing appropriate variables. Using the RKF-45 approach and the shooting operation, numerical solutions of transmuted equations are obtained. The proposed framework was validated against the available data and found to be relatively accurate. Investigation confesses that enhanced values of the suction parameter decelerate the temperature, whereas slip, Biot number and heat source/sink parameter accelerate the temperature. Further, ternary nanofluid shows a high rate of thermal distribution than hybrid and mano nanofluid. These results reflect a diverse range of practical applications, such as transportation cooling, petroleum resource recovery, wastewater disposal, thermal insulation, and geothermal systems.
