Abstract

In this article, the impact of effective Prandtl number model on 3D incompressible flow in a rotating channel is proposed under the influence of mixed convection. The coupled nonlinear system of partial differential equations is decomposed into a highly nonlinear system of ordinary differential equations with aid of suitable similarity transforms. Then, the solution of a nonlinear system of ordinary differential equations is obtained numerically by using Runge–Kutta–Fehlberg (RKF) method. Furthermore, the surface drag force C f and the rate of heat transfer N u are portrayed numerically. The effects of different emerging physical parameters such as Hartmann number (M), Reynold’s number (Re), squeezing parameter ( β ), mixed convection parameter λ , and volume fraction ( φ ) are also incorporated graphically for γ — alumina. Due to the higher viscosity and thermal conductivity ethylene-based nanofluids, it is observed to be an effective common base fluid as compared to water. These observations portrayed the temperature of gamma-alumina ethylene-based nanofluids rising on gamma-alumina water based nanofluids.
