Hybrid nanoparticles possess better chemical stability, mechanical resistance, thermal conductivity, physical strength and so forth as equated to pure nanoparticles. The present work describes the novel features of hybrid nanoparticles such as Titanium oxide (TiO2) and Copper (Cu) in the flow of Ethylene glycol (EG) under the induced magnetic field environment. The analysis covers the features of both pure nanofluid Cu/EG and hybrid nanofluid Cu-TiO2/EG. The concentration equation is amended by the activation energy term. The amalgamation of Cu-TiO2/EG exhibits improved and embellished thermal characteristics. A persuasive numerical technique named “Successive over Relaxation” is used to...

An enhancement in heat transfer due to nanofluids is essentially required in various thermal systems. Hybrid nanofluids possess high thermal conductivity and, have ability to embellish and enhance the thermal strength of common fluids. Our concern in this paper is to examine the innovative attributes of hybrid nanofluids like Manganese zinc ferrite (MnZnFe2O4) and Nickel zinc ferrite (NiZnFe2O4) in the bio-convective flow of motile gyrotactic microorganisms subject to Darcy Forchheimer medium. The effect of activation energy has also been taken into account. Mathematical treatment is carried out via MATLAB software. The use of MnZnFe2O4 - NiZnFe2O4/H2O exhibits improved thermal... 

The present work reports the outcome of a comprehensive parametric study on mixed electroosmotically and pressure-driven flow in slit microchannels with constant wall heat fluxes. Special attention is given to disclose the applicability ranges of usual assumptions in simplified analyses. The governing equations for fully developed conditions are first made dimensionless and then solved by means of an implicit finite difference method. The results reveal that the assumption of constant thermophysical properties does not leadto significant errors in practical applications. Although the Debye-Huckel linearization may successfully be used to evaluate velocity profiles up to the zeta potentials...
