Numerical treatment with Lobatto IIIA technique for radiative flow of MHD hybrid nanofluid (Al2O3—Cu/H2O) over a convectively heated stretchable rotating disk with velocity slip effects

This study investigates the transportation of mass and heat in the 3D flow of hybrid nanofluids over a rotating disk in the presence of uniform magnetic field acting along the transverse direction to the flow. Water is being used as a base fluid mixed with nanoparticles of aluminum oxide and copper. The mathematical model of the nano-fluidic problem in terms of partial differential equations (PDEs) is formulated by considering the velocity slip at the boundary and heat transport mechanism due to thermal convection and radiation effects. Suitable similarity transformations are being used to transform the governing system of PDEs into a system of nonlinear ordinary differential equations. The transformed model is then analyzed by employing the competency of the Lobatto IIIA technique. Numerical and graphical illustrations are presented for the analysis of different flow parameters by varying velocities and temperature profiles. The behavior of heat transfer rate and coefficient skin friction is also studied numerically for the presented flow model.
