The nanofluid, which is a novel sort of heat transfer
fluid, is created by suspending a single type of
oxide and metallic nanoparticles, as well as
nonmetallic carbon nanotubes, in carrier liquids
including water, ethylene glycol, and oil, with a
size of less than (). In comparison
to heat transfer liquids, the nanoliquid created by
the solid nanoparticles suspended in the base
liquids would have a higher thermal conductivity.
These solid nanoparticles also possess favorable
thermophysical properties. Additionally, nanofluids
are widely used in a wide range of industrial and
biomedical processes, including the production of
glass fiber, metal spinning, the removal of tumors
that cause hyperthermia, lubricant, the treatment of
asthma, cable drawing, electronic devices, nuclear
reactors, immunological synergy, chilling process,
transportation, and power generation. Because of
this, many researchers are interested in studying the
flow of nanofluids over various geometries when
various physical and chemical processes are
present. The notion of nanofluid was first
introduced in [1], who also illustrated the physical
characteristics of nanoparticles. The stagnation
point stream of nanoliquid across a stretching
cylinder was investigated by [2]. A study on the
effect of activation energy in the presence of a fluid
stream and the suspension of nanoparticles [3].
However, nanofluids were unable to provide the
high heat transfer rate that large-scale
manufacturing companies demanded, and this is
where the heat transfer process became extremely
complex.
To overcome this limitation, hybrid nanoliquids
are used instead of fluid suspended with single-kind
nanoparticles. Different forms of liquids are
produced when numerous kinds of minute
nanoparticles come together to form hybrid
nanoliquids. These fluids are used in solar energy
storage applications, the automotive industry, brake
fluids for vehicles, and tubular heat exchangers.
The numerical simulation of a water-based hybrid
nanofluid flow over a curved stretching sheet,
considering the Newtonian heating effect, was
recently explained in [4]. Through an annulus, [5]
examined the effects of radiation on the hybrid
nanofluid stream. Information on the hybrid
nanoliquid stream passing through a cylinder [6].
[7] discussed the impact of slippage on a water-
based hybrid nanoliquid stream flowing across a
curved surface. Recently, examination of how
hybrid nanoliquid flow behaves when it passes over
an elastic sheet [8].
One important component of a liquid’s flow
across a media is its fluid rheology, which may be
divided into two primary classes: Newtonian and
non-Newtonian. The essential qualification
between the non-Newtonian and Newtonian fluid
models is the utilitarian relationship between shear
push and shear rate. In differentiating to non-
Newtonian fluids, Newtonian fluids don’t show
abdicate push. These fluids are widely used in
nuclear reactors, food processing, paint and
adhesives, drilling rigs, and cooling systems,
among other industrial and engineering domains.
One of the most significant rheological non-
Newtonian fluid models used in the production of
biological fluids, paints, and pharmaceuticals is the
Casson fluid. Casson fluid is widely used in the
drilling, food processing, and metallurgy industries,
which makes rheological research on it crucial.
The authors in [9] investigated the MHD flow
of nanofluids between parallel plates. The
investigation of the incompressible flow of a
nanofluid between parallel plates using ohmic
heating settings was also explored [10].
Thermophoresis is the transfer of tiny particles
from a high-temperature to a low-temperature
environment. This phenomenon has various
practical applications, such as following the
trajectories of exhaust gas particles from burning
devices, collecting microscopic particles from gas
flows, and studying the deposition of particulate
matter on turbine blades. Several scholars have
investigated this phenomenon over the previous
few decades, taking into consideration various
biological repercussions. The authors [11]
examined the thermophoretic deposition of aerosol
particles on a liquid stream passing over a cylinder.
[12] wrote about particle deposition on the axial
stream of liquid over a cylinder. In literature [13].
Investigated the key aspects of thermophoretic
particle deposition and the Soret-Dufour impact on
the fluid stream over a revolving disk.
The research cited above leads one to the
conclusion that there hasn’t been much discussion
of Casson hybrid nanoliquid flow between two
parallel plates in the presence of particle deposition
and a heat source or sink. Therefore, under the
influence of thermophoretic particle deposition and
a heat source or sink, the stream of non-Newtonian
Casson liquid containing hybrid ferrite
nanoparticles between
two parallel plates is examined in this work.
