Abstract

In the present study, our aim is to present a novel model for the flow of hybrid nanofluids in oblique channels. Copper and aluminum oxide have been used to obtain a novel hybrid nanofluid. The equations that govern the flow of hybrid nanofluids have been transformed to a set of nonlinear equations with the implementation of self-similar variables. The resulting system is treated numerically by using coupled shooting and Runge–Kutta (R-K) scheme. The behavior of velocity and temperature is examined by altering the flow parameters. The cases for narrowing (convergent) and opening (divergent) channels are discussed, and the influence of various parameters on Nusselt number is also presented. To indicate the reliability of the study, a comparison is made that confirms the accuracy of the study presented.
