【 摘 要 】

Thermal heat generation and enhancement have been examined extensively over the past two decades, and nanofluid technology has been explored to address this issue. In the present study, we discuss the thermal heat coefficient under the influence of a rotating magneto-hydrodynamic hybrid nanofluid over an axially spinning cone for a prescribed wall temperature (PWT) case. The governing equations of the formulated problem are derived by utilizing the Rivlin–Ericksen tensor and boundary layer approximation (BLA). We introduce our suppositions to transform the highly non-linear partial differential equations into ordinary differential equations. The numerical outcomes of the problem are drafted in MATLAB with the of help the boundary value problem algorithm. The influences of several study parameters are obtained to demonstrate and analyze the magneto-hydrodynamic flow characteristics. The heat and mass transfer coefficients increase and high Nusselt and Sherwood numbers are obtained with reduced skin coefficients for the analyzed composite nanoparticles. The analyzed hybrid nanofluid (SWCNT-Ag–kerosene oil) produces reduced drag and lift coefficients and high thermal heat rates when compared with a recent study for SWCNT-MWCNT–kerosene oil hybrid nanofluid. Maximum Nusselt (Nu) and Sherwood (Sh) numbers are observed under a high rotational flow ratio and pressure gradient. Based on the results of this study, we recommend more frequent use of the examined hybrid nanofluid.
