The energy transport for hybrid nanofluids flow through non-parallel surfaces with converging/diverging nature is becoming important engineering topics because of its occurrence in biomedicine, cavity flow model and flow through canals, etc. Therefore, this work attempted to study the momentum and heat transport for MHD Jeffery-Hamel flow of hybrid nanofluids through converging/diverging surfaces. This analysis further evaluates the heat transport features subject to thermal radiation and nanoparticles shape factor impacts. A mathematical formulation under single phase nanofluid model with modified thermophysical properties has been carried out. The leading equations are transmuted into dimensionless form with the implementation of appropriate scaling parameters. The collocated numerical procedure coded in MATLAB is employed to acquire the numerical solutions for governing coupled non-linear differential problem. Multiple branches (first and second) are simulated for flow and temperature fields with varying values of involved physical parameters in case of convergent channel. The studies revealed that there is a significant rise in fluid velocity for higher magnetic parameter in case of divergent channel. The findings reveal that the skin-friction coefficient (drag) significantly reduces with higher Reynolds number. In addition, the heat transfer rate enhances with channel angle as well as nanoparticles volume fraction in upper branches.

混合纳米流体通过具有收敛/发散性质的非平行表面的能量传输正成为重要的工程课题,因为它出现在生物医学、腔流模型和流经管道等方面。因此,这项工作试图研究动量和热量通过会聚/发散表面传输混合纳米流体的 MHD Jeffery-Hamel 流。该分析进一步评估了受热辐射和纳米颗粒形状因子影响的热传输特征。已经进行了具有改进的热物理性质的单相纳米流体模型下的数学公式。通过实施适当的缩放参数,主要方程被转换为无量纲形式。采用MATLAB编码的并置数值程序获得控制耦合非线性微分问题的数值解。在收敛通道的情况下,对流场和温度场的多个分支(第一和第二)进行了模拟,其中涉及的物理参数值会发生变化。研究表明,在发散通道的情况下,较高的磁参数会显着提高流体速度。研究结果表明,随着雷诺数的增加,皮肤摩擦系数(阻力)显着降低。此外,传热速率随着通道角度以及上部分支中纳米颗粒的体积分数而提高。在收敛通道的情况下,对流场和温度场的多个分支(第一和第二)进行了模拟,其中涉及的物理参数值会发生变化。研究表明,在发散通道的情况下,较高的磁参数会显着提高流体速度。研究结果表明,随着雷诺数的增加,皮肤摩擦系数(阻力)显着降低。此外,传热速率随着通道角度以及上部分支中纳米粒子的体积分数而提高。在收敛通道的情况下,对流场和温度场的多个分支(第一和第二)进行了模拟,其中涉及的物理参数值会发生变化。研究表明,在发散通道的情况下,较高的磁参数会显着提高流体速度。研究结果表明,随着雷诺数的增加,皮肤摩擦系数(阻力)显着降低。此外,传热速率随着通道角度以及上部分支中纳米粒子的体积分数而提高。
