Perspective of multiple slips on 3D flow of Al₂O₃–TiO₂–CuO/H₂O ternary nanofluid past an extending surface due to non-linear thermal radiation

A mathematical model is constructed under the slip flow of a Newtonian fluid based on certain assumptions. Such a mathematical model of ternary nanofluid flow is handled by invoking similarity solutions for governing equations. The obtained system of nonlinear equations is solved numerically by utilizing the fourth-fifth order Runge–Kutta-Fehlberg method. The consequences of distinguished parameters on fluid flow are analyzed in detail through the plotted graphic visuals. Physical quantities such as Nusselt number and skin-fraction coefficient are considered numerically by tables. The results indicated that the mixed convection parameter favors the flow whereas the x-direction velocity slip reduces the velocity. Furthermore, it is observed that the temperature of the nanofluid is increased for the higher values of radiation. The presence of a heat source enhances the temperature and that of a heat sink diminishes the temperature. It is found that the heat conduction capability is more in ternary nanofluid than the hybrid and monophase nanofluids.
