Computational magnetohydrodynamic study on generalized thermal enhancement in complex liquid media with hybrid nanoparticles

The objective of the current study is to explore the thermal transport in the Maxwell hybrid nanofluid model via generalized heat flux theory. The flow is produced due to the stretching of the cylinder and the transport phenomenon is modeled in cylindrical coordinates. Special attention is paid to monitor the thermal transfer by mixing different types of nanoparticles in the Maxwell fluid. Phenomena of heat transport are considered in the presence of Joule heating and Cattaneo-Christov heat flux. The governing equations have been simplified via boundary layer theory with a suitable transformation. A derived system of partial differential equations is converted into a system of ordinary differential equations. An efficient numerical procedure is applied to tackle the transformed equation. The behavior of velocity and temperature fields has been studied against different emerging parameters and their characteristics have been reported in detail. Moreover, the authenticity and efficiency of the used method have been checked and verified by computing the dimensionless shear stress and heat transfer rate. The impact of relaxation time and role of nanoparticles on heat transfer is analyzed.
