Statistical and numerical analysis of unsteady hybrid nanoliquid flows over an elongating surface with oblique Lorentz force: A comparison of Cu-Al₂O₃/H₂O, Cu-Al₂O₃/CH₃OH and Cu-Al₂O₃/H₂O-EG

The current work investigates the effects of oblique Lorentz force and Navier's slip boundary condition on unsteady hybrid nanoliquid flow with three different base liquids (H2O, CH3OH and H2O-EG) across a nonlinearly elongating surface set in a porous medium. This research considers the effects of viscous-Ohmic dissipation, nonlinearly variable thermal radiation, internal heat source, the Soret effect, first-order chemical reaction and thermal and solutal jump conditions at the boundary. Proper thermo-physical relationships for the hybrid nanoliquid have been established. Rosseland's estimate for an optically thick regime is used when calculating the heat flow owing to radiation. The dimensional governing equations are translated into nondimensional forms using appropriate similarity transformations. The velocity, energy and concentration fields are numerically solved using a shooting strategy based on the secant iteration and the Runge-Kutta-Fehlberg method. The physical implications of several essential parameters on the hybrid nanoliquid velocity, temperature and concentration are investigated using graphical and tabular representations of numerical data. Furthermore, the multiple (quadratic) regression analysis reveals that physical parameters strongly influence the local skin friction coefficient, Sherwood and Nusselt numbers. For continuously growing values of the unsteadiness parameter, the velocity, thermal and concentration scattering declined everywhere within the boundary layer region.
