Abstract

The objective of this research is to explore the hybrid nanofluid squeezing flow inside the two consecutive parallel disks. (Formula presented.) (nickel zinc ferrite + manganese zinc ferrite) hybrid nanofluid is made using a 50% engine oil mixture as the base fluid. Entropy generation is evaluated using the second law of thermodynamics, and the behavior of a porous media is assessed using Darcy’s model. In addition, the effects of thermal radiation, heat generation, viscous dissipation, and Joule heating are taken into account in simulation. A dimensionless variable is used to convert partial differential equation to ordinary equations. In the evaluation phase, the analytical solution added which is optimal homotopy analysis technique (OHAM). The outcomes of many dimensionless parameters that arise from velocity, temperature, and skin friction, as well as local Nusselt numbers, are displayed graphically. The efficiency of heat transmission is significantly increased by (Formula presented.) as compared to (Formula presented.) The results show a rising relationship between the local Nusselt number and the development of entropy and the magnetic field, porosity, and Brinkman number. An analysis of entropy generation is presented for the magneto-hydrodynamics (MHD) fluid squeezed across two parallel disks, by assessing thermal radiation, viscous dissipation, and joule heating for various nanoparticle configurations. Moreover, the efficacy of entropy generation is notably improved by adding hybrid nanofluid as compared to nanofluid.
