Ethylene glycol with nanoparticles behaves as a non-Newtonian fluid and its rheology can be best predicted by the power-law rheological approach. Further nanoparticles (molybdenum disulfide and silicon dioxide) are responsible for anti-oxidation, anti-evaporation, and anti-aging. Therefore, their dispersion in ethylene glycol is considered as these properties make the nanofluid stable. This article examines the impact of molybdenum disulfide and silicon dioxide on the thermal enhancement of ethylene glycol as it is a worldwide used coolant. Moreover, simultaneous effects of temperature and concentration gradients, Joule heating, viscous dissipation, thermal radiations, and buoyancy forces are modeled and developed, and investigations are computed by the finite element method. An increase in temperature due to the composition gradient and an increase in concentration due to the temperature gradient are observed. A significant increase in the Ohmic phenomenon with an increase in the intensity of the magnetic field is observed. Numerical experiments are performed by considering single-type nanoparticles (
Introduction
Nanofluids can be created by dispersing colloidally dispersed single nanoparticles in a new base fluid. This fluid is suitable for various applications, including microelectronics, pharmaceuticals, thermal management, and temperature control. Finally, the base liquid contained nanoparticles of two different types, i.e., hybrid nanofluid. When nanofluids made of alumina are heated or cooled, their dynamic viscosity changes according to their composition. According to researchers, this is because of the shape of the nanoparticles. Nanoparticles and their base fluids are thought to have different surface charges, affecting how they interact with their base fluids. Nanoparticles [1] have different surface charges, making them interact with each other in different ways, which makes them unique. Sahu and Sarkar [2] wrote that the shape of nanoparticles affects how active and energetic nanoparticles are. Jiang et al. [3] demonstrated the movement of nanofluids in an aqueous solution via convection caused by heat and water using a thermo-capillary convection chamber (spherical, cylinder, brick, and platelet). Spherical and platelet nanoparticles are the two nanoparticles with the most significant thermo-capillary convection. However, convection is not as strong as in a nanofluid containing platelet-shaped nanoparticles. The number of nanoparticles on the Nusselt blade has also gone up. It worked better for the people who used blade-shaped nanoparticles than those who used round nanoparticles. Nanoparticle shapes have been talked about by Arno et al. [4] concerning this subject. This was the first time three different nanoparticles were mixed in a single primary fluid. Many studies have come up with good results and helpful information. Thermal analysis shows that high thermal diffusivity in supercritical solar power plants can be advantageous because of the plants’ high stability and the slight temperature fluctuations in their thermal diffusivity [5]. Mousavi et al. [6] observed the movements of copper oxide, magnesium oxide, and titanium oxide in a laboratory. Because nanoparticle concentrations increased in all the nanofluids studied in this study, their viscosity increased. The viscosity of a liquid decreases as the temperature rises.
On the other hand, when it comes to the dynamics of ternary hybrid nanofluids, they behave just like Newtonian fluids. They did what they said they would and when they said they would. When the temperature rises, the density of ternary hybrid nanofluids gets less dense. Between 35 and 50°C, nanoparticles can be added to the base fluid to make it more heat-resistant to handle more heat. Sahoo and Kumar [7] studied these nanoparticles in water to figure out how they work together and work with each other. They can move in three different ways at the same time. Dynamic viscosity can be used to determine how much volume a trinary hybrid nanofluid has. This then helps figure out its volume fraction. They have been talked about by Abbasi et al. [8], Sahoo [9], and other researchers. For a long time, fluids were moved by suction/injection and rotation, but this has been changed to stretching at the wall. As long as suction and stretching are used together, things can be moved in any direction. When there are low suction rates, the Reynolds number rises, which causes turbulence to form quickly. Gregory and Walker [10] found this out. The findings of other scientists back up this claim. In terms of suction, there are two main ways to use it: to bring energy into the system and take it out. Another way to use it is to get energy. Suction can make blood pressure differences between arterial and venous vessels more significant [11]. Suction can be used to control shock and boundary layer separation and interaction, as shown by Krogmann et al. [12], Animasaun [13], and Zaydan [14]. A small medium can also be used to see how thermo-magneto-convection dynamics change. In addition, the work of Hashem Zadeh et al. and Alsabery et al. should also be talked about in these processes, and also Ghalambaz, Hashem Zadeh, and Alsabaery, you’ll also find the articles [15, 16, 17, 18, and 19] in this direction.
Reiner-model swirling water is used in the same way as Sahoo et al. [20] studied the effects of suction and injection. This study found that injecting can exacerbate oscillation while changing the speed of transportation and using suction could lessen it. While the suction may not be strong enough to harm the brain, Rehman et al. [21] claimed that the brain can still be damaged. The suction flux stays the same, but the suction speed changes depending on the situation. Several important contributions covering the transport of momentum and energy are covered in [22,23]. Moreover, studies regarding Hall impacts are mentioned in [24,25,26,27,28]. Krishna et al. [29] studied impacts based on ion slip and Hall in rotating flow considered magnetic field for unsteady flow in a porous surface. Krishna et al. [30] investigated thermal features involving ion slip and Hall impacts in a vertical plate containing nanofluid considering the magnetic field. Bhandari and Tripathi [31] discussed the mechanism of entropy generation and heat transfer in a microtube involving a membrane-based system. Akram et al. [32] performed the phenomena of electro-osmotically modulated including peristaltic propulsion in the occurrence of nanoparticles in a curved channel. Bhandari et al. [33] discussed the consequences of Newtonian fluid and thermal energy characteristics in a microchannel in the presence of buoyancy forces and pressure gradient. Studies related to thermal enhancement due to nanofluid are mentioned in [34,35,36,37,38].

The set of non-linear PDEs [39, 40 and 41] in view of the 2D flow of heat and mass transfer is
Boundary conditions are based on the no-slip theory which states that the velocity of the fluid at the solid boundary is equal to the velocity of the solid boundary. Similarly, the temperature of fluid and concentration at the wall are equal to the temperature of the solid wall and the amount concentration of species at the solid wall, respectively. Hence, one gets the following boundary conditions [40].
The following variables [40] are used to convert governing equations into a dimensionless form:
ODEs in term of the dimensionless form [40 and 41] are
The following correlations [39, 40 and 41] are used in numerical simulations:
The dimensionless parameters are listed as follows:
The skin friction coefficient [41] is
The Nusselt number [41] is expressed by
The Sherwood number [41] is given as
Numerical procedure
The model problem along with boundary conditions is simulated by an efficient technique called the finite element method [42]. Numerous computational fluid dynamics problems are solved by the FEM. Basically, six steps of the FEM are discussed here and these steps are given in Figure 2.
Step I. The subdomains are obtained by dividing the problem domain into elements. The discretization of the elements gives an approximation solution over each element rather than over the whole domain and the approximation solution is considered as a linear polynomial. Weighted residuals are derived as
Step II. The shape functions are the orthogonal nodal basis which possesses the property Kronecker delta. The approximation solution is obtained from the product of shape functions. The linear shape functions are used here.
Step IV. assembly approach is implemented to obtain stiffness elements. Stiffness elements are
Step V. global stiffness matrix is obtained with the help of the assembly process.
Step VI. Finally, algebraic equations are achieved using the Picard linearization method. The code is designed in MAPLE 18 and mesh free analysis is shown in Table 2. Validation of the current problem is shown in Table 2.
TABLE 2. Mesh-free study for concentration, velocity, and temperature fields predicted by 300 elements.
Mesh-free investigations
Maple 18 is utilized to design the programming of the finite element method. [0, 8] is assumed as the computational domain. Convergence analysis is shown in Table 2. The output numerical values of the velocity and temperature profiles are recorded against increasing elements via 300. It is estimated that the solution is converged at the mid of 300 elements. Table 2 shows the convergence analysis and mesh-free analysis for the velocity profile and temperature profile. It is investigated that grid sizes became independent via 300 elements.
Results and discussion
Theoretical assessment of the transfer of heat and mass in power-law fluid suspended with hybrid nanoparticles is carried out. The numerical tests are performed and results are noted. These outcomes are depicted as follows. Both
Conclusion
Thermal enhancement and mass transport in ethylene glycol (non-Newtonian-power law fluid) in the presence of hybrid nanoparticles (
➢Due to the dispersion of nanoparticles and diffusion of solute in fluid (ethylene glycol), the compositional gradient becomes significant, and the aroused buoyancy force due to the compositional gradient has considerable magnitude. Thus, it leads to erroneous results if this force is not considered, especially for the flow’s vertical surface. Similar observations are also noted for density differences caused by the temperature gradient;
➢Significant effects of the temperature gradient on mass transport and concentration gradient on heat transfer are noticed from numerical experiments. Therefore, it is advised to consider such effects for the simultaneous transfer of heat and mass in fluid regimes. Without consideration of such effects, it may lead to results that will not match the results obtained on an experimental basis;
➢Numerical experiments are performed by considering single-type nanoparticles (
