Impact of Cattaneo-Christov heat flux model on MHD hybrid nano-micropolar fluid flow and heat transfer with viscous and joule dissipation effects.

Review of literature reveals that hybrid nanofluids are more effective for heat transmission as compared to the conventional fluids. Nevertheless, the knowledge of developed techniques for the enhancement of heat transmission in hybrid nanofluids has many gaps and, subsequently, an extensive study for such fluids is vital. In this article, the author investigates the effect of hybrid nanoparticles on the thermal efficiency of nano-structured nanoparticles (micropolar fluid) by using the Cattaneo-Christov heat flux model. The magnetic field is pragmatic normal to the hybrid nanofluid flow direction. In order to investigate the influence of physical parameters, the proposed model has been converted to a set of ordinary differential equations (ODEs) by means of involved variables. Furthermore, the analytical and numerical approaches are compared by using different techniques to comprehend the significance of this research. It is found that macro-velocity field reduces with micropolar factor and Hartmann number. A significant result is found in micro-velocity field for the cases when [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text]. Also an escalating conduct in thermal field is observed against the increasing estimations of Hartmann number, micropolar parameter, Eckert number, and material parameter.
