Abstract

The aim of this study is to find out the solution for the viscous ternary nanofluid flow over a semi-infinite permeable stretching/shrinking medium with mass transpiration, by taking into account the Navier's slip or second-order slip. However, the idea of water-based nanofluids incorporating triple different forms of solid nanoparticles with different densities and outlines (ternary hybrid nanofluids) remains fantastic due to their range of applications in engineering applications such as polymer production, solar energy storage and energy distribution. The nanoparticles Silver (Ag), SWCNTs and Graphene are immersed in base fluid H2O resulting in ternary hybrid nanofluid. A number of boundary conditions employed in the research are considered by this supposition, which is a generalization of them. The physical problem is Mathematically modeled into partial differential equations. These regulating partial differential equations are transformed into related nonlinear ordinary differential equations with the choice of the appropriate set of similarity transformations. The analytical technique is employed to solve the reduced transformation. Remarkably, despite the nonlinearity of the equation, an exact analytical solution for the momentum is derived. The physical insights are being provided by means of various phase diagrams and also, to demonstrate the impact of thermophysical parameters on velocity profiles. © World Scientific Publishing Company.
