Abstract

<abstract> <p>The objective of this study is to explore the heat transfer properties and flow features of an MHD hybrid nanofluid due to the dispersion of polymer/CNT matrix nanocomposite material through orthogonal permeable disks with the impact of morphological nanolayer. Matrix nanocomposites (MNC) are high-performance materials with unique properties and design opportunities. These MNC materials are beneficial in a variety of applications, spanning from packaging to biomedical applications, due to their exceptional thermophysical properties. The present innovative study is the dispersion of polymeric/ceramic matrix nanocomposite material on magnetized hybrid nanofluids flow through the orthogonal porous coaxial disks is deliberated. Further, we also examined the numerically prominence of the permeability ($ {\mathrm{A}}_{\mathrm{*}} $) function consisting of the Permeable Reynold number associated with the expansion/contraction ratio. The morphological significant effects of these nanomaterials on flow and heat transfer characteristics are explored. The mathematical structure, as well as empirical relations for nanocomposite materials, are formulated as partial differential equations, which are then translated into ordinary differential expressions using appropriate variables. The Runge–Kutta and shooting methods are utilized to find the accurate numerical solution. Variations in skin friction coefficient and Nusselt number at the lower and upper walls of disks, as well as heat transfer rate measurements, are computed using important engineering physical factors. A comparison table and graph of effective nanolayer thermal conductivity (ENTC) and non-effective nanolayer thermal conductivity are presented. It is observed that the increment in nanolayer thickness (0.4−1.6), enhanced the ENTC and thermal phenomena. By the enhancement in hybrid nanoparticles volume fraction (2% to 6%), significant enhancement in Nusselt number is noticed. This novel work may be beneficial for nanotechnology and relevant nanocomponents.</p> </abstract>
