Abstract

The unsteady stagnation point flow of hybrid nanofluid past an impermeable disk is investigated with the presence of thermal radiation. The pair of aluminium oxide and copper with 2% of ϕhnf are numerically analyzed using the existing correlations of hybrid nanofluid. The governing model is simplified into a set of differential (similarity) equations and then, numerically solved by employing the bvp4c solver in the Matlab software. The dual solutions are presented while the stability analysis certifies the physical/real solution. The availability of dual solutions is detected when the range of control parameters are −1.5≤B≤−1 (unsteadiness decelerating parameter), 0≤R≤0.1 (radiation parameter) and λc≤λ≤0.5 (velocity ratio parameter). The accession of radiation parameter and the use of different nanofluids (Cu-H2O, Al2O3-H2O and Cu-Al2O3/H2O) are not prolonging the boundary layer separation. However, the addition of R, B and the use of Cu-Al2O3/H2O hybrid nanofluid enhance the thermal performance of the working fluid.
