Abstract

This article investigates the three-dimensional magneto stagnation-point flow of ternary hybrid nanofluid caused by a radially extended infinite gyrating disk with multiple slip effects. The main concern is to analyze the characteristics of heat transport when linear thermal radiation (LTR), quadratic thermal radiation (QTR), and full nonlinear thermal radiation (FNTR) are significant. Ternary fluid is a composition of water, spherical-shaped silver, cylindrical-shaped aluminum oxide, and platelet-shaped aluminum nanoparticles. Non-uniform heat source effects are taken into account. The governing equations are constructed using a single-phase nanofluid model using boundary layer theory and von Karman variables. The consequent nonlinear problem is solved with an efficient finite element method and the results are verified with the available data. The Nusselt number and friction factors are computed for both clean fluid and ternary nanofluid subjected to three different forms of Rosseland’s thermal radiation. Our results demonstrate that the rate of heat transport (Nusselt number) is higher in the FNTR case than in QTR and LTR, and it is even higher for ternary nanofluid compared to clean fluid. Further, the heat transport rate gets reduced for a higher heat source parameter. The rotation of the disk escalates the shear stress along both the radial and axial directions. The multiple slip boundary conditions lead to condensed boundary layers over a disk surface.
