Type: article
Abstract: This contribution aims to explain the nonlinear thermal flow for Darcy-Forchheimer Maxwell tri-hybrid nanofluid flow over a Riga wedge in the context of boundary slip. Three types of nanomaterials, alumina, Copper and Titania have been mixed into the base fluid known as engine oil. Thermal properties with the effects of porous surface and nonlinear mixed convection have been established for the particular combination. Applying a set of appropriate variables, the couple of equations that evaluated the energy and flow equations was transferred to the non-dimensional form. For numerical computing, the MATLAB software's bvp4c function is used. This article looks at how distinct dimensionless parameters affect the velocity field, temperature distribution, drag force, and Nusselt number. It has been detected that flow rate decay with expansion in porosity parameter and nanoparticles volumetric fractions whereas it rises with wedge angle, Grashof numbers, Darcy-Forchheimer, nonlinear Grashof number and Maxwell fluid parameter. Thermal profiles increase with progress in the heat source, nanoparticles volumetric fractions, viscus dissipation and nonlinear thermal radiation. The percentage increase in skin friction factor is 18.3 and 15.0 when Mh and m take input in the ranges of 0.1 ≤ Mh ≤ 0.3 and 0.1 ≤ m ≤ 0.3.
