Abstract
The current investigation interprets the flow and the thermal characteristics of the ternary nanofluid composed of MoS2, ZnO, and SiO2 spherical nanoparticles and water. The resulting nanofluid is MoS2−ZnO−SiO2−(H2O+EG) where (H2O+EG)
act as the base fluid which help in the flow and the nanoparticles
contribute to enhancing the heat conductivity. The flow is assumed to
occur across a thin needle whose surface is maintained at a higher
temperature than the surroundings. The mathematical model is framed by
incorporating radiation introduced by Rosseland in terms of partial
differential equations (PDE). This system of equations governs the flow
and thermal properties of fluid which are converted to a system of
ordinary differential equations (ODE). The major outcomes of the study
indicated that the increase in the amount of molybdenum disulfide
enhanced the heat conducted by the nanofluid whereas it reduced the flow
speed. The positive values of the heat source/sink parameter caused the
heat conduction of the nanofluid to go high.
