Unsteady three-dimensional nodal stagnation point flow of polymer-based ternary-hybrid nanofluid past a stretching surface with suction and heat source

As a result of the many real-world applications that may be derived from understanding stagnation point flow in designing, such as the coolant of nuclear reactors, there has been a great deal of interest in the topic. Consequently, the purpose of this research was to offer a numerical analysis of an unstable three-dimensional (3D) nodal stagnation point flow of polymer-based A l 2 O 3 - C u O - T i O 2 / p o l y m e r ternary nanofluid past a stretching surface with mass suction and heat source effects. In order to simplify the underlying partial differential equations, an appropriate similarity transformation is applied to them. This simplifies the ordinary differential equations. The shooting with the Runge-Kutta approach is used by the MATHEMATICA software to do the numerical calculation. Suction, stretching, unsteadiness, heat source, and nanoparticle volume fractions are other elements that play a role in regulating the flow and heat transfer as well as drag force profiles and how they affect the problem. The amount of heat transferred, and the friction coefficient increased in both directions when the suction parameter values were raised. In a ternary-hybrid nanofluid, the overall heat transfer rate decreases as the value of the heat source increases. Variations in the nanoparticles' volume fraction parameter cause an intensification in skin friction in both directions. Expanding the unstable and nanoparticles volume fraction parameters also reduces the Nusselt number. Furthermore, the heat transfer presentation of ternary-hybrid nanofluid has superior to the hybrid nanofluid and the normal nanofluid for the suction parameter. When the results of the current research were compared to those of a study that had already been done and published, they were found to be in good agreement.
