Abstract

The ternary hybrid nanofluids have potential in different technological arenas such as biomedical engineering, solar energy, atomic reactors, the automotive industry, and heat pipes. Given these facts, along with the recent advancements in nanotechnology and their extensive applications, this research focuses on the MoS 2 -Fe 3 O 4 -ZrO 2 /CH 3 OH ternary nanofluid flow through bidirectional stretching sheets. We have transformed the coupled nonlinear partial differential equations for the advanced model into nondimensional ordinary differential equations using similarity transformations, and then semi-analytically apply the homotopy analysis methodology (HAM). We have displayed the physical features of potential factors graphically alongside the flowing factors based on velocity and temperature. We presented a physical evaluation in tabular format for the rate of heat transmission and compared the results with existing work to ensure their validity. These meaningful outcomes indicate that the axial fluid velocity is compressed by the magnetic interaction, inertial drag, porosity and stretchable ratio, while it is augmented by the Powell-Eyring factor and the changed Hartmann value. The effect of increasing transverse speed boosts inertial drag.
