Abstract
In this research work, we introduce the influences of the shape of nanoparticles and joule heating in the hydromagnetic flow of hybrid nanofluids between non-parallel plates. A mixture base fluid (H2O (50%)-C2H6O2 (50%)), a hybrid nanofluid containing hybrid nanoparticles (graphene oxide-molybdenum disulfide, GO-MoS2) as nanoparticles, is considered. The non-linear governing equations are reduced into ordinary-differential equations (ODEs) by similarity transformations. The non-linear ordinary-differential equation (ODE) is solved numerically utilizing 4th–5th order Runge-Kutta-Fehlberg (RKF-45) with a shooting method and analytically using the homotopy analysis method (HAM). The effect of the rarefaction parameter, Reynolds number, channel angle, Hartmann number, electric field parameter, and the shape of nanoparticles on fluid velocity and skin friction are discussed and presented in a graphical form. Also, the theoretical results and the effectiveness of the homotopy analysis method (HAM) are confirmed by numerical tests and presented graphically coupled with detailed discussions.
