Abstract

Salient features of hybrid nanofluid (MoS2-SiO2/water) for Darcy–Forchheimer– Brinkman porous space with variable characteristics is examined. Heat transfer analysis subject to viscous dissipation, nonlinear thermal radiation, and heat generation/absorp-tion is carried out. Disturbance inflow is created by an exponentially stretching curved sheet. Relevant equations are simplified by employing boundary layer theory. Adequate transformations lead to a set of dimensionless equations. Velocity, temperature, and entropy generation rate are analyzed graphically. Comparative results are obtained for hybrid (MoS2-SiO2/water) and nanofluid (MoS2-water and SiO2-water). Physical quantities are analyzed through numerical data.
