Hydrodynamics and ferrite nanoparticles in hybrid nanofluid

The solids have higher heat transfer rate comparative to fluids, thus, in the present article, two different ferrite nano-particles are suspended in two different base fluids to demonstrates its impacts on the friction drag and heat transfer. Ferrites nano-particles are used because of the existence of Curie temperature in these particles, a property that makes them distinct from other nano-particles. Distinct ferrites have different Curie temperature, this means that the presence of ferrite nano-particles in base fluids makes them efficient for heat transfer in ferromagnetic fluid flows. Thus, this article focuses to study two ferrites, i.e., Magnetite ferrite Fe₃O₄ and Manganese zinc ferrite MnZnFe₂O₄ with base fluids water H₂O and refrigerant-134A C₂H₂F₄. Heat transfer and friction drag are carried out for these hybridized ferrites nanoparticles in ferromagnetic nano-fluids. The higher velocity field is seen for the hybrid nanofluid MnZnFe₂O₄-Fe₃O₄-H₂O-C₂H₂F₄, whereas, the lowest velocity field is demonstrated for the nanofluid Fe₃O₄-H₂O.
