KHA model comprising MoS(4) and CoFe(2)O(3) in engine oil invoking non-similar Darcy–Forchheimer flow with entropy and Cattaneo–Christov heat flux

Objective: Nanoliquid flows are widely utilized in industrial, petroleum, engineering, and pharmaceutical applications including electric cooling, drug delivery, nuclear reactor cooling, solar collectors, heat exchangers, magnetohydrodynamic power generators, aerospace, porous media, thermal storage systems, and many others. Darcy–Forchheimer magnetized hybrid nanoliquid subjected to a stretchable cylinder was addressed, and the Cattaneo–Christov heat flux analysis was considered. Herein, disulfido (dithioxo) molybdenum (MoS(4)) and cobalt ferrite (CoFe(2)O(4)) were considered as nanoparticles, and engine oil as a conventional liquid. The thermal relationship of heat generation and radiation was discussed, and the influence of the entropy rate was addressed. Methodology: Governing expressions were transformed into dimensionless forms. Simulation by the ND-solve technique was implemented. Conclusions: Features for the entropy rate, liquid flow, and temperature against emerging variables for nanoliquid (MoS(4)/engine oil) and hybrid nanoliquid (MoS(4) + CoFe(2)O(4)/engine oil) were explored. The numerical results of the coefficient of skin friction and thermal transport rate for nanoliquid (MoS(4)/engine oil) and hybrid nanoliquid (MoS(4) + CoFe(2)O(4)/engine oil) were examined. Reduction in velocity clearly occurred through a magnetic field, whereas the reverse impact held for the entropy rate. The thermal field and entropy rate against the curvature parameter were enhanced. A decrease in liquid flow occurred for higher porosity variables. An enhancement in the entropy rate was witnessed for radiation and porosity parameters. Higher radiation and thermal relaxation time variables resulted in enhancement of the thermal transport rate.
