Title: Analyzing tetra-hybrid nanofluid flow in the absorbent channel influenced by quadratic thermal radiative heat flux and surface catalyzed reactions

Abstract:

This study seeks to clarify the catalytic mechanism occurring in the flow of a tetra-hybrid nanofluid through an absorbent channel. The heat transfer process is examined using quadratic thermal radiative heat flux, while mass transformation is analyzed considering surface-catalyzed reactions alongside homogeneous-heterogeneous reactions. The tetra-hybrid nanofluid is created by incorporating carbides such as silicon carbide (SiC) and titanium carbide (TiC), along with oxides like titanium oxide (TiO2) and copper oxide (CuO), into a water (H2O) base fluid. Through suitable transformations, ordinary differential equations (ODEs) are derived and numerically solved using the bvp4c method. The results show that increasing the surface-catalyzed parameter enhances concentration distribution, and the heat transfer rate improves with a higher particle volume fraction in the tetra-hybrid nanofluid flow.
