Abstract

Purpose: Thermal features of hybrid nanoliquid consist of Cu–Ti, CuO–TiO2 and C71500–Ti6Al4V/H2O as hybrid mixtures of nano-sized particles in a base fluid through a microchannel are inspected. In this study, flow model of Darcy–Forchheimer is hired to examine the flow of hybrid composition. Design/methodology/approach: The equations which delineate the physical occurrence of the flow are resolved via Runge–Kutta–Fehlberg scheme united through shooting procedure. Findings: It is established that flow velocity of hybrid nano composition satisfies the identity U_(CuO-TiO2/water)>U_(Cu–Ti/water)>U_(C71500–Ti6Al4V/water). Originality/value: Hybrid nanofluid flow of Cu–Ti, CuO–TiO2 and C71500–Ti6Al4V/H2O hybrid mixtures in a base fluid through a microchannel are inspected.
