    The Williamson stagnation nanofluid flow over a stretching/shrinking surface with active and passive control are numerically studied. The main focus of the present study is to investigate the impacts of partial slip and suction at the boundary on the velocity, temperature, and nanoparticle volume fraction profiles and heat transfer characteristics. It is crucial to analyze the fluid flow and heat transfer problems with the inclusion of partial slip and suction effects due to an extensive variety of applications in the industry. The governing partial differential equations are reduced to a set of coupled nonlinear ordinary differential equation systems using nondimensional variables and then it is solved using the boundary value problem solver (bvp4c) in MATLAB. Results show that both velocity and nanoparticle volume fraction increase as the suction parameter increases while the temperature acts in the opposite manner. The magnitude of the reduced skin friction coefficient, the reduced Nusselt number and the reduced Sherwood number are notably increased for the first solution with the increasing suction parameter. It is seen that the nanofluid velocity increases as the partial slip parameter increases whereas the temperature and nanoparticle volume fraction of the nanofluid are decreased. As partial slip parameter enhanced, the reduced skin friction coefficient has decreased while the magnitude of both the local Nusselt number and the local Sherwood number are increasing. Dual solutions exist up to a certain range of the stretching/shrinking parameter in the shrinking flow region. The critical values of stretching/shrinking parameter increases with the increasing in suction and partial slip effect strength suggest that both parameter widens the range of dual solutions exist. Physically, the increment of the suction and slip effects has delayed the boundary layer separation. The first solution is found to be stable and physically applicable but the second solution is not based on the literature for the similar problem presented by researchers.

    The numerical investigation of unsteady magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) stagnation point flow of Al2O3-Cu/H2O hybrid nanofluid past a convectively heated permeable stretching/shrinking sheet with suction/injection effect is underlined. The characteristic of MHD and boundary condition with suction/injection has received a lot of consideration due to its across-the-board application in mechanical and chemical engineering. The governing continuity, momentum and energy equations are transformed into a system of nonlinear ordinary differential equations using similarity transformation, which is then solved using the bvp4c routine. Numerical results are obtained for the skin friction coefficient, local Nusselt number as well as the velocity and temperature profiles for certain values of the governing parameters, namely suction/injection parameter, copper nanoparticle volume fraction parameter and MHD parameter. Results showed that both velocity profile and temperature increase as the suction/injection parameter γ increases for the first solution and decreases for the second solution. Similarly, when increase the value of MHD parameter M, the velocity and temperature profiles are decreases for both solutions. The magnitude of the reduced skin friction coefficient and the local Nusselt number are notably increased for the first solution with increasing values of the suction/injection and MHD parameters. Finding also revealed that the skin friction coefficient is intensified in conjunction with the local Nussel number by adding up the copper nanoparticle volume fraction. In general, dual solutions are found to exist to a particular extent of the stretching/shrinking sheet.

    Hybrid nanofluid is an improved kind of nanofluid that typically utilized to enhance the thermal efficiency in fluid flow regimes. It has a wide range of real-world applications. This opened up many new prospects to further investigate the two-dimensional hybrid nanofluid under different body geometries and physical parameters. A numerical study of a two-dimensional magnetized mixed convection hybrid nanofluid flow over a vertical exponentially shrinking sheet is considered in this paper. The main objective of this current study is to examine the influences of volume fraction of copper, mixed convection, and radiation on the reduced skin friction and reduced heat transfer against the effect of suction. Besides, the influences of radiation, volume fraction of alumina, velocity slip, thermal slip, magnetic parameter, and Eckert number on the velocity and temperature profiles are also considered in this paper. The governing system of partial differential equations (PDEs) is transformed into a system of nonlinear ordinary differential equations (ODEs) through exponential similarity variables. Then, the bvp4c solver for MATLAB is used to solve the transformed nonlinear ODEs. Numerous significant results are being observed. As the quantity of mixed convection was raised, the reduced skin friction improved in both solutions, and reduced heat transfer increased in the second solution but with no variation found in the first solution. Besides, the temperature profile grew when the volume fraction of alumina, radiation, magnetic parameter, and Eckert number were raised in both solutions. In terms of heat transfer rate, when the amount of the velocity slip parameter was increased, temperature reduced in the first solution but increased in the second solution. Whilst temperature dropped in both solutions as the thermal slip parameter was enhanced. In conclusion, the addition of hybrid nanoparticles boosted the heat transmission rate. In the assisting flow condition, dual solutions exist when the suction parameter value is greater or equal to its critical point. However, no fluid flow is conceivable when the indicated value is less than this critical point.

    Hybrid nanofluid is considered a modern and improvised form of nanofluid which usually used to enhance the performance of heat transfer in fluid flow systems. Previous studies found hybrid nanofluid offered a wide range of applications and this opened up numerous new opportunities to further explore the unknown behaviour of hybrid nanofluid under different body geometries and physical parameters. This paper numerically studied a two-dimensional mixed convection and radiative Al2O3-Cu/H2O hybrid nanofluid flow over a vertical exponentially shrinking sheet with partial slip conditions. The main objective is to investigate the effect of mixed convection and radiation on the velocity and temperature profiles, as well as the effect of suction on reduced skin friction and reduced heat transfer with respect to solid volume fraction of copper, velocity, and thermal slips. Exponential similarity variables transformed the governing system of partial differential equations into a system of ordinary differential equations which is solved via MATLAB’s bvp4c solver. Outcomes showed that the value of the reduced heat transfer upsurges in the first solution but declines in the second solution when the velocity slip rises. The reduced heat transfer decreases in both dual solutions when thermal slip is enhanced. As the intensity of thermal slip increases, the reduced skin friction rises in the first solution and decreases in the second. As the mixed convection parameter increases, no obvious variation is noticed in the temperature distribution within the first solution, but increasing trend is observed within the second solution. An increment in the temperature distribution also observed within the dual solutions as the thermal radiation parameter increases. In summary, findings from this study are particularly useful to understand various behaviour of Al2O3-Cu/H2O hybrid nanofluid under the influence of mixed convection, radiation, and partial slip conditions when it flows over a vertical exponential shrinking sheet.

    The flow of MHD nanofluid towards a permeable stretching/shrinking sheet with chemical reaction, partial slip and heat source effects at the stagnation point has been examined. The state of this partial slip boundary condition and heat source in flow configuration has devoted a considerable attention on account of its widespread application in industrial and chemical engineering. Slip velocity is included to the boundary condition as a part of entrenched stretching/shrinking velocity. The leading partial differential equations are reduced to a set of ordinary differential equation systems with the help of similarity transformations and then it has been clarified utilizing the boundary value problem solver (bvp4c) package in MATLAB. The skin friction coefficient, local Nusselt number, and local Sherwood number, as well as velocity, temperature, and nanoparticle volume fraction profiles for certain values of the leading parameters, namely partial slip parameter and heat source parameter, are calculated numerically in the study. Results indicates that nanoparticle and temperature volume fraction rise as the heat source variable enhances while the velocity remain constant. The size of the skin friction coefficient, Nusselt number, and Sherwood number are all significantly lowered in the first solution when heat source and slip factors rise. For a given range of the stretching/shrinking variable, it is determined that there are two different solutions persist.
