  Investigation of Marangoni Convective Flow of Hybrid Nanofluids in Darcy-Forchheimer Porous Medium
  Author(s): Hamid Qureshi, Sehrish Rani and Sebastian Andreas Altmeyer*
  
  In this study we performed a comprehensive numerical investigation of the Marangoni convective flow through a Darcy-Forchheimer porous matrix in nanofluids and their hybrid equivalents - hybrid nanofluids. Convection occurred predominantly at the liquid-air interface within the porous structure. The governing equations were numerically solved using a finite difference approach, Python was used to obtain the solutions of the differential equations. In this paper, we discuss different important key parameters that qualitatively and quantitatively impact flow and heat transfer properties, respectively. We focused on the effects of porosity and thermocapillarity. The present investigation studied the Marangoni convection in (hybrid) nanofluids of manganese zinc ferrite (MnZnFe2O4) and nickel zinc ferrite (NiZnFe2O4) with water (H2O) as a base fluid. Furthermore, the effects of the paramet.. Read More»
