Abstract

This numerical study investigates the behaviour of the unsteady mixed convection flow and heat transfer near the stagnation region past a vertical plate in Al2O3-Cu/H2O hybrid nanofluids. By choosing an appropriate similarity transformation, an ordinary differential equations system is obtained, hence scrutinized via the bvp4c package embedded in the MATLAB program. The results show that as the nanoparticle volume fraction and unsteadiness parameter increase, the fluid's skin friction coefficient also increases. Also, an increase in the nanoparticle volume fraction and unsteadiness parameter has broadened the range of solutions hence, delayed the progress of boundary layer separation. In addition, the presence of the unsteadiness parameter provides a significant result in the thermal system. The first solution is declared stable by the stability analysis.
