ABSTRACT
This study investigates the transportation of mass and heat in the 3D flow of hybrid nanofluids over a rotating disk in the presence of uniform
magnetic field acting along the transverse direction to the flow. Water is being used as a base fluid mixed with nanoparticles of aluminum
oxide and copper. The mathematical model of the nano-fluidic problem in terms of partial differential equations (PDEs) is formulated by
considering the velocity slip at the boundary and heat transport mechanism due to thermal convection and radiation effects. Suitable similarity
transformations are being used to transform the governing system of PDEs into a system of nonlinear ordinary differential equations. The
transformed model is then analyzed by employing the competency of the Lobatto IIIA technique. Numerical and graphical illustrations are
presented for the analysis of different flow parameters by varying velocities and temperature profiles. The behavior of heat transfer rate and
coefficient skin friction is also studied numerically for the presented flow model.
