ABSTRACT
The hydrothermal features of unsteady, incompressible, and laminar hybrid nanofluid motion through a porous capillary are analytically studied in the magnetic field presence. The hybrid nanofluid (GO + ZnO + Blood) is synthesized by blending nanomaterials of graphene oxide and zinc oxide with blood acting as the host fluid. The mathematical model of the flow comprises of a coupled nonlinear set of partial differential equations (PDEs) satisfying appropriate boundary conditions. These equations are reduced to ordinary differential equations (ODEs) by using similarity transformations and then solved with homotopy analysis method (HAM). The impacts of various pertinent physical parameters over the hybrid nanofluid state functions are examined by displaying 2 D graphs. It has been observed that the fluid velocity mitigates with the varying strength of M, A0, N0, and N1. The enhancing buoyancy parameter ϵ augments the fluid velocity. The increasing Prandtl number causes to reduce, while the enhancing A0, B, and N2 augment the hybrid nanofluid temperature. The fluid concentration mitigates with the higher Schmidt number values and A0, and augments with the increasing Soret number strength. The augmenting magnetic field strength causes to enhance the fluid friction, whereas the convective heat transfer increases with the Prandtl number rising values. The rising Sherwood number drops the mass transfer rate of the fluid. The achieved results are validated due to the agreement with the published results. The results of this computation will find applications in biomedicine, nanotechnology, and fluid dynamics.
