Abstract
The transport phenomenon involving a thorough mixture of a base fluid and any two different types of nanoparticles (i.e. hybrid nanofluid) has attracted the attention of scientists to deliberate on the significance and performance of such fluid using two different types of thermo-physical models (i.e. type I and type II). This study examines the dynamics of hybrid nanofluids using type I and type II hybrid models with major emphasis on the difference. Also, this report unravels the significance of suction and dual stretching on the boundary layer flow of hybrid nanofluids. The governing equation that model the dynamics was modeled, non-dimenzionalized, parameterized, and solved numerically. It is concluded that both type I and type II models of viscosity should not be used for volume fraction ϕ1 + ϕ2 > 0.02 as both models are found to be the same, accurate but limited. The stretching ratio has dual effects on the velocity in both horizontal directions and temperature distribution decreases with stretching rate. Local skin friction coefficients and temperature distribution are decreasing properties of suction. In the case of various water-based conveying various nanoparticles (seven different hybrid nanofluids), optimal Nusselt number is ascertained at a larger value of stretching ratio and suction in the dynamics of water conveying (less dense nanoparticles) multiple wall CNT and silicon dioxide.

1. Background information
Fluid dynamics is a field of study with the objectives to not only analyse various fluid flows, but also explain the significance of some parameters to the scientists in the industry dealing with such dynamics. This has led to some reports like Qasim et al. [1], Wakif et al [2], Wakif et al [3], Wakif et al [4], Afridi et al [5], Qasim et al [6]. The significance of stretching as a sufficient tools capable to induce fluid flow has been deliberated by Gangadhar et al [7] in a study on the flow of micropolar ferrofluid, Gangadhar et al [8] in a study on the dynamics of nanofluid subject to Lorenzt force, and Gangadhar et al [9] in another study on the dynamics of Casson fluid. The mixture of one type of nanoparticles thoroughly dispersed in a base fluid otherwise known as nanofluid has attracted the attention of experts due to its unique variability of thermal property. Gangadhar et al [10] appraised the increasing effects of thermal radiation on the dynamics of titania (TiO2) and alumina () water based nanofluids while Kotha et al [11] only examined the increasing effect of thermal radiation on the dynamics of engine oil nanofluid. It was reported that the temperature distribution is an increasing property of thermal radiation. Convectively heating of the nanofluid near the wall may also affect the observed effect. Sobhana Babu et al [12] examined the dynamics of a nanofluid with a nonlinear relationship between shear stress and strain. Water conveying AA7072 and AA7075 forming hybrid nanofluid on an infinite disk subject to viscous dissipation and surface tension was modeled using II model by Ullah [13]. Table three presented in the report shows that at all the increasing values of thermal radiation, thermal slip, viscous dissipation, and exponential space heat source the Nusselt number proportional to heat transfer in the case of water conveying AA7075 is lower than that of the hybrid nanofluid.
The colloidal mixture of two different nanoparticles together with a base fluid is of importance to scientists and engineers dealing with fluid substances. For instance in solar collectors, the conversion of power energy from the Sun to electricity is termed photothermal energy. Enhancement of thermal and optical properties as in the case of photothermal energy was pointed out by Tong [14] through the addition of multi-walled carbon nanoparticles to an existing ethylene glycol mixed with nanoparticles. The properties of insoluble titanium dioxide (titania) and it's UV resistant properties have made it a compulsory ingredient in the production of not only food coloring, but also cosmetic industry paint, and sunscreen. Some electrocatalysts can be used to reduce certain gases to organics. In this direction with major emphasis on addressing global warming, Hossain et al [15] concluded that if the homogeneous deposition-precipitation method is adopted to mix titania and copper nanoparticles with a precipitating agent like urea, then such mixture is a good substance for reduction of carbon dioxide in the vicinity to organic. Based on lattice distribution and valence of copper (Cu), Li et al [16], Assadi and Hanaor et al [17] concluded that there exists charge transfer between metal to metal in the formation of Ti-O-Cu and this process enhances photoactivity. More so, an exhibition of electron-hole separation in the mixture of (Cu doped titanium dioxide) is achievable with photoexcitation.
Viscosity, density, thermal conductivity, electrical conductivity, heat capacity, and volumetric expansion are some of the major thermo-physical properties of fluids including hybrid nanofluids. The density of hybrid nanofluid was pointed out by Babar and Ali [18] as one of the most important thermo-physical properties of hybrid nanofluid as it strongly affects stability, frictional factor, and Reynolds number. However, as in the case of GNP-Ag/water hybrid nanofluid, density negligibly augments with higher particle concentration but it reduces due to higher temperature; see Yarmand et al [19]. At different levels of volume concentrations, Suresh et al [20] noticed that the viscosity of /water increases due to higher volume concentrations and also Newtonian (i.e. linear relationship between the shear stress and shear strain exists). The thermal conductivity of copper Cu is 401(W/mK) while the that of alumina is . Because of this, Suresh et al [20] noticed that the major influence in the thermal conductivity of the hybrid nanofluid can be traced to the 902.5% increase in the same thermo-physical property. The significance of increasing nanoparticles concentration and temperature on the mixture of ethylene glycol, of zinc oxide ZnO and titanium dioxide TiO2 by Toghraie et al [21] shows that the thermal conductivity of the hybrid nanofluid κhnf increases with solid volume fraction and temperature for . Also, the thermal conductivity κhnf of the same mixture increases with temperature and solid volume fraction for 0.1% ≤ ϕ ≤ 3.5%.
The experimental research carried out by Suresh et al [22] indicates that the observed friction factor in the dynamics of /water hybrid nanofluid is higher than that of 0.1% /water nanofluid. This corroborates the observed friction factor of /water found to be higher due to the higher viscosity of hybrid nanofluid. In this case of hybrid nanofluid, surface adsorption is experienced and multiple types of nanoparticles in the base fluid form clustering. This leads to the higher viscosity of hybrid nanofluid; Nuim Labib et al [23]. Also remarked that the addition of CNTs to /water increases the shear thinning of existing /water nanofluid. In another study on /water by Takabi and Shokouhmand [24], wall shear stress ratio and viscosity are increasing properties of volume concentration. Also, the friction factor decreases with Reynold number but found to be very large at all the values of the Reynold number for /water. Moreover, Takabi and Shokouhmand [24] pointed out that the minimum friction factor is ascertained at all the Reynold numbers for pure water while the friction factor for /water is greater than that of pure water.
1.1. Type II Model for the analysis of hybrid nanofluids
With an emphasis on /water hybrid nanofluid, Devi and Devi [25] adopted reoccurrence formulae to simulate a model for the thermophysical properties of hybrid fluids. Good agreement was seen after a comparative analysis between the models and the experimental results of Suresh et al [20] for a certain range of volume fractions. It is worth remarking that the models herein referred to as type II (q = 1) contain nonlinear terms after expansion of all the models; see equation (11) and equation (14). This model had been used by Tlili et al [26] to examine the motion of methanol conveying the mixture of magnesium oxide (MgO) and copper oxide (CuO) along x and y on an object with variable thickness subject to Lorentz force of magnetic strength and thermal jump. Dual solutions of the mathematical model suitable to investigate the mixture of , water, and Cu along a vertical surface due to pressure (mixed convection) and convectively heating at the wall subject to Lorentz force was established using type II model by Zainala et al [27]. Type II model for density, heat capacity, and viscosity was combined with the Yamada-Ota model for only thermal conductivity of hybrid nanofluid to simulate the mixture of SWCNT, MWCNT, and water subject to Lorentz force through a horizontal needle by Abbas et al [28]. In the presence of suction and Lorentz force, Type II model was used by Koriko et al [29] to notice that addition of to an existing -water leads to a hybrid nanofluid in which its velocity reduces negligibly as it flows along the horizontal x–direction and y–direction. Also, the local skin friction coefficients proportional to the friction decreases with higher suction. Type II model was also adopted by Das et al [30] to examine the transport phenomenon of -water hybrid nanofluid subject to Lorentz force associated with magnetohydrodynamics through a porous channel subject to entropy generation. Type II model for hybrid nanofluid was used by Khan et al [31] to examine the significance of adding SiO2 tiny particles to an existing MoS2/H2O nanofluid along a vertical surface due to mixed convection subject to Lorentz force. Volume fraction of nanoparticles was considered. It was shown that Nusselt number increases with suction.
1.2. Type I model for hybrid nanofluids
Xu and Sun [32] noticed that for smaller case of nanoparticle volume fraction, the significance of the retained nonlinear terms after the expansion of the models strictly for density, viscosity, volumetric expansion, and heat capacity are insignificant; hence it can be removed. These models herein referred to as type I (q = 0) in this report does not contain such nonlinear terms after expansion. In fact, for type of different nanoparticles, the following models are recommended
Babar and Ali [18] suggested that the models mentioned above (type 1) is suitable to model ternary-nanofluids (three different types of tiny particles). Type 1 model together with an extended Maxwell model for thermal conductivity was used by Kalidasan [33] to examine the mixture of colloidal mixture of copper and titania inside a C—shaped vacuum differentially heated. Inertia forced was noticed and it increases as the hot fluid moves towards the thermally active located at the left. Type I model was employed to examine unsteady copper, alumina, and water hybrid nanofluid along a vertical surface due to buoyancy forces and internal heat source. After using integral transforms method to solve the aforementioned problem by Saqib et al [34], it was discovered that temperature distribution increases while velocity decreases with higher volume of both nanoparticles. The aim of this study is to examine the significance of suction and dual stretching on the dynamics of various hybrid nanofluids (four base fluids and fourteen nanoparticles in the order of their densities) and establish a comparative analysis between type I and type II model of thermo-physical properties.
1.3. Research questions
Sequel to the aforementioned aim and objectives, this study provides answers to the following research questions:
- 1.Is there any difference in the dynamics of the hybrid nanofluid models using type I and type II (i.e in the presence and absence of nonlinear terms of density ρhnf(ϕ) and viscosity μhnf(ϕ) where ϕ is the volume fraction of the two nanoparticles)?
- 2.At various levels of suction, at what rate does stretching along both horizontal directions affects the variation in physical properties of SiO2 and multi walled carbon nanoparticles by (i) methanol, (ii) water, (iii) blood, and (iv) ethylene glycol?
- 3.How does enhancement in the stretching ratio affect the transport phenomenon of water conveying SiO2 and multi walled carbon nanoparticles using either type I or type II hybrid model?
- 4.At lower and higher suction, what is the corresponding influence of stretching ratio on the transport phenomena of various water based hybrid nanofluids using type I and type II viscosity models?
2. Mathematical formulation
The dynamics of hybrid nanofluids within the region where the effect of viscosity is significant was considered using the boundary layer argument by Prandtl [35] and Sakiadis [36]. It was assumed that dual linear stretching of the horizontal surface along x–direction and y–direction are induced with the velocities uw(x) = ax and vw(x) = by respectively. The switching of viscous term from type I to type II hybrid nanofluids for a better comparative analysis was modeled following Abegunrin et al [37] and Koriko et al [29]. Suitable governing equation for the dynamics is of the form
Maintenance of airway and improvement of oxygenation in patients are achievable through oral suctioning (Propp and Gillis, [38]). In fact, less invisible separation that do occur between the boundary layer can be eliminated by either non-uniform or uniform suction but non-uniform suction is more efficient; Ramsay et al [39]. In fluid dynamics, most especially analysis of boundary layer flows, this has led to the modeling of suction at the wall as v(x = 0, y) = vw where vw is the suction velocity. In this study, the exertion of force on the hybrid nanofluid as it flows along x–and y–directions in order to remove empty spaces at the wall was modeled. Figure 1 shows the expressions used to account for the unnoticed relationship between suction and unequal dual stretching. In the presence of suction, the boundary conditions at z = 0, y = 0, and along x–direction
Also, in the presence of suction, the boundary conditions at z = 0, x = 0, and along y–direction
Using conservation of energy, the energy equation for the flow along x–direction and y–direction is of the form
The boundary condition is of the form
The unit of suction velocity zw is . The densities of various nanoparticles considered are presented as table 1. Following Wakif et al [40] the viscosity of water at 25 oc is Pa-s. Bergman et al [41] noted that the viscosity of ethylene glycol is Pa-s. The viscosity of Methyl Alcohol (methanol) at 20oc according to Shell Chemicals [42] is = 0.00059 Pa-s. The viscosity of blood according to Jahangiri et al [43] is Pa-s. The physical quantities of interest for the transport phenomenon are the local skin friction coefficient and Nusselt number defined as
Viscosity of a nanofluid at different levels of nanoparticle volume fraction ϕ by Hemmat Esfe et al [44] shows that the dynamic viscosity ratio increases with ϕ for 0 ≤ ϕ ≤ 0.02 at the rate of 19.98. In the same table, it is shown that the dynamic viscosity ratio of nanofluid presented by Brinkman [45] increases with ϕ at the rate of 2.6. The viscosity of nanofluid as suggested by Brinkman [45] and used by Dogonchi et al [46] is

Specific heat capacity by Devi & Devi [25, 47] for type II hybrid nanofluid is
The benchmark released by Buongiorno et al [54] reveals that the thermal conductivity of nanofluids varies with particle aspect ratio, particle loading, and particle concentration. In the same direction, the model proposed by Maxwell [55], Nadeem et al [56], Hayat et al [57], Seyyed et al [58], and Devi & Devi [25, 47] was adopted to incorporate the enhancement in the thermal conductivity of Cu-Water nanofluid with volume fraction for type I and II hybrid nanofluids as

3. Reliability and discussion of results
In order to show that the new results are reliable, the solutions of equations (23)–(27) were obtained for a limiting case as shown in tables 2 and 3. It is worth remarking that the solutions of both methods are accurate as it yields almost equal results. Based on the level of the numerical accuracy, it is valid to conclude that the results are reliable and valid. The obtained values for type I model (q = 0) and type II model (q = 1) are approximately equivalent for ϕ1 + ϕ2 = 0.02. The insignificant difference in the velocities using both models can be associated to the fact that an increases in with (ϕ1, ϕ2) in equation (13) and with (ϕ1, ϕ2) in equation (14) for 0 ≤ (ϕ1, ϕ2) ≤ 0.02 are equal for ϕ1 = ϕ2 = 0.01; see table 4. Based on the analysis presented in table 4, it is seen that the percentage difference between equation (13) and equation (14) at ϕ1 = ϕ2 = 0.3 was estimated as −39.79122679%. This percentage decreases is too large. In fact, the outcome of the experimental research on Ag − MgO/water mixture by Hemmat Esfe et al [44] also suggests that the nanoparticle volume fraction of viscosity model related to that of Brinkman model should be strictly satisfies ϕ ≤ 0.02. Considering the fact that changes in the viscosity of hybrid nanofluid is strongly influenced by both volume fraction and temperature, the relative viscosity model of hybrid nanofluid suggested by Amini et al [69] is recommended. There are different mode of stretching. A few are linear stretching, non-linear stretching, and dual stretching. Dual stretching is a case in which the stretching at the wall is in two different directions. As presented in equation (4)–(7), the first stretching is parallel to x–direction while the second stretching is parallel to y–direction. Table 3 shows that as the ratio of stretching rate c increases, the obtained results are reliable due to closeness in the solution of bvp4c and ShT4RK.

When ϕ1 = ϕ2 = 0.01, with the aid of type II hybrid nanofluid models, an attempt had been made to determine the variations in the local skin friction coefficients and temperature a few distances away from the wall in the dynamics of SiO2 and multi-walled carbon nanoparticles by (i) methanol, (ii) water, (iii) blood, and (iv) ethylene glycol. As seen in tables 5–8, local skin friction coefficient that is directly proportional to friction decreases as stretching related parameter c increases at different rates. The rate of decrease in with c is higher in all the four cases of hybrid nanofluids compared to the observed changes in with c. In all the four dynamics of hybrid nanofluids, it is worth concluding that the temperature distribution decreases in each transport phenomenon with higher c. This is not true in the case of ethylene glycol-based nanofluid where its density is and Pr = 150.46. With a change in the base fluid from methanol to water, the density increases but the Prandtl number decreases. These changes are not capable to cause a significant variation in the local skin friction coefficients as shown in table 6. In the dynamics of blood conveying SiO2 and multi-walled carbon nanoparticles, temperature distribution a few distances away from the wall is seen to depreciate with c at the rate of −0.00261707; see table 7. In the case of highly dense ethylene glycol-based hybrid nanofluid, the kinematic viscosity is approximately zero thus affected the velocity and temperature distribution as shown in table 8. Figure 2 shows that the horizontal velocity for flow along x–direction decreases with a higher stretching ratio c. However, the horizontal velocity for the dynamics along y–direction increases near the wall due to a higher stretching ratio c as shown in figure 3. Physically, the stretching rate 'a' which is a variable in the similarity variable is also a major variable in the stretching velocity uw(x) along x–direction. A higher magnitude of stretching ratio c corresponds to a lower stretching rate a. This is the major reason why the horizontal velocity decreases with a higher stretching ratio in the flow along x–direction but increases in the flow along y–direction. Figure 4 reveals that the temperature distribution in the dynamics of hybrid nanofluid decreases with growth in stretching ratio c. In heat transfer, when velocity is increasing, higher heat energy is transported away from the domain. The observed results in figure 4 is justifiable because the observed increase in the flow along y–direction is not only substantial but also dominates the decrease in the flow along x–direction. This is also responsible for the variation in the temperature gradient proportional to the heat transfer rate as shown in figure 5. At different levels of stretching ratio, figures 6 and 7 present the variation in the vertical velocity of the flow along x–direction and y–direction. As stretching ratio increases within the domain 0.5 ≤ c ≤ 4.5, a turning point in the vertical velocity of the flow along x–direction is ascertained a few distances away from η = 0.6. In this case, as shown in figure 6, the maximum vertical velocity is observable at the extreme free stream when the stretching ratio is small in magnitude. The reverse is the pattern of changes in the vertical velocity of the flow along y–direction as stretching ratio strongly affects the suction in this case as shown in figure 7. At the wall η = 0, it is worthy that f = fw and . As methanol flows in x–direction and y–direction conveying multiple wall CNT and Silicon dioxide nanoparticles, it is shown in figures 8 and 9 that the vertical velocities (f(η) and g(η)) increase with suction fw at different rates. The observed curve in the vertical velocity of the flows in y–direction is more pronounced. It is important to remark that the corresponding force due to suction is parallel to the vertical velocity. Each time the suction works, the pressure is lower and higher. Thus, it pushes the flow in an upward direction and reduces the flow in a forward direction as shown in figures 10 and 11. The observed decrease in the horizontal flow along x–direction and y–direction is associated with the fact that the corresponding force due to suction is perpendicular to the vertical velocity. The suction introduced in equations (4) and equation (6) above actually reduces pressure. Due to the nature of dual stretching in both horizontal directions (), vertical velocity of the flow along () direction increases with suction but the horizontal velocity of the flow along () direction decreases with suction due to the inherent relationship between stretching ratio and suction. In a study by Stevens et al [70] it was remarked that a significant reduction in the flow of blood is achievable through higher suction. It is discovered that the local skin friction coefficients decrease with suction. For brevity, this is not shown as it can be easily deduced from tables 9–15. The temperature distribution is a decreasing property of suction due to enhancement in the Nusselt number due to higher suction as shown in from tables 9–15. However, the rate of decrease in and is optimal in the case of methanol conveying highly dense nanoparticles like silver and gold. Using the slope of linear regression through the data point suggested by Shah et al [71], Animasaun et al [72, 73], and Wakif et al [74].

4. Conclusion
In this report, the significance of suction and dual stretching on the dynamics of various hybrid nanofluids (four base fluids and fourteen nanoparticles) had been investigated using type I and type II models of thermophysical properties. Based on the observed analysis of results, it is worth concluding that
- 1.
- 2.combine nature of dual stretching and suction is responsible for the major reason why the vertical velocity of the flow along () direction increases with suction but the horizontal velocity of the flow along () direction decreases with suction.
- 3.local skin friction coefficients and temperature distribution are decreasing properties of suction. However, optimal Nusselt number is ascertained at a larger value of stretching ratio and suction in the dynamics of water conveying (less dense nanoparticles) Multiple wall CNT and silicon dioxide.
