Abstract

Hybrid nanofluids reinforced with polymer-based matrices and nanoparticles have emerged as promising working fluids for advanced composite processing and thermal management systems. Their superior thermo-physical properties enable efficient cooling and energy transport, making them suitable for applications in polymer extrusion, composite curing, thermal insulation coatings, solar energy devices, electronic packaging, and nuclear system cooling. In this study, we investigate the heat and mass transfer behavior of magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) hybrid nanofluid flow over a stretching surface embedded in a porous medium, incorporating the combined effects of radiation and chemical reactions. The governing nonlinear partial differential equations are transformed into ordinary differential equations through similarity transformations and solved numerically using the shooting technique in MATLAB. The influence of key parameters such as the magnetic field, radiation, and chemical reaction rates on velocity, temperature, and concentration distributions is examined. Engineering performance measures including skin friction, Nusselt number, and Sherwood number are evaluated. The findings provide deeper insights into hybrid nanofluid transport phenomena with direct implications for polymer nanocomposite fabrication, advanced heat exchanger design, and energy-efficient composite material processing.

Keywords: Hybrid nanofluid, Polymer composites, Stretching surface, chemical reaction, Heat and mass transfer.
