Abstract
The main focus in this work is to explore the features of laminar Blasius and Rayleigh–Stokes flow with ohmic heating under suspension of hybrid nanofluids. The mathematical model is converted into pair of self-similarity equations by applying appropriate transformations. The reduced similarity equivalences are then exploited numerically by Runge–Kutta–Fehlberg fourth–fifth-order scheme. To know the better description of problem, the flow and energy transport features are explored for distinct values of different factors. The present study concludes that the thermal conductivity of hybrid nanofluid is higher than that of a regular nanofluid in the presence of specified factors.
