Impact of Thermal Radiation on MHD GO-Fe₂O₄/EG Flow and Heat Transfer over a Moving Surface

The heat transmission in a non-Newtonian hybrid nanofluid that combines particles of graphene oxide (GO) and iron dioxide (Fe₂O₄) with the base fluid chosen as ethylene glycol (EG) is analyzed, including the effects of radiation and magnetic influence. The hybrid nanofluid flow is assumed to be asymmetric because it flows along a horizontal shrinking surface in response to external inducements. The mathematically modelled partial differential equations (PDEs) form is then derived into ordinary differential equations (ODEs) by implementing a proper similarity transformation to the PDEs. The mathematical formulation is then algorithmically estimated employing the bvp4c solver in MATLAB. The parameters’ effects on the skin friction measurement, local Nusselt number, entropy generation, velocity profile, and temperature profile are investigated and explained. This finding illustrated that the skin friction is augmented between 13.7% and 66.5% with the magnetic field, velocity slips, and the concentration of GO particles. As for the heat transmission ratio, only thermal radiation and velocity slip effects will affect the heat upsurge with the range of 99.8–147% for taken parameter values. The entropy for the shrinking case is found to increase between 16.6% and 43.9% with the magnetic field, velocity slip, and Eckert number.
