The purpose of this paper is to study flow of the Marangoni boundary layer pasta surface embedded in a porous medium saturated by a hybrid nanofluid in the presence of a magnetic field and thermal radiation.
The governing model was converted into ordinary differential equations applying proper similarity transformations. Therefore, Laplace transform was used to exactly solve the resulted equations. Hence, the influence of the velocity profile and temperature distribution was investigated under impacts of the involved parameters.
In the case of regular fluid, i.e. the solid volume fractions are zeros, the current results are in a very good agreement with those in the literature. It was found that the velocity decreases (increases) on increasing the parameters of copper-nanoparticles volume fraction, magnetic field and suction (permeability and injection). Further, the temperature increases (decreases) with an increase of the copper-nanoparticles volume fraction, magnetic field, injection and radiation (permeability and suction).
The current results of the Marangoni boundary layer problem for hybrid nanofluids are new, original and extend the previous problems investigated by many authors for the case of regular/nano fluids.
