Description

Linear stability analysis is conducted to investigate the longitudinal and transverse rolls (TRs) generated in Rayleigh-Bard convection in mono and hybrid nanoliquids confined between two infinite inclined parallel slots. Thermophysical properties of six mono nanoliquids and fifteen hybrid nanoliquids are calculated for different volume fractions (0.5%, 1%, 2%) using phenomenological laws and mixture theory. The shooting method is used to solve boundary eigenvalue problems to obtain the eigenvalues for 16 different boundary conditions. It is observed that as the inclination angle is increased, it delays the onset of longitudinal rolls in the case of all boundary conditions. However, it advances the onset of TRs except when the lower plate is adiabatic. The addition of mono and hybrid nanoparticles results in the advancement of the onset of convection. The addition of SWCNT and SWCNT Al 2 O 3 accelerates the onset of convection the most while Cu and Cu-Ag accelerates the onset of convection the least amongst the mono and hybrid nanoparticles considered in the study. 2023 IOP Publishing Ltd.
