Assessment of the local thermal non-equilibrium condition for nanofluid flow through porous media: a comparative analysis

This investigation aims to scrutinize the general criterion for local thermal non-equilibrium (LTNE) and to focus on the influence of nanoparticles (AA7075 and Cu) in the base fluids (methanol and NaAlg) by employing the Tiwari–Das model. The heat transfer features of a nanoliquid flow over a stretching sheet in a porous medium are investigated numerically in terms of parameters of engineering interest. The system of modelled equations is...
