In the current investigation, a (TiO2–Ag/water) hybrid nanofluid (NF), saturated porous medium filled wavy-walled enclosure, and an unstable magneto-mixed convective flow are examined. Heat radiation (Rd) is present with the constant magnetic field (B0), and the cavity, which is partially heated from its bottom wall and cooled from its wavy-left and right walls, contains a square solid block that is solidly surrounded on all sides. The governing PDEs, which are represented in terms of stream function, temperature, and nanoparticle volume percent, are numerically solved using a finite volume technique. It is discovered that as the dimensionless heat source length (B) rises, the streamlines' strength marginally changes while the isotherms in the wavy porous cavity grow increasingly obvious. The results show that increasing the number of undulations and hybrid NF generally produces a higher average Nusselt number when the wave amplitude parameter A = 0.3 and the volume fractions of (TiO2 − Ag/water) Hybrid NF = 0.05. Raising the volume percentage of Hybrid NF enhances the average Nusselt number while increasing the Hartmann number observed happened with decreases the average Nusselt number. One of the primary factors contributing to the production of entropy is the irreversibility of the magnetic force, which leads the isentropic lines to diffuse toward the interior of the enclosure as Ha rises. In comparison with previous case studies, the highest Nusselt number is at λ = 3, and it rises in every case as the wave amplitude parameter and the percentage of hybrid NF volume increase. It was discovered that increasing porosity greatly increased local Nusselt numbers due to improved heat transfer within the enclosure. The lowest local Nusselt number has been determined to be Q = − 2, which represents the heat generation/absorption factor. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
