Popis: Studying waste discharge concentration across a convergent/divergent channel is essential in environmental-related applications. Successful environmental administration must understand the behavior and concentration of waste contaminants released into these channels. Analyzing waste discharge concentrations aids in determining the efficacy of treatment techniques and regulatory controls in lowering pollutant scales. Because of this, the current analysis examines the ternary-based nanofluid flow across convergent/divergent channels, including non-uniform heat source/sink and concentration pollutants. The study also concentrates on understanding the movement and heat transmission characteristics in ternary-based nano-liquid systems with divergent and convergent channels and maximizing the ternary nanofluid flow’s effectiveness. The equations representing the flow, temperature, and concentrations are transformed into a system of ODEs (ordinary differential equations) and are obtained by proper similarity variables. Further, solutions of ODEs are gathered by using the Runge Kutta Fehlberg 4-5 (RKF-45) method and shooting procedure. The significant dimensionless constraints and their impacts are discussed using plots. The results mainly focus on improving local and external pollutant source variation will enhance the concentration for the divergent channel while declining for the convergent channel. Adding a solid fraction of nanoparticles will escalate the surface drag force. These findings may enhance heat management, lessen pollutant dispersion, and enhance the circulation of nanofluid systems.
