Thermal performance of aqueous alumina–titania hybrid nanomaterials dispersed
1. Introduction
The ability of heat transport needs to be boosted upto ful¯ll the current demand of
energy and this can be accomplished by utilizing liquids with their higher thermo-
physical feature. The initiative work on nanoliquid was done by Choi and Eastman.1
Such kind of liquids are basically the mixture of nanoparticles in the regular liquid.

After the pioneer work done by Choi and Eastman,1 many studies have elaborated on
nanomaterials.2–24 However, a new type of nanoliquid called hybrid nanoliquid
currently prompted the engineers and scientists. Hybrid material is basically the
combination of physical and chemical aspects of di®erent substances in the same
phase. Hybrid nanomaterial can be made by scattering nanoparticles in two methods
(i) di®erent kinds of nanomaterials dispersed in traditional liquid and (ii) hybrid
(conjoined) nanoparticles dispersed in common liquid. These nano°uids have higher
physical strength, thermal conductivity, chemical stability, mechanical resistance
when compared with sole nanomaterials. Analysis of hybrid mixture (AlO3–Cu/
water) in a circular tube is inspired by Suresh et al.25 They concluded that more
rapidly heat is transferred in hybrid nanoliquid when compared with common
nano°uid. Some current studies in this ¯eld can be observed in Refs. 26–43.
The temperature-based thermal conduction and viscosity gain a tremendous at-
tention owing to the fact that the physical feature °uids may vary substantially with
variation in temperature.44–48 The viscosity escalated for gases as the temperature
rises whereas a reverse trend is noted for liquids. The viscosity and thermal con-
duction of lubricating °uids greatly a®ected the heat production due to the internal
friction. Therefore, these aspects cannot be considered constant further. Because
variation in such properties with temperatures have distinct realistic involvement in
metallurgy, engineering, in extrusion process, in heat handled materials which °ow
between carrier belt and feed roll. The local transportation phenomenon can be
enhanced with an increment in temperature by decaying the viscosity. Thus, the
route of heat transport at the surface is also a®ected. Therefore, to describe the °ow
visualization correctly, it is signi¯cant for the liquid to have variations in viscosity.
The °ow feature remarkably changed by considering the temperature-based viscosity
rather than the constant one.49,50 Turkyilmazoglu51 theoretically explained the im-
portance of temperature-based viscosity on rotating geometry. Some other research
in this area can be noted in Refs. 52–56.
The aforementioned comprehensive analysis suggests that the study has not
attempted to explore the comparative analysis of titania and alumina (TiO2/Al2O3)
hybrid and nano°uids. Thus, our prime objective of this analysis is covered by ¯ve

Second, to inspect the temperature-based viscosity of H2O and nanoparticles (TiO2)

each iteration and execution is 20 s. The computed outcomes are interpreted
graphically in Figs. 2–12. Table 1 is drawn for description of thermophysical features
for both base liquid and nanoparticles. Throughout the complete analysis, dotted line
in the ¯gures is for Al2O3 and water and the solid line stands for Al2O3–TiO2–water.

energy. In addition, it is noted that hybrid nanoliquid (Al2O3–TiO2–water) shows a
consequential part in increasing the temperature when compared with nanoliquid
(Al2O3–water). Features of rotation parameter (Kr ) on temperature is described in
Fig. 3. The result reveals an increase in temperature (ðÞ). Further observation
shows that hybrid nanoliquid is more e®ective in enhancing temperature than

temperature enhancement than nanoliquid.
Figures 7–12 are designed to analyze the e®ect of interested physical variables on
temperature gradient and skin friction for both Al2O3–TiO2–water and Al2O3–water
nanoliquids. It is seen via Fig. 7 that for larger Ec, temperature gradient for both
nano and hybrid nanoliquids is enhanced. In fact, the higher values of Ec provide
more energy to working liquid, that is why temperature gradient is enhanced. In-
°uence of Q on temperature gradient is designed via Fig. 8. Observation indicates
that temperature gradient increases via Q for both cases of nanoliquids. Further, it is
worth indicating from Figs. 7 and 8 that a dominant behavior is observed for hybrid
