ANN-based two hidden layers computational procedure for analysis of heat transport dynamics in polymer-based trihybrid Carreau nanofluid flow over needle geometry by Adil Darvesh, Fethi Mohamed Maiz, Basma Souayeh, Luis Jaime Collantes Santisteban, Hakim AL. Garalleh, Afnan Al Agha, Lucerito Katherine Ortiz García, Nicole Anarella Sánchez-Miranda

“…Findings: The velocity profile of a trihybrid nanofluid decreases with an increasing values of Weissenberg number and magnetic parameter but in case of numeric growth in Carreau index parameter, the magnitude of velocity is increasing due to shear-thinning behavior. On the other hand, temperature profile of a polymer-based trihybrid nanofluids decreased with augmented values of radiation parameter and heat generation parameter due to the enhanced radiative heat transfer and the specific thermal properties of the nanofluid as well as generated amount of heat respectively.…”
