This work compares the heat transfer characteristics of traditional nanofluid with that of emerging hybrid nanofluid. Hybrid nanofluid, a new type of conventional fluid, has been used toward the enhancement of heat transfer in the boundary layer flow. A new model of thermophysical properties is empl...
