Abstract : Ternary nanofluids have attracted significant attention due to their improved thermal characteristics and adaptability for many applications. Nanoparticles interact with one another in complex ways and have a noticeable effect on heat transmission. Due to this, nanofluids have significant promise in several fields. Notably, investigating the behavior of ternary nanofluids via a wedge enables the optimization of heat transfer processes in heat exchangers, cooling mechanisms, and thermal control systems. The current study examines the effects of thermal radiation and thermophoretic particle deposition on the ternary hybrid nanofluid flow across a wedge. The governing equations are precisely modeled and solved numerically using Runge Kutta Fehlberg’s fourth-fifth order (RKF-45) approach and shooting procedure. The governing equations are reduced to ordinary differential equations (ODEs) using similarity transformations. The results are efficiently shown via visual depictions, facilitating a precise understanding of the outcomes. The study outcomes show that increased thermophoretic parameter and solid volume fraction decreases the mass transfer rate. Researchers may incorporate this comprehension to effectively utilize ternary nanofluids to enhance heat transfer in practical situations, as well as the development of technology and energy management.
