Entropy generation analysis for axisymmetric flow of Carreau nanofluid over a radially stretching disk

Entropy Optimization on Axisymmetric Darcy–Forchheimer Powell–Eyring Nanofluid over a Horizontally Stretching Cylinder with Viscous Dissipation Effect

The effect of entropy optimization on an axisymmetric Darcy–Forchheimer Powell–Eyring nanofluid flow caused by a horizontally permeable stretching cylinder, as well as non-linear thermal radiation, was investigated in this research work. The leading equations of the current problem were changed into ODEs by exhausting appropriate transformations. To deduce the reduced system, the numerical method bvp4c was used. The outcome of non-dimensional relevant factors on velocity, entropy, concentration, temperature, Bejan number, drag force, and Nusselt number is discussed and demonstrated using graphs and tables. It is perceived that, with a higher value of volume fraction parameter, the skin friction falls down. Likewise, it is found that the Nusselt number drops with enhancing the value of the volume fraction. Moreover, the result reveals that the entropy generation increases as the volume fraction, curvature parameter, and Brinkman number increase.

Heat Transfer and Entropy in a Vertical Porous Plate Subjected to Suction Velocity and MHD

This article presents an investigation of heat transfer in a porous medium adjacent to a vertical plate. The porous medium is subjected to a magnetohydrodynamic effect and suction velocity. The governing equations are nondepersonalized and converted into ordinary differential equations. The resulting equations are solved with the help of the finite difference method. The impact of various parameters, such as the Prandtl number, Grashof number, permeability parameter, radiation parameter, Eckert number, viscous dissipation parameter, and magnetic parameter, on fluid flow characteristics inside the porous medium is discussed. Entropy generation in the medium is analyzed with respect to various parameters, including the Brinkman number and Reynolds number. It is noted that the velocity profile decreases in magnitude with respect to the Prandtl number, but increases with the radiation parameter. The Eckert number has a marginal effect on the velocity profile. An increased radiation effect leads to a reduced thermal gradient at the hot surface.

Entropy Generation in Magnetized Bioconvective Nanofluid Flow Along a Vertical Cylinder with Gyrotactic Microorganisms

This paper presents the analysis of thermal optimization in magnetic materials based on the entropy generation in a mixed convective MHD flow of an electrically conductive nano liquid having motile microorganisms together with a vertical cylinder. By using the convection boundary condition, the process of heat transport is examined in detail. With coupled linear boundary conditions the related equations (continuity, momentuum and energy) are reduced to five ODE’s. The RKF-4,5 method by shooting algorithm was employed to examine variation of physical parameters under study. The resuts of vital physical parameters on the wall friction, Nusselt number, mass flux, wall of motile microorganism flux, along with velocity profiles, temperature, concentration of nanopar-ticles, and density of motile microbes, were studied in detail. It is detected that heat transport rate is 0.81% greater for cylindrical surface compared to flat plate surface.
