This investigation aims to explain the study of heat transfer and entropy generation of magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) viscous fluid flowing through a ciliated tube. Heat transfer study has massive importance in various biomedical and biological industry problems. The metachronal wave propagation is the leading cause behind this viscous creeping flow. A low Reynolds number is used as the inertial forces are weaker than viscous forces, and also creeping flow limitations are fulfilled. For the cilia movement, a very large wavelength of a metachronal wave is taken into account. Entropy generation is used to examine the heat transfer through the flow. Exact mathematical solutions are calculated and analyzed with the help of graphs. Streamlines are also plotted.

Present model analyze the flow and heat transfer of water-based carbon nanotubes (CNTs) [Formula: see text] ferrofluid flow between two radially stretchable rotating disks in the presence of a uniform magnetic field. A study for entropy generation analysis is carried out to measure the irreversibility of the system. Using similarity transformation, the governing equations in the model are transformed into a set of nonlinear coupled differential equations in non-dimensional form. The nonlinear coupled differential equations are solved numerically through the finite element method. Variable viscosity, variable thermal conductivity, thermal radiation, and volume concentration have a crucial role in heat transfer enhancement. The results for the entropy generation rate, velocity distributions, and temperature distribution are graphically presented in the presence of physical and geometrical parameters of the flow. Increasing the values of ferromagnetic interaction number, Reynolds number, and temperature-dependent viscosity enhances the skin friction coefficients on the surface and wall of the lower disk. The local heat transfer rate near the lower disk is reduced in the presence of Harman number, Reynolds number, and Prandtl number. The ferrohydrodynamic flow between two rotating disks might be useful to optimize the use of hybrid nanofluid for liquid seals in rotating machinery.

AbstractThe entropy generation for a reactive Williamson nanofluid flow past a vertical Riga system is the subject of this article. The effects of MHD, thermophoresis, nonlinear heat radiation and varying heat conductivity are modeled into the heat equation in the established model. Suitable similarity transformations are examined to bring down the partial differential equations into ordinary differential equations. The Homotopy analysis approach is used to solve the dimensionless transport equations analytically. The graphic information of the various parameters that emerged from the model is effectively collected and deliberated. The temperature field expands with thermophoresis, Brownian motion and temperature ratio parameters as the modified Hartmann number forces an increase in velocity, according to the findings of this analysis. With the increase in the fluid material terms, the entropy generation and Bejan number increase. Riga plate has numerous applications in improving the thermo-physics features of a fluid, the value of magnetic field embraces an important role in fluid mechanics. An external electric field can be used to control flow in weak electrically conductive fluids. The Riga plate is one of the devices used in this regard. It’s a device that creates electromagnetic fields. They produce the Lorentz force which is a force that directs fluid flow. The authors have discussed the entropy optimization for a reactive Williamson nanofluid flow past a vertical Riga plate is addressed. This is the first investigation on mass and heat transfer flow that the authors are aware of, and no similar work has yet been published in the literature. A thorough mathematical examination is also required to demonstrate the model’s regularity. The authors believe that the results acquired are novel and have not been plagiarized from any other sources.
