The thermal management of a system needs an accurate and efficient measurement of exergy. For optimal performance, entropy should be minimized. This study explores the enhancement of the thermal exchange and entropy in the stream of Eyring–Powell fluid comprising nanoparticles saturating the vertical oriented dual cylindrical domain with uniform thermal conductivity and viscous dissipation effects. A symmetrical sine wave over the walls is used to induce the flow. The mathematical treatment for the conservation laws are described by a set of PDEs, which are, later on, converted to ordinary differential equations by homotopy deformations and then evaluated on the Mathematica software tool. The expression of the pressure rise term has been handled numerically by using numerical integration by Mathematica through the algorithm of the Newton–Cotes formula. The impact of the various factors on velocity, heat, entropy profile, and the Bejan number are elaborated pictorially and tabularly. The entropy generation is enhanced with the variation of viscous dissipation but reduced in the case of the concentration parameter, but viscous dissipation reveals opposite findings for the Newtonian fluid. From the abovementioned detailed discussion, it can be concluded that Eyring–Powell shows the difference in behavior in the entropy generation and in the presence of nanoparticles due to the significant dissipation effects, and also, it travels faster than the viscous fluid. A comparison between the Eyring-Powell and Newtonian fluid are also made for each pertinent parameter through special cases. This study may be applicable for cancer therapy in biomedicine by nanofluid characteristics in various drugs considered as a non-Newtonian fluid.

The Impact

The impact of nonlinear thermal radiations rotating with the augmentation of heat transfer flow of time-dependent single-walled carbon nanotubes is investigated. Nanofluid flow is induced by a shrinking sheet within the rotating system. The impact of viscous dissipation is taken into account. Nanofluid flow is assumed to be electrically conducting. Similarity transformations are applied to transform PDEs (partial differential equations) into ODEs (ordinary differential equations). Transformed equations are solved by the homotopy analysis method (HAM). The radiative source term is involved in the energy equation. For entropy generation, the second law of thermodynamics is applied. The Bejan number represents the current investigation of non-dimensional entropy generation due to heat transfer and fluid friction. The results obtained indicate that the thickness of the boundary layer decreases for greater values of the rotation parameter. Moreover, the unsteadiness parameter decreases the temperature profile and increases the velocity field. Skin friction and the Nusselt number are also physically and numerically analyzed.

This study investigates the unsteady heat transfer and entropy generation characteristics of a non-Newtonian fluid, squeezed and extruded between two parallel plates. In an effort to capture the underlying thermo-hydrodynamics, the power-law model is used here to describe the constitutive behavior of the non-Newtonian fluid. The results obtained from the present analysis reveal the intricate interplay between the fluid rheology and the squeezing dynamics, toward altering the Nusselt number and Bejan number characteristics. Findings from this study may be utilized to design optimal process parameters for enhanced thermodynamic performance of engineering systems handling complex fluids undergoing simultaneous extrusion and squeezing.

A numeric investigation is executed to understand the impact of moving-wall direction, thermal radiation, entropy generation and nanofluid volume fraction on combined convection and energy transfer of nanoliquids in a differential heated box. The top wall of the enclosed box is assumed to move either to the left or the right direction which affects the stream inside the box. The horizontal barriers are engaged to be adiabatic. The derived mathematical model is solved by the control volume technique. The results are presented graphically to know the impact of the dissimilar ways of moving wall, Richardson number, Bejan number, thermal radiation, cup mixing and average temperatures. It is concluded that the stream and the thermal distribution are intensely affected by the moving-wall direction. It is established that the thermal radiation enhances the convection energy transport inside the enclosure.

The combined effects of the magnetic field, suction/injection, and convective boundary condition on heat transfer and entropy generation in an electrically conducting Casson fluid flow through an inclined porous microchannel are scrutinized. The temperature-dependent heat source is also accounted. Numerical simulation for the modelled problem is presented via Runge–Kutta–Felhberg-based shooting technique. Special attention is given to analyze the impact of involved parameters on the profiles of velocity [Formula: see text], temperature [Formula: see text], entropy generation [Formula: see text], and Bejan number [Formula: see text]. It is established that entropy generation rate decreases at the walls with an increase in Hartmann number [Formula: see text], while it increases at the center region of the microchannel.

The Impact

The entropy generation analysis of a thermal process is capable of determining the efficiency of that process and is therefore helpful to optimize the thermal system operating under various conditions. There are several ingredients upon which the phenomenon of entropy generation can depend, such as the nature of flow and the fluid, the assumed conditions, and the material properties of the working fluid. However, the dependence of entropy generation phenomenon upon such properties has so far not been fully realized, in view of the existing literature. On the other hand, based upon the existing studies, it has been established that the non-uniform concentration of nanoparticles in the base fluid does cause to enhance the heat transfer rate. Therefore, it is logical to investigate the entropy production under the impact of non-homogenous distribution of nanoparticles. Based upon this fact the aim of current study is to explore a comprehensive detail about the influence of non-homogeneous nanoparticles concentration on entropy production phenomenon by considering a laminar viscous flow past a moving continuous flat plate. Non-uniform concentration is considered in the nanofluid modeling in which the Brownian and thermophoretic diffusions are considered which impart significant effects on velocity and temperature profiles. An exact self-similar solution to this problem is observed to be possible and is reported. The effects of various controlling physical parameters such as Brinkman number, Schmidt number, Prandtl number, diffusion parameter, and concentration parameter on both local as well as total entropy generation number and Bejan number are elaborated by several graphs and Tables. The obtained results reveal a significant impact of all aforementioned parameters on entropy generation characteristics. It is observed that by a 20% increase in nanoparticles concentration the total entropy generation is increased up to 67% for a set of fixed values of remaining parameters.

The appropriate utilization of entropy generation may provoke dipping losses in the available energy of nanofluid flow. The effects of chemical entropy generation in axisymmetric flow of Casson nanofluid between radiative stretching disks in the presence of thermal radiation, chemical reaction, and heat absorption/generation features have been mathematically modeled and simulated via interaction of slip boundary conditions. Shooting method has been employed to numerically solve dimensionless form of the governing equations, including expressions referring to entropy generation. The impacts of the physical parameters on fluid velocity components, temperature and concentration profiles, and entropy generation number are presented. Simulation results revealed that axial component of velocity decreases with variation of Casson fluid parameter. A declining variation in Bejan number was noticed with increment of Casson fluid constant. Moreover, a progressive variation in Bejan number resulted due to the impact of Prandtl number and stretching ratio constant.

Purpose This study aims to examine the flow characteristics of Ree–Eyring fluid between two rotating disks. The characteristics of heat transfer are discussed in presence of viscous dissipation, heat source/sink and nonlinear radiative heat flux. Design/methodology/approach Nonlinear flow expressions lead to ordinary ones through adequate similarity transformations. The ordinary differential system has been tackled through optimal homotopic method. The impact of different flow variables on the velocity field, entropy generation rate and temperature fields is graphically discussed. The surface drag force and heat transfer rate are numerically examined via various pertinent parameters. Findings By minimization of values of stretching parameter and Brinkman number, the entropy generation rate can be controlled. The entropy generation rate enhances for higher values of magnetic parameter, while the Bejan number is decreased via magnetic parameter. Originality/value No such work is yet published in the literature.

In this article, we have briefly examined the entropy generation in magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) Eyring–Powell fluid over an unsteady oscillating porous stretching sheet. The impact of thermal radiation and heat source/sink are taken in this investigation. The impact of embedded parameters on velocity function, temperature function, entropy generation rate, and Bejan number are deliberated through graphs, and discussed as well. By studying the entropy generation in magnetohydrodynamic Eyring–Powell fluid over an unsteady oscillating porous stretching sheet, the entropy generation rate is reduced with escalation in porosity, thermal radiation, and magnetic parameters, while increased with the escalation in Reynolds number. Also, the Bejan number is increased with the escalation in porosity and magnetic parameter, while increased with the escalation in thermal radiation parameter. The impact of skin fraction coefficient and local Nusselt number are discussed through tables. The partial differential equations are converted to ordinary differential equation with the help of similarity variables. The homotopy analysis method (HAM) is used for the solution of the problem. The results of this investigation agree, satisfactorily, with past studies.

Jeffery Nanofluid

This study has been managed for the investigation of entropy generation of inclined magnetic field (MG) on the Jeffery nanofluid flow on a stretching surface containing viscous dissipation. Heat generation or absorption effects are likewise considered on the magnetohydromagnetic flow problem and electric field is considered negligible. The boundary layer approach is incorporated for simplification of the proposed governing equations in which the target of analysis is focused near the surface of the fluidic problem. The concept of dimensionless parameters are used for simplification of the proposed system which overcomes the complexity of the problem. The relaxation and retardation times are also considered for the non-Newtonian Jeffrey fluid model for better analysis of the entropy generation of inclined MG on the Jeffery nanofluid flow on a stretching surface containing viscous dissipation. The strength of analytical homotopy analysis approach is employed for finding the solutions of the proposed fluidic system in terms of energy, momentum and concentration which is effective in the spatial domain. Graphical explanation for flow parameters have been incorporated. The tabular description is given for the convergence analysis and comparison of velocity gradient at the sheet surface f″ (0) for analytical solution (HAM) computed in this manuscript along with the numerical solution. The aim of second law analysis can be achieved by increasing the magnitude of the finite different temperature parameter. The current study is also described for Newtonian fluid as a special case of our study. Stream lines patterns are also provided for both Newtonian and non-Newtonian fluid models.
