The impacts of entropy generation and Hall current on MHD Casson fluid over a stretching surface with velocity slip factor have been numerically analyzed. Numerical work for the governing equations is established by using a shooting method with a fourth-order Runge–Kutta integration scheme. The outcomes show that the entropy generation is enhanced with a magnetic parameter, Reynolds number and group parameter. Further, the reverse behavior is observed with the Hall parameter, Eckert number, Casson parameter and slip factor. Also, it is viewed that Bejan number reduces with a group parameter.

In this paper, both first and second laws of thermodynamics are employed to investigate the combined effects of magnetic field, buoyancy force, velocity slip, suction/injection, porous medium permeability, thermal radiation absorption, viscous and Joule heating on mixed convective flow of an electrical conducting Casson fluid in a vertical channel. The dimensionless governing equations are obtained and solved numerically using a shooting technique coupled with a fourth order Runge-Kutta-Fehlberg integration scheme. The influence of various thermophysical parameters on velocity and temperature profiles, skin friction, Nusselt number, entropy generation rate and Bejan number are presented graphically and discussed quantitatively. It is found that with appropriate combination of thermophysical parameter values the entropy generation rate in the presence of an applied magnetic field can successfully.

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 analysis of MHD flow has been a concern of consideration for research scientists and engineers. In this treatise, the steady MHD flow of an incompressible and electrically conducting Casson fluid in a micro-channel with heat generation and viscous dissipation, in the presence of hydrodynamic slip and convective boundary conditions, is examined. Exact solutions of non-dimensional steady governing equations are obtained in closed form. Transient fluid velocity, temperature, entropy generation, and Bejan number are depicted by the line graphs whereas rate of heat transfer and skin-friction coefficient are computed in tabular form for pertinent flow parameters. It is established that the entropy generation rate and Bejan number increases for increasing values of the Casson parameter and heat generation parameter. In particular, the Casson parameter accelerates the skin-friction coefficient while it provides resistance to the rate of heat transfer near the channel walls. Casson fluid finds significant applications in biomechanics, polymer processing industries, and food processing.

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.

Here our purpose is to explore the entropy generation in nanofluid MHD flow by curved stretching sheet; second-order slip is considered. Additional effects of viscous dissipation, Joule heating, and activation energy are taken. Temperature and concentration boundary conditions are considered convectively. For convergence of series solution NDSolve MATHEMATICA is used. Velocity, Bejan number, concentration, temperature, and entropy generation graphs are sketched for important parameters. For greater estimations of first- and second-order velocity slip parameters fluid velocity reduces. The thermal and solutal Biot numbers enhance the temperature and concentration, respectively. The concentration also has direct relation with activation energy. Entropy generation reduces for chemical reaction parameter and first- and second-order slip parameters.

The Marangoni forced convective inclined magnetohydrodynamic flow is examined. Marangoni forced convection depends on the differences in surface pressure computed by magnetic field, temperature, and concentration gradient. Casson nanoliquid flow by an infinite disk is considered. Viscous dissipation, heat flux, and Joule heating are addressed in energy expressions. Thermophoresis and Brownian motion are also examined. Entropy generation is computed. The physical characteristics of entropy optimization with Arrhenius activation energy are discussed. Nonlinear PDE’s are reduced to highly nonlinear ordinary systems with appropriate transformations. A nonlinear system is numerically computed by the NDSolve technique. The salient characteristics of velocity, temperature, concentration, entropy generation, and Bejan number are explained. The computational results of the heat-transfer rate and concentration gradient are examined through tables. Velocity and temperature have reverse effects for the higher approximation of the Marangoni number. Velocity is a decreasing function of the Casson fluid parameter. Temperature is enhanced for higher radiation during reverse hold for concentration against the Marangoni number. The Bejan number and entropy generation have similar effects for Casson fluid and radiation parameters. For a higher estimation of the Brinkman number, the entropy optimization is augmented.

The combined effects of chemical reaction, radially applied magnetic field and Hall effect on entropy generation of a steady third grade magnetohydrodynamic fluid flowing through a uniformly circular pipe was studied. The governing equations are presented and the resulting non-linear dimensionless equations are solved numerically using Galerkin Weighted Residual Method. The velocity, temperature and concentration profile were obtained and utilized in computing the entropy number. A parametric study of germane parameters involved are presented graphically and discussed. It was observed that irreversibility due to heat transfer dominates the flow compared to fluid friction and Hall parameter inhibits the Bejan number while Magnetic parameter enhances the Bejan number.

AbstractThis article presents the effect of convective heating and velocity slip on flow generation of an incompressible micropolar fluid through a porous channel. The flow is induced by a constant axial pressure gradient applied in the flow direction. The non-linear governing equations are linearized using the quasilinearization technique and then solved by Chebyshev spectral collocation method. The numerical values of the velocity, microrotation and temperature are used to derive the corresponding entropy generation number and Bejan number within the porous channel. The influences of pertinent parameters on velocity, microrotation, temperature, entropy generation and Bejan number are discussed through graphs. It is observed that the convective heating tends to increase the entropy generation within the channel.

AbstractThe present article deals the entropy generation due to heat and mass transfer of an unsteady MHD flow of a Casson fluid squeezed between two parallel disks. The upper disk is taken to be impermeable and the lower one is porous. The flow field equations are reduced to non-linear ordinary differential equations by using similarity transformations and the resulting ODE problem is solved by shooting technique with Runge-Kutta 4thorder method. The effects of various non dimensional fluid and geometric parameters on the velocity components, temperature, concentration, entropy generation number, Bejan number, skin friction and Nusselt number are illustrated through graphs and tables. It is noticed that the temperature of the fluid is enhanced with Eckert number, whereas the concentration of the fluid decreased with Casson fluid parameter. The present study is applicable to nuclear engineering cooling systems, wire and blade coating, extrusion of polymer fluids, optical fibers, magnetohydrodynamics and optimization of chemical engineering processes.

Entropy generation investigation of hybrid nanofluidic transport over an unsteady spinning disk is reported in this analysis. The magnetic influence, velocity slips, and thermal radiative effects are included within the flow. Ferrous oxide (Fe3O4) and graphene oxide (GO) are used as tiny nano ingredients, and water (H2O) is the base medium. The dimensional leading equations are settled to dimensionless nonlinear ordinary differential equations (ODEs) by significant similarity transformations. Then, classical RK-4 scheme with a shooting process has been initiated to execute the numerical simulation. The software MAPLE-18 is used to run the entire simulation with an indispensable accuracy rate. Several streamlines, graphs, and requisite tables are executed to divulge the parametric impact on the nanofluidic stream. Entropy generation–related figures are depicted for diverse parameters, and parametric effects on Bejan number are also analyzed. Moreover, the corresponding physical consignments like the measure of the frictional hindrance, heat transport are calculated and reviewed. The entropy generation augments for higher magnetic value but reduces for velocity slip, radiation, and nanoparticle concentration. Hybrid nanofluid gives a lower magnitude in entropy production as compared to the usual nanofluid. Magnetic parameter reduces the Bejan number, while slip factor and nanoparticle concentration amplify such effects. Heat transfer ultimately seems to increase for nanoparticle volume fraction, and the increase rate is 4.01685 for usual nanofluid, but it is 6.7557 for hybrid nanofluid. Also, the numerical fallouts address the possibility of using magnetized spinning disks in space engines and nuclear propulsion, and such a model conveys significant applications in heat transport improvement in so many industrial thermal management equipment and renewable energy systems.
