Abstract

Pump designs can be optimized for maximum energy efficiency, reduced waste, and enhanced overall performance by taking entropy factors into account. In this regard, the current investigation concentrates on examination of thermodynamic analysis for bio-convection peristaltic phenomenon of a non-Newtonian Casson nanofluid in an asymmetrical elastic channel by considering the generation of entropy. The pressure driven flow is managed by using lubrication approach and converting the system in to laboratory (wave) frame. The resulting findings of physical expressions together with the surface conditions are tackled by shooting numerical algorithm on conventional software Mathematica with the help of built-in tool (NDSolve). Graphical attitude of numerous physical quantities (entropy generation, Bejan number, and velocity profile, density of gyrotactic motile microorganisms and nanoparticles volume fraction) is also added and the results are equated with the existing literature. After detailed discussion on graphical display, it is concluded that with porosity of the medium helps to get the entropy generation reduced while, with the increase in bio-convection Peclet value, the micro-organisms’ density declines. The results of the study can be of great significance in the fields of nanotechnology, bio-microsystems and Bio-nano cooling phenomenon.
