Application of CNT-based micropolar hybrid nanofluid flow in the presence of Newtonian heating

Abstract

This research addresses the effects of Hall and ion slip in micropolar hybrid nanofluid in the presence of Newtonian heating. Furthermore, the influence of thermal radiation, Darcy–Forchheimer, viscous dissipation, and variable viscosity is discussed. Total entropy generation rate is calculated. Two distinct nanoparticles such as (SWCNT, MWCNT) used as a hybrid nanofluid. Built-in function bvp4c integrates the solution of simulated hydrodynamic boundary value problems. The effects on axial velocity, angular velocity, temperature field, concentration field, Bejan number, and entropy optimization of different flow field variables are displayed graphically. The nanoparticle fraction boosts the temperature field, Bejan number, and entropy generation, while the axial velocity and microrotation field reduces. Furthermore, the entropy generation enhances with higher the Brinkman number and variable viscosity parameter.
