Calculating the entropy generation of a Bingham plastic fluid flow due to a heated rotating disk

Abstract

We present the numerical study of the flow on a heated rotating disk for Bingham plastic fluid. Thermo-physical properties and viscous dissipation are assumed with the influence of entropy generation. This kind of study has a significant attentiveness in the fields of applied engineering for their increased mathematical advantages. We analyzed the solutions of fluid flow and entropy phenomenon for the Bingham fluid. The similarity solution was firstly presented by von Kármán for Newtonian fluid, it is found to be beneficial for the Bingham plastic fluid by transforming the boundary layer partial differential equations into ordinary differential equations. Shooting method is used to crack the dimensionless ordinary differential equations. The Bingham model is momentous for unlimited high shear rates for this we suggest these numerical data provide accurate description of the Bingham fluid and entropy minimization near a rotating disk. The outcomes exhibits that the azimuthal velocity profiles upsurges for upward values of Bingham fluid, and the similar behavior for tangential radial velocity is perceived. The temperature curve is noted to be enhanced for higher magnitudes of Eckert number and thermal conduction parameter. The soret number and diffusivity coefficient creates increment in concentration curve. The entropy function in the flow system enhances for up surging the inputs of Bingham fluid coefficient and thermophoresis diffusion. The results are locally similar for various parameters. We have also included the comparison analysis with published works.
