Computational assessment of MHD Carreau tri-hybrid nano-liquid flow along an elongating surface with entropy generation : A comparative study

Abstract

This research looks at the incompressible, viscous, steady-state laminar stagnation-point-flow of a Carreau ternary-hybrid nano-liquid towards a convectively heated expanding surface, taking into account first-order slippage and Ohmic dissipation. Viscous dissipation and the effects of Lorentz forces are also considered. It is discussed how thermal radiation and heat absorption/generation contribute to the heat transport process. Minimizing entropy during the transport of a Carreau ternary hybrid nano-liquid has also been studied. In addition, convective circumstances are used conceptually in the numerical solution of the current model. tiny-particles of silver (Ag), molybdenum disulfide (MoS2), and multi-wall carbon nanotubes (MWCNT) are analyzed in this work’s flow study. As a base fluid, carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC-water) is used. With the use of appropriate similarity trans-formations, the standard model equations are transformed into dimensionless form. Finding solutions for momentum and heat fields using the Runge–Kutta-Fehlberg technique and a shooting strategy. The figures depict a wide range of characteristics, including fluid flow velocity, temperature, skin friction, the Nusselt number, entropy minimization, and the Bejan number. Key results from the present model include the fact that the velocity curve flattens down as Weissenberg number increases.
