Abstract
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.
