Abstract
Entropy generation and their minimization for magnetohydrodynamic oscillatory couette flow through a vertical channel, soaked with a porous medium in the existence of heat source and thermal radiation has been deliberated. In the present analysis, flow governing equations are elucidated and extricated with the help of analytical technique for the fluid velocity profile, temperature field, irreversibility distribution and Bejan number. Also, the numerical value of dimensionless shearing stress and heat transfer coefficient are obtained and presented through tables with reference to flow governing parameters. It has noticed that entropy generation can be regulated or minimized with the change in the applied magnetic field and thermal radiation, and this result is useful in several thermodynamic industries and engineering field for attaining the high performance of devices with minimum heat loss.
