Abstract

The prime objective of this article is to explore the entropy analysis of third-order nanofluid fluid slip flow caused by a stretchable sheet implanted in a porous plate along with thermal radiation, convective surface boundary, non-Fourier heat flux applications, and nanoparticle concentration on zero mass flux conditions. The governing physical systems are modified into non-linear ordinary systems with the aid of similarity variables, and the outcomes are solved by a homotopy analysis scheme. The impression of certain governing flow parameters on the nanoparticle concentration, temperature, and velocity is illustrated through graphs, while the alteration of many valuable engineering parameters viz. the Nusselt number and Sherwood number are depicted in graphs. Entropy generation with various parameters is obtained and discussed in detail. The estimation of entropy generation using the Bejan number find robust application in power engineering and aeronautical propulsion to forecast the smartness of entire system.

Summary

INTRODUCTION

Nanoliquids are the type of liquids that have small volumetric quantities of nanoscale 10−9 − 10−7m metallic Cu, Ti, Hg, Fe, Ag, Au, etc. or non-metallic particles TiO2, SiO2, CuO, Al2O3, etc taken as nano particles. Several scientists have researched entropy generation in the flow of fluids and heat transfer over a stretching surface. Loganathan et al [40, 41] verified the entropy analysis for the third grade and Williamson nanoliquid flow caused by a stretchable sheet with various effects. They employed HAM to solve the non-linear governing systems. Based on our research in previously published works, entropy generation of third-grade nanofluid flow caused by a stretching sheet with a modified Fourier law has not been discussed with a high standard of scientific attention.
