Abstract

There are various implementations of common fluids in industrial and chemical processes. With the cooperation of the nanoparticles, the lower thermal properties of such fluids can be augmented. By using a new kind of nanofluid namely hybrid nanofluid, the heat transfer rate of such fluids can be boosted more quickly. The main intention of this research is on entropy analysis in the stagnant point flow of a hybrid nanofluid. The mixed convection nonlinear thermal radiative flow on a stretchable vertical sheet is examined under the influences of the induced magnetic field and chemical reactions. The impacts of Joule heating, partial slips and viscous dissipation are also involved. After the execution of the appropriate similarity transformations, the constituting equations of the flow problem emerge as the nonlinear dimensionless setup of ordinary differential equations. An amplification is examined in the velocity field, entropy generation, and induced magnetic field relative to the mixed convection parameter. With the improved Brinkman number, an augmentation is developed in the entropy of the system. Moreover, both the heat transfer rate and the surface drag force exhibit an accelerating behavior relative to the mixed convection parameter.
