ENTROPY GENERATION IN MHD FLOW OF VISCOELASTIC NANOFLUIDS WITH HOMOGENEOUS-HETEROGENEOUS REACTION, PARTIAL SLIP AND NONLINEAR THERMAL RADIATION

Abstract

We investigate the combined effects of homogeneous and heterogeneous reactions in the boundary layer flow of a viscoelastic nanofluid over a stretching sheet with nonlinear thermal radiation. The incompressible fluid is electrically conducting with an applied a transverse magnetic field. The conservation equations are solved using the spectral quasi-linearization method. This analysis is carried out in order to enhance the system performance, with the source of entropy generation and the impact of Bejan number on viscoelastic nanofluid due to a partial slip in homogeneous and heterogeneous reactions flow using the spectral quasi-linearization method. Various fluid parameters of interest such as entropy generation, Bejan number, fluid velocity, shear stress heat and mass transfer rates are studied quantitatively, and their behaviors are depicted graphically. A comparison of the entropy generation due to the heat transfer and the fluid friction is made with the help of the Bejan number. Among the findings reported in this study is that the entropy generation has a significant impact in controlling the rate of heat transfer in the boundary layer region.
