A steady two-dimensional nonlinear convective flow of a viscous, incompressible, electrically conducting, and non-Newtonian Jeffrey fluid over an inclined stretching sheet with convective boundary conditions and entropy generation is studied under the influence of transverse magnetic field, electrical conductivity and thermal conductivity. The thermal conductivity and electrical conductivity are temperature dependent functions. The governing continuity, momentum and energy equations are transformed to ordinary differential equations (ODEs) using appropriate similarity variables. The resulting coupled ODEs and the corresponding boundary conditions, are solved numerically using Runge-Kutta fourth order method and shooting technique. The velocity, entropy generation rate, temperature and Bejan distributions are presented graphically and discussed. The numerical values of the skin-friction and Nusselt number are obtained and also discussed for various thermophysical parameters through a Table. Furthermore, a comparison with earlier work done with limiting case was carried out and found to be in excellent agreement.

Purpose This paper aims to examine squeezing flow of hybrid nanofluid inside the two parallel rotating sheets. The upper sheet squeezes downward, whereas the lower sheet stretches. Darcy’s relation describes porous space. Hybrid nanofluid consists of copper (Cu) and titanium oxide (TiO2) nanoparticles and water (H2O). Viscous dissipation and thermal radiation in modeling are entertained. Entropy generation analysis is examined. Design/methodology/approach Transformation procedure is implemented for conversion of partial differential systems into an ordinary one. The shooting scheme computes numerical solution. Findings Velocity, temperature, Bejan number, entropy generation rate, skin friction and Nusselt number are discussed. Key results are mentioned. Velocity field increases vs higher estimations of squeezing parameter, while it declines via larger porosity variable. Temperature of liquid particles enhances vs larger Eckert number. It is also examined that temperature field dominates for TiO2-H2O, Cu-H2O and Cu-TiO2-H2O. Magnitude of heat transfer rate and skin friction coefficient increase against higher squeezing parameter, radiative parameter, porosity variable and suction parameter. Originality/value The originality of this paper is investigation of three-dimensional time-dependent squeezing flow of hybrid nanomaterial between two parallel sheets. To the best of the authors’ knowledge, no such consideration has been carried out in the literature.
