Present model analyze the flow and heat transfer of water-based carbon nanotubes (CNTs) [Formula: see text] ferrofluid flow between two radially stretchable rotating disks in the presence of a uniform magnetic field. A study for entropy generation analysis is carried out to measure the irreversibility of the system. Using similarity transformation, the governing equations in the model are transformed into a set of nonlinear coupled differential equations in non-dimensional form. The nonlinear coupled differential equations are solved numerically through the finite element method. Variable viscosity, variable thermal conductivity, thermal radiation, and volume concentration have a crucial role in heat transfer enhancement. The results for the entropy generation rate, velocity distributions, and temperature distribution are graphically presented in the presence of physical and geometrical parameters of the flow. Increasing the values of ferromagnetic interaction number, Reynolds number, and temperature-dependent viscosity enhances the skin friction coefficients on the surface and wall of the lower disk. The local heat transfer rate near the lower disk is reduced in the presence of Harman number, Reynolds number, and Prandtl number. The ferrohydrodynamic flow between two rotating disks might be useful to optimize the use of hybrid nanofluid for liquid seals in rotating machinery.

This study investigates the unsteady heat transfer and entropy generation characteristics of a non-Newtonian fluid, squeezed and extruded between two parallel plates. In an effort to capture the underlying thermo-hydrodynamics, the power-law model is used here to describe the constitutive behavior of the non-Newtonian fluid. The results obtained from the present analysis reveal the intricate interplay between the fluid rheology and the squeezing dynamics, toward altering the Nusselt number and Bejan number characteristics. Findings from this study may be utilized to design optimal process parameters for enhanced thermodynamic performance of engineering systems handling complex fluids undergoing simultaneous extrusion and squeezing.

The thermal management of a system needs an accurate and efficient measurement of exergy. For optimal performance, entropy should be minimized. This study explores the enhancement of the thermal exchange and entropy in the stream of Eyring–Powell fluid comprising nanoparticles saturating the vertical oriented dual cylindrical domain with uniform thermal conductivity and viscous dissipation effects. A symmetrical sine wave over the walls is used to induce the flow. The mathematical treatment for the conservation laws are described by a set of PDEs, which are, later on, converted to ordinary differential equations by homotopy deformations and then evaluated on the Mathematica software tool. The expression of the pressure rise term has been handled numerically by using numerical integration by Mathematica through the algorithm of the Newton–Cotes formula. The impact of the various factors on velocity, heat, entropy profile, and the Bejan number are elaborated pictorially and tabularly. The entropy generation is enhanced with the variation of viscous dissipation but reduced in the case of the concentration parameter, but viscous dissipation reveals opposite findings for the Newtonian fluid. From the abovementioned detailed discussion, it can be concluded that Eyring–Powell shows the difference in behavior in the entropy generation and in the presence of nanoparticles due to the significant dissipation effects, and also, it travels faster than the viscous fluid. A comparison between the Eyring-Powell and Newtonian fluid are also made for each pertinent parameter through special cases. This study may be applicable for cancer therapy in biomedicine by nanofluid characteristics in various drugs considered as a non-Newtonian fluid.
