In this article, we have briefly examined the entropy generation in magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) Eyring–Powell fluid over an unsteady oscillating porous stretching sheet. The impact of thermal radiation and heat source/sink are taken in this investigation. The impact of embedded parameters on velocity function, temperature function, entropy generation rate, and Bejan number are deliberated through graphs, and discussed as well. By studying the entropy generation in magnetohydrodynamic Eyring–Powell fluid over an unsteady oscillating porous stretching sheet, the entropy generation rate is reduced with escalation in porosity, thermal radiation, and magnetic parameters, while increased with the escalation in Reynolds number. Also, the Bejan number is increased with the escalation in porosity and magnetic parameter, while increased with the escalation in thermal radiation parameter. The impact of skin fraction coefficient and local Nusselt number are discussed through tables. The partial differential equations are converted to ordinary differential equation with the help of similarity variables. The homotopy analysis method (HAM) is used for the solution of the problem. The results of this investigation agree, satisfactorily, with past studies.

Purpose This study aims to focus on second grade fluid flow over a rotating disk in the presence of chemical reaction. Uniform magnetic field is also taken into account. Because of the smaller magnetic Reynolds number, induced magnetic field is negligible. Heat equation is constructed by considering heat source/sink. Design/methodology/approach Suitable variables are used to transform nonlinear partial differential equations to ordinary ones. Convergent series solutions are attained by applying homotopy analysis method. Findings Trends of different parameters on concentration, velocity and temperature are shown graphically. Skin friction coefficient and local Nusselt number are calculated and investigated under the effect of elaborated parameters. An elevation in the value of magnetic field parameter causes collapse in the velocity distributions. Velocity distribution in increasing function of viscoelastic parameter. Temperature and concentration profiles are decreasing functions of viscoelastic parameter. Concentration distribution reduces by increasing the chemical reaction parameter. There is more surface drag force for larger M, while opposite behavior is noted for β. Originality/value To the best of the authors’ knowledge, such consideration is yet to be published in the literature.

Purpose This study aims to investigate the irreversibility associated with the Fe3O4–Co/kerosene hybrid-nanofluid past a wedge with nonlinear radiation and heat source. Design/methodology/approach This study reports the numerical analysis of the hybrid nanofluid model under the implications of the heat source and magnetic field over a static and moving wedge with slips. The second law of thermodynamics is applied with nonlinear thermal radiation. The system that comprises differential equations of partial derivatives is remodeled into the system of differential equations via similarity transformations and then solved through the Runge–Kutta–Fehlberg with shooting technique. The physical parameters, which emerges from the derived system, are discussed in graphical formats. Excellent proficiency in the numerical process is analyzed by comparing the results with available literature in limiting scenarios. Findings The significant outcomes of the current investigation are that the velocity field uplifts for higher velocity slip and magnetic strength. Further, the heat transfer rate is reduced with the incremental values of the Eckert number, while it uplifts with thermal slip and radiation parameters. An increase in Brinkmann’s number uplifts the entropy generation rate, while that peters out the Bejan number. The results of this study are of importance involving in the assessment of the effect of some important design parameters on heat transfer and, consequently, on the optimization of industrial processes. Originality/value This study is original work that reports the hybrid nanofluid model of Fe3O4–Co/kerosene.
