Local entropy generation in a turbulent nonpremixed jet flame (Sandia Flame D) is predicted using large eddy simulation (LES) with inclusion of entropy transport. The filtered form of entropy transport equation contains several unclosed source terms which represent irreversibilities due to viscous dissipation, heat conduction, mass diffusion, and chemical reaction. The subgrid scale (SGS) closure is accounted for by the entropy filtered density function (En-FDF) methodology to include complete statistical information about SGS variation of scalars and entropy. The En-FDF provides closed forms for the chemical reaction effects. The methodology is applied for LES of Sandia Flame D and predictions are validated against experimental data. Entropy statistics are shown to compare favorably with the data. All individual irreversible processes in this flame are predicted and analyzed. It is shown that heat conduction and chemical reaction are the main sources of entropy generation in this flame.

Chemical reaction in mixed convection magnetohydrodynamic second grade nanoliquid thin film flow through a porous medium containing nanoparticles and gyrotactic microorganisms is considered with entropy generation. The stratification phenomena, heat and mass transfer simultaneously take place within system. Microorganisms are utilized to stabilize the suspended nanoparticles through bioconvection. For the chemical reaction of species, the mass transfer increases. The governing equations of the problem are transformed to nonlinear differential equations through similarity variables, which are solved through a well known scheme called homotopy analysis method. The solution is expressed through graphs and illustrations which show the influences of all the parameters. The residual error graphs elucidate the authentication of the present work.

AbstractIn this article, entropy generation with combined effects of thermal radiation and chemical reaction on MHD boundary layer over a moving surface has been investigated. The governing flow comprises of linear momentum equation, energy, and concentration equations which are modified with the help of similarity variables. The reduced resulting nonlinear coupled ordinary differential equations are solved with the help of Successive linearization method (SLM) and Chebyshev spectral collocation method. The impact of all the physical parameters is demonstrated numerically and graphically. A detailed analysis have been given for all the pertinent parameters such as Hartmann number, porosity parameter, Prandtl number, radiation parameter, suction/injection parameter, moving parameter, Brinkmann number, Reynolds number, chemical reaction parameter and Schmidt number on velocity, temperature, concentration and entropy profile as well as the Skin friction coefficient, Nusselt number and Sherwood number are also conducted. The numerical comparison has also been given to the existing published literature.
