The growing development in the thermal engineering and nano-technology, much attention has been paid on the thermal properties of nanoparticles which convey many applications in industrial, technological and medical era of sciences. The noteworthy applications of nano-materials included heat transfer enhancement, thermal energy, solar systems, cooling of electronics, controlling the heat mechanisms etc. Beside this, entropy generation is an optimized scheme which reflects significances in thermodynamics systems to control the higher energy efficiency. On this end, present work presents the slip flow of Jeffrey nanofluid over a stretching sheet with applications of activation energy and viscous dissipation. The entropy generation features along with Bejan number significance is also addressed in present analysis. Buongiorno model of nanofluid is used to discuss the heat and mass transfer. The formulated flow equations are attained into non-dimensional form. An appropriate ND MATHEMATICA built-in scheme is used to find the solution. The solution confirmation is verified by performing the error analysis. For developed flow model and impacted parameters, a comprehensive graphical analysis is performed. It is observed that slip phenomenon is used to decays the velocity profile. Temperature and concentration are in direct relation with Brownian motion parameter and activation energy respectively. Entropy and Bejan number have same results for greater diffusion parameter.

Analysis has been conducted to analyze the effects of second order slip flow and heat transfer of Jeffrey nanofluid over a stretching sheet with non linear thermal radiation and chemical reaction. The effects of Brownian motion and thermophoresis occur in the transport equations. The velocity, temperature and nanoparticle concentration profiles are analyzed with respect to the involved parameters of interest namely Brownian motion parameters, thermophoresis parameter, magnetic parameter, radiation parameter, Prandtl number, Lewis number, chemical reaction parameter, and Deborah number, Convergence of the derived solutions was checked and the influence of embedded parameters was analyzed by plotting graphs. It was noticed that the velocity increases with an increase in the Deborah number. We further found that for fixed values of other parameters, numerical values of the skin friction coefficient, local Nusselt numbers and Sherwood numbers were computed and examined. A comparative study between the previous published and present results in a limiting sense is found in an excellent agreement.

Abstract The main theme of this paper is to investigate entropy generation analysis for unsteady three-dimensional flow of viscous (Newtonian) fluid between two horizontal parallel plates. Lower plate is porous and stretching while upper plate squeezed downward. Further effects of nonlinear thermal radiation, viscous dissipation, heat source/sink and activation energy are accounted. Entropy generation rate calculated in terms of thermal radiation, fluid diffusion and fluid friction. Transformations procedure used lead to reduction of PDE’s into ordinary ones. Built-in-Shooting technique is used for the computational analysis. Impacts of different flow variables on temperature, velocity, concentration, volumetric entropy generation and Bejan number are discussed and presented through graphs. Temperature and concentration gradient are discussed numerically. It is examined from obtained results that velocity of liquid particle decays through larger estimation of squeezing parameter. It is also examined that temperature distribution enhances for higher estimation of radiative heat flux. Moreover temperature and concentration gradient increase for larger squeezing parameter.

Abstract The present communication owns to address the mathematical framework of two-dimensional electrically conductive and thermally radiative Jeffrey nanofluid flow by a curved surface. The interaction of a periodic magnetic field with the suspended nanoparticles and mixed convection are critically important due to its application in a broad spectrum. Buongiorno’s model, incorporates the effect of thermophoretic force and Brownian movement, describes the nature of Jeffrey nanofluid. The influence of activation energy, viscous dissipation, and thermal radiation effects are reserved. The dimensionless system of differential equations has been diminished from the modeled equations via transformation framework which is solved analytically versus homotopic algorithm. The stability and convergence analysis has been carried out to optimize system parameters and accuracy of the system. The effect of physical constraints on flow field, energy, and concentration of nanoparticles are portrayed via plotted graphs and debated.
