AbstractThis article is devoted to studying Magnetohydrodynamic (MHD)'s combined effect and porosity on the entropy generation in two incompressible Newtonian fluids over a thin needle moving in a parallel stream. Two Newtonian fluids (air and water) are taken into consideration in this study. The viscous dissipation term is involved in the energy equation. The assumption is that the free stream velocity is in the direction of the positive x-axis—(axial direction). The thin needle moves in the same or opposite direction of free stream velocity. The reduced similar governing equations are solved numerically with the help of shooting and the fourth-order Runge–Kutta method. The expressions for dimensionless volumetric entropy generation rate and Bejan number are obtained through using similarity transformations. The effects of the magnetic parameter, porosity parameter, Eckert number, Bejan number, irreversibility parameter, Nusselt number, and skin friction are discussed graphically in detail for and taken as Newtonian fluids. The results are compared with published work and are found in excellent agreement.

This article is devoted to study sustainability of entropy generation in an incompressible thermal flow of Newtonian fluids over a thin needle that is moving in a parallel stream. Two types of Newtonian fluids (water and air) are considered in this work. The energy dissipation term is included in the energy equation. Here, it is presumed that u∞ (the free stream velocity) is in the positive axial direction (x-axis) and the motion of the thin needle is in the opposite or similar direction as the free stream velocity. The reduced self-similar governing equations are solved numerically with the aid of the shooting technique with the fourth-order-Runge-Kutta method. Using similarity transformations, it is possible to obtain the expression for dimensionless form of the volumetric entropy generation rate and the Bejan number. The effects of Prandtl number, Eckert number and dimensionless temperature parameter are discussed graphically in details for water and air taken as Newtonian fluids.

Second law characteristics of heat transfer and fluid flow due to free convection of non-Newtonian fluids over a horizontal plate with prescribed surface temperature in a porous medium are analyzed. Velocity and temperature fields are obtained numerically using an implicit finite difference method under the similarity assumption and these results are used to compute the entropy generation rate Ns, irreversibility ratio Φ, and the Bejan number Be for both Newtonian and non-Newtonian fluids. The effects of viscous frictional parameter G, Rayleigh number Ra, temperature variation λ, axial distance (x) on the dimensionless entropy generation rate Ns, and the Bejan number Be are investigated for Newtonian and non-Newtonian fluids and presented graphically.

AbstractIn the present article, we investigate the dual slip effect namely the velocity slip and thermal slip conditions on MHD flow past a thin needle. The entropy generation for the incompressible fluids that’s water and acetone that flowing above the thin needle is discussed. The energy dissipating term and the magnetic effect is included in the axial direction. The leading partial differential equations are transformed to ODE by an appropriate similarity transformation and solved using a numerical technique that is the Quasilinearization method. The terms for the rate of entropy generation, the Bejan number, and the irreversibility distribution ratio are discussed. Each dimensionless number is shown with velocity slip and also with the magnetic parameter is presented in graphical form. In the result, we conclude that the entropy generation rate is increasing with the increase in thermal slip parameter also some increasing effect is found as the size of the needle increases

This paper presents, on the basis of high Peclet number, a mathematical model for the activation and initial adhesion of flowing platelets onto a surface. In contrast to past work, the model is applicable to general 2D and axi-symmetric flows where the wall shear stress is knowna priori. Results indicate that for high activation reaction rates there exist two layers, one containing only activated platelets and the other both activated and non-activated platelets. Fundamental relationships are proposed between the adhesion rate of platelets to the surface and the characteristic parameters of Peclet number and Reynolds number. Activation in the bulk fluid (blood) is characterised by the Damkohler number, which is a function of activation rate and the free-stream velocity. It is shown that, as the free-stream velocity varies, there exists a maximum of activated platelet flux to the wall for particular values of the velocity. These values, at which the maximum occur, are themselves functions of the platelet activation rate. As the free-stream velocity increases the activation of platelets ceases altogether and adhesion is reduced to a very small value strengthening the hypothesis of the correlation between atherogenesis/thrombogenesis and areas of low shear.

Laminar boundary-layer heat transfer and shear-stress predictions from existing similarity solutions are extended in an approximate way to perfect gas flows with a large free-stream velocity gradient parameter β and variable density-viscosity product ρμ across the boundary layer resulting from a highly cooled wall. The dimensionless enthalpy gradient at the wall gw′, to which the heat flux is related, is found not to vary appreciably with β. Thus the application of similarity solutions on a local basis to predict heat transfer from accelerated flows to an arbitrary surface may be a reasonable approximation involving a minimum amount of calculation time. Unlike gw′, the dimensionless velocity gradient at the wall fw″, to which the shear stress is related, is strongly dependent on β.

Abstract This paper presents the magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) boundary layer stagnation point flow with diffusion of chemically reactive species undergoing first-order chemical reaction over a permeable stretching sheet in presence of partial slip. With the help of similarity transformations, the partial differential equations corresponding to momentum and the concentration equations are transformed into non-linear ordinary differential equations. Numerical solutions of these equations are obtained by shooting method. It is found that the horizontal velocity increases with the increasing value of the ratio of the free stream velocity and the stretching velocity. Velocity decreases with the increasing magnetic parameter when the free-stream velocity is less than the stretching velocity but the opposite behavior is noted when the free-stream velocity is greater than the stretching velocity. Due to suction, fluid velocity decreases at a particular point of the surface. With increasing velocity slip parameter, velocity increases when the free-stream velocity is greater than the stretching velocity. But the concentration decreases in this case. Concentration decreases with increasing mass slip parameter.
