PurposeThe purpose of this article is to analyze the heat and mass transfer with entropy generation during magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) flow of non-Newtonian Sisko nanofluid over a linearly stretching cylinder under the influence of velocity slip, chemical reaction and thermal radiation. The Brownian motion, thermophoresis and activation energy are assimilated in this nanofluid model. Convective boundary conditions on heat and mass transfer are considered. The physical model may have diverse applications in several areas of technology underlying thermohydrodynamics including supercritical fluid extraction, refrigeration, ink-jet printing and so on.Design/methodology/approachThe dimensional governing equations are nondimensionalized by using appropriate similarity variables. The resulting boundary value problem is converted into initial value problem using the method of superposition and numerically computed by employing well-known fourth-order Runge–Kutta–Fehlberg approach along with shooting technique (RKF4SM). The quantitative impacts of emerging physical parameters on the velocity, temperature, concentration, skin friction coefficient, Nusselt number, Sherwood number, entropy generation rate and Bejan number are presented graphically and in tabular form, and the salient features are comprehensively discussed.FindingsFrom graphical outcomes, it is concluded that the slip parameters greatly influence the flow characteristics. Fluid temperature is elevated with rising radiation parameter and thermal Biot number. Nanoparticle concentration is reported in decreasing form with activation energy parameter. Entropy is found to be an increasing function of magnetic field, Brownian motion and material parameters. The entropy is less generated for shear-thinning fluid compared to shear-thickening as well as Newtonian fluids in the system.Originality/valueTill now no study has been documented to explore the impact of binary chemical reaction with Arrhenius activation energy on entropy generation in an MHD boundary layer flow of non-Newtonian Sisko nanofluid over a linear stretching cylinder with velocity slip and convective boundary conditions.

The present article addresses the peristaltic flow of a Jeffery fluid over an inclined axisymmetric porous tube with varying viscosity and thermal conductivity. Velocity slip and convective boundary conditions are considered. Resulting governing equations are solved using long wavelength and small Reynolds number approximations. The closed-form solutions are obtained for velocity, streamline, pressure gradient, temperature, pressure rise, and frictional force. The MATLAB numerical simulations are utilized to compute pressure rise and frictional force. The impacts of various physical parameters in the interims for time-averaged flow rate with pressure rise and is examined. The consequences of sinusoidal, multi-sinusoidal, triangular, trapezoidal, and square waveforms on physiological parameters are analyzed and discussed through graphs. The analysis reveals that the presence of variable viscosity helps in controlling the pumping performance of the fluid.

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to examine the unsteady pressure-driven flow of a reactive third-grade non-Newtonian fluid in a channel filled with a porous medium. The flow is subjected to buoyancy, suction/injection asymmetrical and convective boundary conditions. Design/methodology/approach – The authors assume that exothermic chemical reactions take place within the flow system and that the asymmetric convective heat exchange with the ambient at the surfaces follow Newton’s law of cooling. The authors also assume unidirectional suction injection flow of uniform strength across the channel. The flow system is modeled via coupled non-linear partial differential equations derived from conservation laws of physics. The flow velocity and temperature are obtained by solving the governing equations numerically using semi-implicit finite difference methods. Findings – The authors present the results graphically and draw qualitative and quantitative observations and conclusions with respect to various parameters embedded in the problem. In particular the authors make observations regarding the effects of bouyancy, convective boundary conditions, suction/injection, non-Newtonian character and reaction strength on the flow velocity, temperature, wall shear stress and wall heat transfer. Originality/value – The combined fluid dynamical, porous media and heat transfer effects investigated in this paper have to the authors’ knowledge not been studied. Such fluid dynamical problems find important application in petroleum recovery.

The two-dimensional magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) flow of a Jeffrey fluid is investigated in this paper. The characteristics of heat and mass transfer with chemical reaction have also been analyzed. Convective boundary conditions have been invoked for the thermal boundary layer problem. Exact similarity solutions for flow, temperature, and concentration are derived. Interpretation to the embedded parameters is assigned through graphical results for dimensionless velocity, temperature, concentration, skin friction coefficient, and surface heat and mass transfer. The results indicate an increase in the velocity and the boundary layer thickness by increasing the rheological parameter of the Jeffrey fluid. An intensification in the chemical reaction leads to a thinner concentration boundary layer.

In this article, we discuss the entropy generation on the asymmetric peristaltic propulsion of non-Newtonian fluid with convective boundary conditions. The Williamson fluid model is considered for the analysis of flow properties. The current fluid model has the ability to reveal Newtonian and non-Newtonian behavior. The present model is formulated via momentum, entropy, and energy equations, under the approximation of small Reynolds number and long wavelength of the peristaltic wave. A regular perturbation scheme is employed to obtain the series solutions up to third-order approximation. All the leading parameters are discussed with the help of graphs for entropy and temperature profiles. The irreversibility process is also discussed with the help of Bejan number. Streamlines are plotted to examine the trapping phenomena. Results obtained provide an excellent benchmark for further study on the entropy production with mass transfer and peristaltic pumping mechanism.

Maxwell Nanofluid

Purpose This paper aims to present the effect of entropy generation on the unsteady flow of upper-convected Maxwell nanofluid past a wedge embedded in a porous medium in view of buoyancy force. Cattaneo-Christov double diffusion theory simulates the processes of energy phenomenon and mass transfer. Meanwhile, Brownian motion, thermophoresis and convective boundary conditions are discussed to further visualize the heat and mass transfer properties. Design/methodology/approach Coupled ordinary differential equations are gained by appropriate similar transformations and these equations are manipulated by the Homotopy analysis method. Findings The result is viewed that velocity distribution is a diminishing function with boosting the value of unsteadiness parameter. Moreover, fluid friction irreversibility is dominant as the enlargement in Brinkman number. Then controlling the temperature and concentration difference parameters can effectively regulate entropy generation. Originality/value This paper aims to address the effect of entropy generation on unsteady flow, heat and mass transfer of upper-convected Maxwell nanofluid over a stretched wedge with Cattaneo-Christov double diffusion, which provides a theoretical basis for manufacturing production.
