Entropy generation investigation of hybrid nanofluidic transport over an unsteady spinning disk is reported in this analysis. The magnetic influence, velocity slips, and thermal radiative effects are included within the flow. Ferrous oxide (Fe3O4) and graphene oxide (GO) are used as tiny nano ingredients, and water (H2O) is the base medium. The dimensional leading equations are settled to dimensionless nonlinear ordinary differential equations (ODEs) by significant similarity transformations. Then, classical RK-4 scheme with a shooting process has been initiated to execute the numerical simulation. The software MAPLE-18 is used to run the entire simulation with an indispensable accuracy rate. Several streamlines, graphs, and requisite tables are executed to divulge the parametric impact on the nanofluidic stream. Entropy generation–related figures are depicted for diverse parameters, and parametric effects on Bejan number are also analyzed. Moreover, the corresponding physical consignments like the measure of the frictional hindrance, heat transport are calculated and reviewed. The entropy generation augments for higher magnetic value but reduces for velocity slip, radiation, and nanoparticle concentration. Hybrid nanofluid gives a lower magnitude in entropy production as compared to the usual nanofluid. Magnetic parameter reduces the Bejan number, while slip factor and nanoparticle concentration amplify such effects. Heat transfer ultimately seems to increase for nanoparticle volume fraction, and the increase rate is 4.01685 for usual nanofluid, but it is 6.7557 for hybrid nanofluid. Also, the numerical fallouts address the possibility of using magnetized spinning disks in space engines and nuclear propulsion, and such a model conveys significant applications in heat transport improvement in so many industrial thermal management equipment and renewable energy systems.

The present paper aims to analyze the thermal convective heat transport and generated irreversibility of water-Cu-Al2O3 hybrid nanosuspension in an odd-shaped cavity. The side walls are adiabatic, and the internal and external borders of the enclosure are isothermally kept at high and low temperatures of Thand Tc, respectively. The control equations based on conservation laws are formulated in dimensionless form and worked out employing the Galerkin finite element technique. The outcomes are demonstrated using streamlines, isothermal lines, heatlines, isolines of Bejan number, as well as the rate of generated entropy and the Nusselt number. Impacts of the Rayleigh number, the hybrid nanoparticles concentration (ϕhnf), the volume fraction of the Cu nanoparticles to ϕhnf ratio (ϕr), width ratio (WR) have been surveyed and discussed. The results show that, for all magnitudes of Rayleigh numbers, increasing nanoparticles concentration intensifies the rate of entropy generation. Moreover, for high Rayleigh numbers, increasing WR enhances the rate of heat transport.

Abstract This study numerically investigates heat convection and entropy generation in a hybrid nanofluid (Al2O3-Cu-water) flowing around a cylinder embedded in porous media. An artificial-neural-network is used for predictive analysis, in which numerical data are generated to train an intelligence algorithm and to optimize the prediction errors. Results show that the heat transfer of the system increases when the Reynolds number, permeability parameter, or volume fraction of nanoparticles increases. However, the functional forms of these dependencies are complex. In particular, increasing the nanoparticle concentration is found to have a non-monotonic effect on entropy generation. The simulated and predicted data are subjected to particle swarm optimization to produce correlations for the shear stress and Nusselt number. This work demonstrates the capability of artificial intelligence algorithms in predicting the thermohydraulics and thermodynamics of thermal and solutal systems.

This paper reports a numerical study of mixed convection heat transfer with entropy generation in a vented complex shape cavity filled with MWCNT−MgO (15:85 vol %) /water hybrid nanofluid. A hot source is placed at the mid potion of the inclined plate of the enclosure, while the rest of the rigid walls are adiabatic. A thermo-dependent correlations proposed by [12] for the dynamic viscosity and the thermal conductivity, especially developed for the considered fluid, are used. After validation of the model, the analysis has been done for a Reynolds numbers ranging from 10 to 600 and total nanoparticles volume fraction ranging from 0.0 to 0.02 using the finite volume method. The predicted results of streamlines, isotherms, isentropic lines, average Nusselt number, average entropy generation and average Bejan number are the main focus of interest in the present paper.

This paper focuses on advances in the understanding of both the fundamental and applied aspects of nanomaterials. Nanoparticles (titania and graphene oxide) in water-based fluid lying on a surface incorporating the leading edge accretion (or ablation) are analyzed. Entropy generation rate is also considered. The Hall current effect is induced in the flow of hybrid nanofluid, due to which the two-dimensional study converts into three-dimensional space. Similarity transformations convert the equations of momentum, heat transfer, nanoparticles volume fraction and boundary conditions into non-dimensional form. Mathematica software is used to obtain the computation through homotopy analysis method. Analysis is provided through the effects of different parameters on different profiles by sketching the graphs. Flow, heat transfer and nanoparticles concentration in TiO2/H2O, as well as GO-TiO2/H2O, are decreased with increasing the Stefan blowing effect, while entropy generation rate elevates upon increasing each parameter. Both of the velocity components are reduced with increasing the Hall parameter. Streamlines demonstrate that trapping is increased at the left side of the surface. The obtained results are compared with the published work which show the authentication of the present work.

This research aims to investigate thermal and flow behaviors and entropy generation of magnetohydrodynamic Al2O3-Cu/water hybrid nanofluid in a lid-driven cavity having two rounded corners. A solver based on C ++ object-oriented language was developed where the finite volume was used. Parameter’s analysis is provided by varying Reynolds numbers (Re), Hartmann numbers (Ha), the volume fraction of hybrid nanofluid (ϕ), radii of the rounded corners. The findings show that reducing the radii of the rounded corners minimizes the irreversibility. Furthermore, the thermal conductivity and dynamic viscosity of hybrid nanofluid contribute to increasing the irreversibility. Finally, the entropy generation is decreased by increasing the Hartman number and increases by rising the Reynolds number.

The prime objective of this article is to explore the entropy analysis of third-order nanofluid fluid slip flow caused by a stretchable sheet implanted in a porous plate along with thermal radiation, convective surface boundary, non-Fourier heat flux applications, and nanoparticle concentration on zero mass flux conditions. The governing physical systems are modified into non-linear ordinary systems with the aid of similarity variables, and the outcomes are solved by a homotopy analysis scheme. The impression of certain governing flow parameters on the nanoparticle concentration, temperature, and velocity is illustrated through graphs, while the alteration of many valuable engineering parameters viz. the Nusselt number and Sherwood number are depicted in graphs. Entropy generation with various parameters is obtained and discussed in detail. The estimation of entropy generation using the Bejan number find robust application in power engineering and aeronautical propulsion to forecast the smartness of entire system.

Abstract This paper analyses the augmentation entropy generation number for a viscous nanofluid flow over a non-isothermal wedge including the effects of non-linear radiation and activation energy. We discuss the influence of thermodynamically important parameters during the study, namely, the Bejan number, entropy generation number, and the augmentation entropy generation number. The mathematical formulation for thermal conductivity and viscosity of nanofluid for Al2O3 − EG mixture has been considered. The results were numerically computed using implicit Keller-Box method and depicted graphically. The important result is the change in augmentation entropy generation number with Reynolds number. We observed that adding nanoparticles (volume fraction) tend to enhance augmentation entropy generation number for Al2O3 − EG nanofluid. Further, the investigation on the thermodynamic performance of non-isothermal nanofluid flow over a wedge reveals that adding nanoparticles to the base fluid is effective only when the contribution of heat transfer irreversibility is more than fluid friction irreversibility. This work also discusses the physical interpretation of heat transfer irreversibility and pressure drop irreversibility. This dependency includes Reynolds number and volume fraction parameter. Other than these, the research looked at a variety of physical characteristics associated with the flow of fluid, heat and mass transfer.

The excellent thermal characteristics of nanoparticles have increased their application in the field of heat transfer. In this paper, a thermophysical and geometrical parameter study is performed to minimize the total entropy generation of the viscoelastic flow of nanofluid. Entropy generation with respect to volume fraction (<0.04), the Reynolds number (20,000–100,000), and the diameter of the microchannel (20–20,000 μm) with the circular cross-section under constant flux are calculated. As is shown, most of the entropy generation owes to heat transfer and by increasing the diameter of the channel, the Bejan number increases. The contribution of heat entropy generation in the microchannel is very poor and the major influence of entropy generation is attributable to friction. The maximum quantity of in-channel entropy generation happens in nanofluids with TiO2, CuO, Cu, and Ag nanoparticles, in turn, despite the fact in the microchannel this behavior is inverted, the minimum entropy generation occurs in nanofluids with CuO, Cu, Ag, and TiO2 nanoparticles, in turn. In the channel and microchannel for all nanofluids except water-TiO2, increasing the volume fraction of nanoparticles decreases entropy generation. In the channel and microchannel the total entropy generation increases by augmentation the Reynolds number.

A theoretical study is presented to examine entropy generation in double-diffusive convection in an Electro-osmotic flow (EOF) of nanofluids via a peristaltic microchannel. Buoyancy effects due to change in temperature, solute concentration and nanoparticle volume fraction are also considered. This study was performed under lubrication and Debye-Hückel linearization approximation. The governing equations are solved exactly. The effect of dominant hydrodynamic parameters (thermophoresis, Brownian motion, Soret and Dufour), Grashof numbers (thermal, concentration and nanoparticle) and electro-osmotic parameters on double-diffusive convective flow are discussed. Moreover, trapping, pumping, entropy generation number, Bejan number and heat transfer rate were also examined under the influence of pertinent parameters such as the thermophoresis parameter, the Brownian motion parameter, the Soret parameter, the Dufour parameter, the thermal Grashof number, the solutal Grashof number, the nanoparticle Grashof number, the electro-osmotic parameter and Helmholtz–Smoluchowski velocity. The electro-osmotic parameter powerfully affected the velocity profile. The magnitude of total entropy generation increased as the thermophoresis parameter and Brownian motion parameter increased. Soret and the Dufour parameter had a strong tendency to control the temperature profile and Bejan number. The findings of the present analysis can be used in clinical purposes such as cell therapy, drug delivery systems, pharmaco-dynamic pumps and particles filtration.

Purpose Hybrid nanofluids are of significant engrossment for their considerable heat transport rate. The steady flow of an incompressible viscous electrically conducted hybrid nanofluid is considered over a rotating disk under a magnetic field. Titanium oxide (TiO2) and ferrous (CoFe2O4) nanoparticles are used with their physical properties and water is considered as host liquid. The purpose of this paper is to analyze how hydrothermal integrity varies for hybrid nanosuspension over a spinning disk in the presence of magnetic orientation. Design/methodology/approach Governing equations with boundary conditions are transformed by similarity transformations and then solved numerically with RK-4 method. A comparison of linear and nonlinear thermal radiation for the above-mentioned parameters is taken and the efficiency of nonlinear radiation is established, the same over nanofluid and hybrid nanofluid is also discussed. Heat lines are observed and discussed for various parameters like magnetic field, concentration, suction and injection parameter, radiation effect and Prandtl number. Findings Suction and increasing nanoparticle concentration foster the radial and cross-radial velocities, whereas magnetization and injection confirm the reverse trend. The rate of increment of radial friction is quite higher for the usual nanosuspension. The calculated data demonstrate that the rate for hybrid nanofluid is 8.97 percent, whereas for nanofluid it is 15.06 percent. Double-particle suspension amplifies the thermal efficiency than that of a single particle. Magnetic and radiation parameters aid the heat transfer, but nanoparticle concentration and suction explore the opposite syndrome. The magnetic parameter increases the heat transport at 36.58 and 42.71 percent for nonlinear radiation and hybrid nanosuspension, respectively. Originality/value Nonlinear radiation gives a higher heat transport rate and for the radiation parameter it is almost double. This result is very significant for comparison between linear and nonlinear radiation. Heat lines may be observed by taking different nanoparticle materials to get some diverse result. Hydrothermal study of such hybrid liquid is noteworthy because outcomes of this study will aid nanoscience and nanotechnology in an efficient way.
