In this study the effect of entropy generation on two dimensional magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) flow of a Maxwell fluid over an inclined stretching sheet embedded in a non-Darcian porous medium with velocity slip and convective boundary condition is investigated. Darcy-Forchheimer based model was employed to describe the flow in the porous medium. The non-linear thermal radiation is also taken into account. Similarity transformation is used to convert the non-linear partial differential equations to a system of non-linear ordinary differential equations. The resulting transformed equations are then solved using the Homotopy analysis method (HAM). Influence of various physical parameters on the dimensionless velocity profile, temperature profile and entropy generation are shown graphically and discussed in detail while the effects of these physical parameters on velocity gradient and temperature gradient are aided with the help of Table. Furthermore, comparison of some limiting cases of this model was made with existing results. The results obtained are found to be in good agreement with previously published results. Moreover, increase in local inertial coefficient parameter is found to decrease the entropy generation rate.

Explicit finite-difference method was used to obtain the solution of the system of the non-linear ordinary differential equations which transform from the non-linear partial differential equations. These equations describe the steady magneto-hydrodynamic flow of an oldroyd 8-constant non-Newtonian nano-fluid through a non-Darcy porous medium with heat and mass transfer. The induced magnetic field was taken into our consideration. The numerical formula of the velocity, the induced magnetic field, the temperature, the concentration, and the nanoparticle concentration distributions of the problem were illustrated graphically. The effect of the material parameters (α1 α2), Darcy number Da, Forchheimer number Fs, Magnetic Pressure number RH, Magnetic Prandtl number Pm, Prandtl number Pr, Radiation parameter Rn, Dufour number Nd, Brownian motion parameter Nb, Thermophoresis parameter Nt, Heat generation Q, Lewis number Le, and Sort number Ld on those formula were discussed specially in the case of pure Coutte flow (U0 = 1, d <inline-formula> <mml:math display="block"> <mml:mrow> <mml:mover accent="true"> <mml:mi>P</mml:mi> <mml:mo stretchy="true">^</mml:mo> </mml:mover> </mml:mrow> </mml:math> </inline-formula> /dx = 0). Also, an estimation of the global error for the numerical values of the solutions is calculated by using Zadunaisky technique.

Some analyses have been carried out to study the influence of suction/blowing, thermal radiation and temperature dependent fluid properties on the hydro-magnetic incompressible electrically conducting fluid flow and heat transfer over a permeable stretching surface with partial slip boundary conditions. It is assumed that the fluid viscosity and the thermal conductivity vary as an inverse function and linear function of temperature respectively. Using the similarity transformation, the governing system of non-linear partial differential equations are transformed into non-linear ordinary differential equations and are solved numerically using symbolic software MATHEMATICA 7.0. The effects of various physical parameters on the flow and heat transfer characteristics as well as the skin friction coefficient and Nusselt number are illustrated graphically. The physical aspects of the problem are highlighted and discussed.

In this study, we numerically investigate the hydromagnetic three dimensional flow of a radiating Maxwell fluid over a stretching sheet embedded in a porous medium with heat source/sink, first ordered chemical reaction and Soret effect. The corresponding boundary layer equations are reduced into set of non-linear ordinary differential equations by means of similarity transformations. The resulting coupled non-linear equations are solved numerically by employing boundary value problem default solver in MATLAB bvp4c package. The obtained results are presented and discussed through graphs and tables. It is noticed that the Deborah number reduces the velocity fields and improves the temperature and concentration fields.

Purpose The effect of non-linear thermal radiation and variable thermo-physical properties are investigated in the Falkner-Skan flow of a Casson nanofluid in the presence of magnetic field. The paper aims to discuss this issue. Design/methodology/approach Selected bunch of similarity transformations are used to reduce the governing partial differential equations into a set of non-linear ordinary differential equations. The resultant equations are numerically solved using Runge-Kutta-Fehlberg fourth-fifth-order method along with shooting technique. Findings The velocity, temperature and concentration profiles are evaluated for several emerging physical parameters and are analyzed through graphs and tables in detail. Research limitations/implications This study only begins to reveal the research potential and pitfalls of research and publishing on boundary-layer flow, heat and mass transfer of Casson nanofluid past and the moving and static wedge-shaped bodies. Originality/value It is found that the presence of non-linear thermal radiation and variable properties has more influence in heat transfer. Furthermore, temperature profile increases as the radiation parameter increases.

This article emphasizes the significance of entropy generation analysis and nonlinear temperature density relation on thermally stratified viscous fluid flow over a vertical plate embedded in a porous medium with a thermal dispersion effect. In addition, the convective surface boundary condition is taken into an account. By using the suitable transformations, the governing flow equations in dimensional form are converted into set of nondimensional partial differential equations. Then the local similarity and nonsimilarity procedures are applied to transform the set of nondimensional partial differential equations into set of ordinary differential equations and then the resulting system of equations are solved by Chebyshev spectral collocation method along with the successive linearization. The effect of pertinent parameters, namely, Biot number, mixed convection parameter, and thermal dispersion on velocity, temperature, entropy generation rate, and heat transfer rate are displayed graphically and the salient features are explored in detail.

The heat transfer and entropy generation in a MHD flow of Casson fluid through a porous microchannel with thermal radiation were investigated numerically. Combined effects of suction/injection, hydrodynamic slip, magnetic field and convective boundary condition on the heat transfer and entropy generation are studied. The dimensionless equations are solved numerically by using fourth-fifth-order Runge–Kutta integration method along with shooting technique. Moreover, influences of pertinent parameters on velocity, temperature and entropy generation were discussed in detail and illustrated graphically. Based on numerical results, we can see that, entropy generation rate increases with an increase in radiation parameter and Biot number. As Hartmann number increases, the entropy generation decreases at the both cooled and heated plates and increases at the centerline region of the microchannel.

The objective of this paper is to analyze the effect of thermal radiation on MHD mixed convection flow of a micropolar nanoliquid   towards a non-linear stretching surface with convective boundary condition. The governing equations are converted into non-linear    ordinary differential equations by using suitable similarity transformations. The homotopy analysis method is used for solving the non-linear ordinary differential equations. The temperature profiles increase due to increase in thermal radiation parameter. The microrotation   profile increases when boundary parameter is increased. Also, the skin friction coefficient and local Nusselt are plotted for various    parameters.

This study presents a mathematical analysis of a hydromagnetic boundary layer flow, heat and mass transfer characteristics on steady twodimensional flow of a micropolar fluid over a stretching sheet embedded in a non-Darcian porous medium with uniform magnetic field in the presence of thermal radiation. The governing system of partial differential equations is first transformed into a system of non- linear ordinary differential equation using the usual similarity transformation. The resulting coupled non-linear ordinary differential equations are then solved using perturbation technique. With the help of graphs, the effects of the various important parameters entering into the problem on the velocity, temperature and concentration fields within the boundary layer are separately discussed. The effects of the pertinent parameters on the wall temperature, wall solutal concentration, skin friction coefficient and the rate of heat and mass transfer are presented numerically in tabular form. The results obtained showed that these parameters have significant influence on the flow.

Abstract This analysis presents the applications of entropy generation phenomenon in incompressible flow of Jeffrey nanofluid in presence of distinct thermal features. The novel aspects of various features like Joule heating, porous medium, dissipation features and radiative mechanism is addressed. In order to improve the thermal transportation systems based on nanomaterials, the convective boundary conditions are introduced. The thermal viscoelastic nanofluid model is expressed in term of differential equations. The problem is presented via nonlinear differential equations for which analytical expressions are obtained by using homotopy analysis method(HAM). The accuracy of solution is ensured. The effective outcomes of all physical parameters associated with the flow model are carefully examined and underlined through various curves. The observations summarized from current analysis reveal that presence of permeability parameter offers resistance to the flow. A monotonic decrement in local Nusselt number is noted with Hartmann number and Prandtl number. Moreover, entropy generation and Bejan number increases with radiation parameter and fluid parameter.
