Thin Film Flow of Tangent Hyperbolic Fluid with Nonlinear Mixed Convection Flow and Entropy Generation

This paper examined the three-dimensional steady thin film flow of tangent hyperbolic fluid with nonlinear mixed convection flow and entropy generation past a stretching surface under the influence of magnetic field. For the flow problem, the Cattaneo–Christov heat and mass diffusion model was employed to examine heat and mass transfer characteristics and impacts of the normally directed magnetic field. To transform nonlinear PDEs into ODEs, the variable transformation technique was used. The bvp4c algorithm was implemented to solve these ODEs. The behavior of every leading parameter on the velocities, temperature, concentration profile, entropy generation, and Bejan number was reported with tabular and figurative form. The results show that as the values of Br increase, the entropy generation enhances, but the Bejan number decreases. Moreover, as the values of B increase, the opposite characteristics are observed in entropy generation and Bejan number graphs. Furthermore, the skin friction coefficient number, local Nusselt number, and Sherwood number are graphically discussed for the active involved parameters. The best agreement is recorded when we compare this paper with the previous literature for various values of M .

Thermal augmentation in solar aircraft using tangent hyperbolic hybrid nanofluid: A solar energy application

The major source of heat from the sun is solar energy, with enormous use of photovoltaic technology, solar power plates, photovoltaic lights and pumping solar water. This time is about the analysis of solar radiation and how the efficiency of solar aircraft may be improved by using solar radiation and nanotechnology. The study is intended to develop analyses of solar aircraft hybrid nanofluid transfer via parabolic trough surface collector solar wings. Solar radiative flow was named the heat source. The heat transfer efficiency of the wings is evaluated for various phenomena such as a slanted magnetic field, Joule heating, play heat and thermal radiative flow. The entropy production study was carried out in the instance of the tangent hyperbolic fluid. The modelled energy and momentum formulas were controlled with the well-established Keller box numerical technique. This work consists of ethylene glycol standard fluid with two differing types of nanosolid particles copper and silver. Different control factors for velocities, shear stress and temperature are addressed and shown in the figures and tables as well as surface friction and heat transport rate. In terms of thermal transfer, the efficacy of the aviation wings with thermal radiation amplification and changeable thermal conduction parameters is enhanced. Hybrid nanofluid is an ideal source of heat transmission compared to conventional nanofluids. Silver–copper/ethylene glycol thermal efficiency is reduced between 2.6% and 4.4% than copper–ethylene glycol nanofluid.

Entropy generation of peristaltic Eyring–Powell nanofluid flow in a vertical divergent channel for biomedical applications

Exploring the movement of blood in a blood vessel has been fascinated by clinicians and biomedical researchers because it is predominant in cell tissue engineering, drug targeting and various treatments like hypothermia, hyperthermia, and cancer. It is noticed that numerous non-Newtonian rheological fluids like Carreau fluid, tangent hyperbolic fluid, Eyring–Powell fluid and viscoelastic fluid manifest the characteristics of blood flow. Further, the investigation of entropy generation can be used to raise the performance of medical equipments. Consequently, the present mathematical model scrutinizes the transport characteristics and entropy generation of the peristaltic Eyring–Powell nanofluid in a permeable vertical divergent channel in the presence of dissipation and linear radiation. The non-similar variables are employed to convert the dimensional partial differential equations into dimensionless form which are tackled by the Homotopy perturbation method. The impacts of emerging parameters like Eyring–Powell parameters, left and right wall amplitudes, thermophoresis, mean flow rate, radiation, permeability parameter, Brownian motion, Eckert number, Hartman number on Eyring–Powell nanofluid axial velocity, temperature, and concentration are manifested. Present results disclose that the thermal Grashof number highly inflates the pressure rise. Eyring–Powell nanofluid temperature reduces for uplifting the linear radiation parameter. Growing values of the non-uniform parameter lead to move the trapping bolus towards the left and right wall. The total entropy generation diminishes for magnifying the temperature difference parameter.

Scrutiny of entropy optimized tangent hyperbolic fluid (non-Newtonian) through perturbation and numerical methods between heated plates

Objective: Many methods have been used to maximize the capacity of heat transport. A constant pressure gradient or the motion of the wall can be used to increase the heat transfer rate and minimize entropy. The main goal of our investigation is to develop a mathematical model of a non-Newtonian fluid bounded within a parallel geometry. Minimization of entropy generation within the system also forms part of our objective. Method: Perturbation theory is applied to the nonlinear complex system of equations to obtain a series solution. The regular perturbation method is used to obtain analytical solutions to the resulting dimensionless nonlinear ordinary differential equations. A numerical scheme (the shooting method) is also used to validate the series solution obtained. Results: The flow and temperature of the fluid are accelerated as functions of the non-Newtonian parameter (via the power-law index). The pressure gradient parameter escalates the heat and volume flux fields. The energy loss due to entropy increases via the viscous heating parameter. A diminishing characteristic is predicted for the wall shear stress that occurs at the bottom plate versus the time-constant parameter. The Reynolds number suppresses the volume flux field.
