Consequences of thermal radiation and entropy generation in magnetohydrodynamic Darcy-Forchheimer flow of nanomaterials

Abstract

Recently nanomaterials much attention has been paid to nanoparticles and their manufacturing processes. Researchers attracted towards exploring the nanoliquid transport and thermal transport analyses subject to some physical phenomenon by using different condition. Also keeping in mind, the enhanced efficiency of thermal transport related device in nanofluid. Here we discussed the entropy generation and partial slip in mixed convective flow of nanomaterial bounded by a stretching boundary are addressed. First order chemical reaction and radiation are taken. Porous medium and permeable sheet are considered. Nonlinear formulation is solved by homotopy analysis technique (HAM). Solutions are analyzed for velocity, concentration, thermal field, entropy rate, heat transport rate, Bejan number and mass transfer rate. Higher magnetic fields have opposite effect on temperature and velocity. An enhancement in temperature and entropy generation rate are seen through radiation parameter. Concentration has opposite trend for both Brownian and thermophoresis parameters. Entropy rate has increasing effect for magnetic parameter. Main results are synthesized in the conclusions.
