Physical analysis and thermal case of magnetized fluid flow and heat transfer via stretchable cylinder: Hall impact and entropy generation

The study of fluid flow in cylindrical shapes under the effect of electric fields is of utmost importance because of its vast applications in industrial, agricultural, and biomedical domains, as well as in drilling machines, equipment, transport brakes, and vehicles. The purpose of this research is to analyze the influence of Hall impacts, slippage effects, and thermal relaxation time on the magnetohydrodynamic flow near an extended cylinder or flat plate. An assessment of entropy generation is carried out. Results are determined by the process of elongating a planar surface and a cylindrical object. The velocity field and entropy production are greater in the case of a stretched cylinder compared to a stretching flat plate. The choice of an appropriate stretching surface may have an impact on the thermal conductivity of the boundary layer. Velocity, temperature, and entropy are influenced by several factors including the Eckert number, thermal relaxation time, transverse curvature, magnetic field, Hall effect, molecular slip, and mixed convection parameters. These characteristics influence the movement of fluid, the transfer of heat, the measure of disorder (entropy), and the Bejan number. The variables mentioned cause changes in skin friction and Nusselt values. The Hall effect has advantages in reducing friction and enhancing heat transfer in industrial and technical processes.
