In this work, the influence of entropy generation analysis for an electrically conducting Casson fluid flow with convective boundary conditions has been numerically studied. The governing equations are analyzed numerically using weighted residual methods. Subsequently, the residuals were minimized using two different approaches of weighted residual method namely collocation weighted residual method (CWRM) and Galerkin weighted residual method (GWRM) and computed numerically using MATHEMATICAL software. The impacts of governing parameters on Casson flow velocity, temperature profile, local skin friction, and Nusselt number were analysed. The obtained solutions were used to determine the heat transfer irreversibility and bejan number of the model. The results of the computation show that the effect of thermophysical properties such as thermal radiation parameter, suction/injection parameter, magnetic field parameter, radiation parameter, and Eckert number has a significant influence on Skin friction coefficient (Cf) and local Nusselt number (Nu) when compared to the Newtonian fluid. The findings from this study are relevant to advances in viscoelasticity and enhanced oil recovery.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
