Abstract:Entropy generation is one of the most decisive factors to determine the irreversibility characteristics of various heat transport processes. Therefore, this study explores the entropy generation caused by viscous dissipation, ohmic heating, mass transfers, and chemical reactions during Newtonian flow processes through a microchannel with ciliated walls. Mathematical framework of the present model is made up of five nonlinear partial differential equations in velocity components, pressure gradient, temperature,… Show more
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.
