Entropy Analysis for Cilia-Generated Motion of Cu-Blood Flow of Nanofluid in an Annulus

Abstract

In this study, a novel model of entropy generation effects measured in the Cu-blood flow of a nanofluid under the effect of ciliary-oriented motion is proposed. The effects of viscous dissipation are also taken into account. The physical model was composed with the incorporation of a low Reynolds number and long-wavelength phenomena. The exact solutions for the axial velocity, temperature and pressure gradient distribution were achieved successfully. Key findings are presented through a strategy of plotting the significant factors affecting the physical quantities of the stream. It was found that the heat absorption parameter and Brownian motion accounted for the large thermal transfer rate, while the effect of entropy was minimal compared to these factors in the center of the flow but increased on the walls in the case of Cu-blood flow. It can also be added that a more intense flow gave rise to the entropy effects. This study may be helpful in medical science as cilia play vital roles, which include cell migration and external fluid transport, in human tissues and some key organs. Moreover, the considered annulus-shaped geometry gives vital readings that are used in medical equipment such as endoscopes.

Insight in Thermally Radiative Cilia-Driven Flow of Electrically Conducting Non-Newtonian Jeffrey Fluid under the Influence of Induced Magnetic Field

“…As heat transport occurs due to temperature differences, the three primary mechanisms of heat transfer are conduction, convection, and radiation. Improving heat transport is important in a ciliated movement [15][16][17][18][19]. Akbar and Butt [20] investigated the viscoelastic fluid model under the impact of heat transfer to better understand the role of cilia in the respiratory system and its essential roles associated with fluid transport in the human body.…”

Thermal Case Study of Cilia Actuated Transport of Radiated Blood-Based Ternary Nanofluid under the Action of Tilted Magnetic Field

“…An MHD biomimetic blood pump model was suggested by Ramesh et al [17]. Ashraf et al [18] and Riaz et al [19] claimed that epic cilia length enhances fluid flow rate in cilia-assisted motion of viscous fluid and water-based nanofluid in symmetric shaped conduit.…”

“…Some interesting studies of fabricated cilia in the perception of microfluidic processing, instantaneous mixing and pumping are mentioned [16][17][18][19]. In this regime, Javid et al [20] presented a mathematical model of pumping transport induced by cilia stimulated asymmetric metachronal waves and reported that prolonged cilia contribute to fluid flow enhancement.…”

“…In addition, Nagaraj et al (2018) introduced combined influence of magnetic and electric fields on synovial fluid in a biological bearing. Moreover, the topic of studying the nanofluid has played a vital role in explaining many physical phenomena as presented by Othman et al (2019), Moghaddaszadeh et al (2019), Bagherzadeh et al (2020), Zhang et al (2020), Riaz et al (2021a, 2021b) and Abo-Elkhair et al (2021).…”
