Entropy analysis on MHD pseudo-plastic nanofluid flow through a vertical porous channel with convective heating

Abstract: This paper is concerned with the entropy generation in a magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) pseudo-plastic nanofluid flow through a porous channel with convective heating. Three different types of nanoparticles, namely copper, aluminum oxide and titanium dioxide are considered with pseudo-plastic carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC)-water used as base fluids. The governing equations are solved numerically by shooting technique coupled with Runge-Kutta scheme. The effects of the pertinent parameters on the fluid velocity, temp… Show more

“…Nanofluid flow is assumed to be laminar and the base fluid and the nanoparticles are in thermal equilibrium. The thermophysical properties of the nanofluid are displayed in Table 1 (e.g., Das et al, 2015). A schematic view of the MHD channel with the permeable plates is shown in Fig.…”
