Entropy generation minimization of Ag-Fe_3O_4/water-ethylene glycol squeezed hybrid nanofluid flow between parallel disks

Abstract

Purpose This paper aims to examine the squeezing flow of hybrid nanofluid within the two parallel disks. The 50:50% water–ethylene glycol mixture is used as a base fluid to prepare Ag–Fe_3O_4 hybrid nanofluid. Entropy generation analysis is examined by using the second law of thermodynamics, and Darcy’s modal involves estimating the behavior of a porous medium. The influences of Viscous dissipation, Joule heating and thermal radiation in modeling are further exerted into concern. Design/methodology/approach For converting partial differential systems to ordinary systems, a transformation technique is used. For the validation part, the numerical solution is computed by embracing a fourth-order exactness program (bvp4c) and compared with the analytical solution added by the homotopy analysis method (HAM). Graphical decisions expose the values of miscellaneous-arising parameters on the velocity, temperature and local-Nusselt numbers. Findings Hybrid nanofluid gives significant enhancement in the rate of heat transfer compared with nanofluid. The outcomes indicate that the average Nusselt number and entropy generation are increasing functions of the magnetic field, porosity and Brinkman number. When the thermal radiation rises, the average Nusselt number diminishes and the entropy generation advances. Furthermore, combining silver and magnetite nanoparticles into the water–ethylene glycol base fluid significantly enhances entropy generation performance. Originality/value Entropy generation analysis of the magneto-hydrodynamics (MHD) fluid squeezed between two parallel disks by considering Joule heating, viscous dissipation and thermal radiation for different nanoparticles is addressed. Furthermore, an appropriate agreement is obtained in comparing the numerical results with previously published and analytical results.

Cattano Christov double diffusion model for third grade nanofluid flow over a stretching Riga plate with entropy generation analysis

“…Employing - /ethylene glycol non-Newtonian nanofluid in a wavy microchannel including hydrophobic surfaces, Derikvand et al [10] assessed entropy generation and forced convection analysis. Agrawal and Kaswan [3] explored a comparison of the hybrid nanofluid and nanofluid entropy generation and heat transfer flow between two parallel disks possessed in a porous medium. Shah et al [34] investigated the behavior of a stretchable Riga wall under mixed convective radiative fourth-grade nanofluid flow, taking into account Cattaneo-Christov (CC) model and viscous dissipation.…”

Entropy Generation and Thermal Radiation Impact on Magneto-Convective Flow of Heat-Generating Hybrid Nano-Liquid in a Non-Darcy Porous Medium with Non-Uniform Heat Flux

“…Sivasankran [55] investigated the direction of a moving wall, thermal radiation, and entropy on combined convective steam and the energy transfer of a nano-fluid in an enclosed box with a driven lid. Within the two parallel discs, Agrawal [56] examined the compressing flow of a hybrid nano-fluid. Given buoyancy force, Bai [57] discussed the effect of entropy generation on the unsteady flow of an upper-convected Maxwell nano-fluid past a wedge embedded in a porous medium.…”

Comparative study of ternary hybrid nanofluids with role of thermal radiation and Cattaneo-Christov heat flux between double rotating disks

“…The electromagnetic flow of hybrid nanofluids traveling across two discs was studied by Farooq et al 3 . Agrawal and Kaswan 4 looked at the effects of entropy production on the flow of hybrid nanofluids through discs. In the context of heat electromagnetic radiation, Abbas et al 5 looked into the Marangoni flow of a mixed nanofluid through a disc.…”
