Entropy optimized flow of Jeffrey fluid with radiation effect over a stretched surface

Abstract

The theme of this paper is to scrutinize hydromagnetic flow of Jeffrey fluid subject to stretched curved sheet. Heat expression is developed through dissipation, magnetic force and radiation. Entropy generation is also studied. First order isothermal reaction is examined. Nonlinear ordinary differential systems are found through adequate transformation. Here we have used the ND-based numerical solution method to develop numerical results. Impact of sundry variables on temperature, fluid flow, concentration and entropy rate are discussed. Performance of skin friction and heat transport rate via flow parameters are graphically studied. An increase in curvature variables lead to improve velocity and thermal field. Higher approximation of radiation enhances temperature. An intensification in drag force is seen versus Deborah number. Larger approximation of Brinkman number boosts up entropy analysis.
