Computational assessment of chemically reactive tangent hyperbolic ternary hybrid nanofluid and thermal radiation in a Darcy-Forchheimer regime

Abstract

This inspection examines the irreversibility analysis of Darcy Forchheimer's flow of tangent hyperbolic tri-hybrid nanofluid through stretching sheets in convective heating conditions. Engine oil (EO) is considered the base fluid for the tri-hybrid nanoparticles containing alumina ($A{l}_2{O}_3$), copper ($Cu$), and titanium oxide ($Ti{O}_2$). Thermal radiation, heat source/sink and chemical reaction have been encountered. The entropy generation is expressed as a result of friction in fluids, transfer of heat, and concentration diffusion. The constitution equations have been transmuted by using appropriate transformation. The transmuted equations have been tackled through a BVP4c technique. The influence of various physical variables on the velocity distribution, thermal field, concentration of nanoparticles, entropy generation, Bejan number, drag friction, heat, and mass transfer has been discussed graphically and in tabular form. An enhancement in the inertia coefficient and Weissenberg number shrinkages the profile of the velocity field. However, the thermal field is escalated for the larger magnitude of thermal radiation and Biot number. The entropy minimization and Bejan number augments with the boosting magnitude of the Brinkman number.
