Entropy analysis of natural convection Jeffrey fluid flow through a vertical channel with an inclined magnetic field effect under Navier-slip conditions

Abstract

Jeffrey fluid flow was found to have extensive applications in many fields of engineering. There are numerous applications of Jeffrey fluid in polymer industries and industrial fluids like paints, paper, toothpaste, ketchup, etc. The present work explains the entropy generation of Jeffrey fluid on natural convection Navier-slip flow through a vertical channel having an inclined magnetic field. The governing equations are converted into dimensionless equations by using suitable transformation. To solve dimensionless governing equations, the spectral quasi-linearization method is used. The findings are shown graphically and quantitatively for active parameters that appear in mathematical formulations. The results demonstrate that as the magnetic parameter, angle of inclination, and Soret parameter values increase, the entropy generation number also increases.
