Entropy analysis of hybrid nanofluid flow over a rotating porous disk: A multivariate analysis

Abstract

This article discusses the flow of a time-dependent biviscosity hybrid nanofluid boundary layer across a rotational permeable disk with effects of magnetic field and thermal radiation, and the subjective and quantitative transfer of heat flow. In the classic Von Karman issue, nanofluids comprising volume fractions of Ag-MgO/60% water and 40% ethylene glycol are considered instead of Newtonian regular fluids. The governing equations are transformed nonlinear ordinary differential equations using Von Karman transformations. The equation for the generation of entropy is calculated as a function of velocity and temperature gradient. This equation is made nondimensional by adding geometric and physical flow field-dependent parameters. The velocity profiles in the radial, tangential, and axial directions, as well as the axial pressure gradient, nanoparticle temperature distribution, local skin friction, Nusselt number, and Bejan number, are calculated by using MATLAB bvp4c. The multivariate analysis is implemented in the numerical results of the Nusselt number. A rotation parameter is generated by the spinning phenomena, which regulates the disk's movement. Increasing the rotation of the disk causes fluid velocity to accelerate in both the radial and cross-radial directions, while contrasting phenomena can be noticed in the axial velocity of the flow. The temperature and wall shear stress of a nanofluid both rise with the disc's Brinkman number and the volume fraction of nanoparticles. Increasing the thickness of the thermal boundary layer raises the axial pressure gradient. Entropy measured by the Bejan number Influences the magnetic field and the Biot number. Physical parameters presented in this article may be used to optimize the system's performance. A magnetic rotating porous disk drives could be used in nuclear space propulsion engines and in heat transfer augmentation in thermal management and renewable energy sources.
