Abstract

AbstractThe purpose of the current study is to inspect entropy generation, mixed convective stagnation point flow, and thermal transfer features of nonlinear radiative fourth-grade hybrid nanofluid (NF) confined by a convectively heated Riga surface. The heat transport is examined with the existence of two disparate heat source modulations, variable thermal conductivity, and viscous dissipation. The original flow equations are first transmuted using appropriate transformations into non-dimensional ordinary differential equations, which are then solved via an overlapping grid-based spectral collocation scheme. The upshots of various pertinent parameters on velocity, temperature, entropy generation, and valuable engineering quantities are deliberated. Pivotal results obtained reveal that speedily flow of fluid and skin friction can be accelerated by strong magnetic force, rising mixed convection, and material parameters. Also, convective boundary conditions, along with nonlinear radiation and fluctuating thermal conductivity, are recommended for boosting fluid temperature, rates of entropy generation and heat transport. Thermal mechanism in hybrid NF is dominant over simple NF, which implies that performance of hybrid NF is better than that of simple NF. The outcomes of this study can be useful in enriching thermal performance of the working fluid, assisting in diagnosing causes of incompetency in thermal systems, and discovering suitable means of minimizing entropy generation with the intention of mitigating the loss of useful and scarce energy resources.
