Analysis of Entropy Generation on MHD Radiative Viscous-Ohmic Dissipative Heat Transfer Over a Stretching Sheet in a Chemically Reactive Jeffrey Nanofluid with Non-Uniform Heat Source/Sink Based on SQLM

Abstract

We have examined the effect of entropy generation and nonlinear thermal radiation on magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) in Jeffrey nanofluid over a permeable stretching sheet with viscous-Ohmic dissipation and non-uniform heat source/sink. Brownian motion and thermophoresis effects have also been taken into account. The basic governing equations of the boundary layer flow are then solved numerically by the Spectral Quasilinearization method (SQLM). Various controlling physical parameters effects on velocity, temperature, concentration, entropy generation and Bejan number profiles are presented graphically. Results show that increasing the magnetic parameter, Brownian motion parameter, and thermophoresis parameter enhance the temperature profiles. Furthermore, the entropy generation profiles increase with space-dependent and temperature-dependent parameters, wall mass flux parameter, and chemical reaction parameter near to the sheet. In contrast, reverse trends are observed away from the sheet. Novelty of entropy generation is also provided to reflect the effects of several relevant physical parameters on the entropy generation rate and Bejan number.
