Abstract

The study considers gold-water nanofluid flow past a porous rotating disk while accounting for prescribed heat flux and suction at the boundary layer of the disk. The physical parameters of the nanoparticle volume fraction, magnetic parameter and entropy generation are investigated and presented in this paper. The numerically solved nonlinear equations by the spectral quasilinearization technique. The main findings are presented in graphical form and discussed for variations of the flow parameters. The findings indicate that increased nanoparticle volume concentration fall in velocity but a overshoot in temperature, while enhancing the magnetic parameter is associated with reduced velocity distribution and increased skin friction. Among other findings, the results also show that increasing the Brinkman number leads to increased entropy generation but reduced Bejan number, while the Reynolds number increasing in the generation of elevated levels of entropy production. The reliability, error analysis and accuracy are checked through convergence of the method. The accuracy is further tested through a comparison of results for limiting cases with those in the literature. The findings of this study have significant applications in engineering, science and technology.
