Impact of Slip and the Entropy Generation in a Darcy-Forchhimer Nanofluid Past a Curved Stretching Sheet with Heterogeneous and Homogenous Chemical Reactions

Abstract

An exploration of the 2-D electrically conductive Darcy-Forchheimer nanofluid motion past a curved stretching sheet is presented in this literature. To enhance the flow behavior, the characteristics of partial slip, convective condition, and the role of both heterogeneous and homogenous chemical reactions are also vital. The main focus of the investigation is to illustrate the minimization of entropy formation in the system as well as the influence of the Bejan number. Development of the complex nonlinear system is obtained employing suitable similarity variables. Because of the intricacy of the issue, a numerical approach such as the Runge-Kutta-Fehlberg method is applied to solve transformed governing equations. Variations of contributing physical factors on the flow aspect are attained and displayed through graphs also the numerical validation of the present outcome with the prior study is attained and deployed through tables. Finally, the interesting outcomes are described as; attenuation in entropy generation is marked with the enhanced values of the permeability and Brinkman number, whereas retardation in Bejan value is encountered for greater Brinkman number and slip factor. Finally, a comparison with the earlier study shows good agreement in a particular case.
