Entropy optimized chemical reactive flow of nanofluid subjected to a stretchable cylinder

Abstract

The main aim of this paper is to provide numerical simulation for viscous nanofluid by stretching cylinder using Buongiorno’s model. Dissipation, Joule heating and magnetic impact with irreversibility analysis are examined. Furthermore, Brownian movement and thermophoresis diffusion effects are studied. Through constitutive relations, nonlinear equations are obtained. By adopting suitable variables, the partial differential equations are changed to ordinary differential equations. Entropy rate is calculated using thermodynamics second law. ND-solve technique in Mathematica is employed to tackle dimensionless ordinary differential equations. The behavior of flow controlling parameters is examined graphically. Physical quantities are discussed through tables. A decrement in velocity is seen through magnetic effect, while opposite impact is seen for entropy rate. A similar scenario is seen for thermal field through random and thermophoresis variables. Reduction in concentration is seen for reaction parameter and Schmidt number. Important findings are presented.
