Abstract
Research into hybrid nanofluid flow over a disk surface is growing due to numerous processes in marine or gas turbines, rotating disk reactors for biofuels generation, cooling of spinning equipment components and other industrial applications. The purpose of this research study is to examine the entropy generation for the transient thermocapillary flow of hybrid nanoliquid thin films across a disk surface with different shapes of nanoparticles. To analyze the nanomaterial, the Tiwari–Das hybrid nanofluid flow model is established, and in doing so, Prandtl’s boundary layer theory is incorporated into this model. The energy equation considers the impacts of thermal radiation, two different kinds of heat sources — namely an exponentially space-dependent heat source and a linear thermal heat source — and viscous dissipation. The nonlinear partial differential equations, which explain the flow processes, are transformed into the nondimensional ordinary differential equations (ODEs). Once the ODEs have been constructed, they are next solved using the bvp4c technique. In addition, the surface drag force and the rate of heat transfer are both evaluated as functions of the shape factor of the nanoparticles that are disseminated in the base fluid. The influence of significant parameters on the flow fields is depicted graphically, and adequate physical explanations are provided for each representation. One of the important findings of this study indicates that the largest amount of heat transfer can be accomplished at the disk surface by employing nanoparticles with blade shape, while this physical quantity is the least when nanoparticles with spherical shapes are used. The temperature profile grows as the thermal and exponential heat sources increase. Entropy generation improves with the increase in either the magnetic parameter or the Brinkman number.
