Nanomaterial based flow of Prandtl-Eyring (non-Newtonian) fluid using Brownian and thermophoretic diffusion with...

The augmentation of cooling or heating in a mechanical and industrial process may create a saving in energy, decrease process time, protract the working existence of hardware and raise thermal rating. A few procedures are even influenced subjectively by the action of increased heat transport. The advancement of high performance thermal frameworks for heat transport augmentation has turned out to be well known these days. Various works has been conducted to gain an understanding of heat transport execution for their viable application to heat transport enhancement. Consequently the appearance of high heat flow procedures has made huge interest for new innovations to increase the heat transport. Therefore, entropy generation in dissipative nanomaterial flow of Prandtl-Eyring nanofluid subject to heated stretchable surface. The impact of zero shear rate viscosity is discussed through Prandtl-Eyring fluid model. Through implementation of thermodynamics second law's total entropy rate is calculated. Heat and mass transfer features are discussed using Brownian diffusion and thermophoresis. Homogeneous and heterogeneous chemical reactions are also accounted.

Nonlinear partial differential systems are leads to ordinary systems through adequate similarity transformations. The obtained nonlinear ordinary systems are solved by Newton built in shooting technique.

Behaviors of different flow parameters on velocity, temperature, entropy generation rate, Bejan number and concentration are graphically discussed. Skin friction coefficient and heat transfer rate are discussed through tables. Entropy generation rate enhances for larger estimation of material parameter and Brinkman number. Bejan number is equal to one when Brinkman number is equal to zero and then progressively decreases for higher values of Brinkman number.

A significant increment has been observed in the velocity field versus material parameter, while opposite trends is noticed forβ.Temperature field enhances against higher values of thermophoresis and Brownian parameters while it decays through larger Prandtl number. Mass concentration upsurges versus higher thermophoresis parameter and declined via larger Brownian parameter and homogeneous and heterogeneous parameters. Furthermore, entropy rate and Bejan number show contrast impact versus material parameter and Brinkman number.
