Cattano Christov double diffusion model for third grade nanofluid flow over a stretching Riga plate with entropy...

The current investigation delves into the convective heat and mass transfer characteristics of third-grade radiative nanofluid flow within a porous medium over a Riga plate configuration. The Riga plate structure incorporates magnets and electrodes strategically arranged on a plate surface. To enhance the accuracy of energy and concentration expressions within the third-grade fluid flow, the Cattano Christov Double Diffusion model is employed. Entropy generation analysis is conducted by applying the second law of thermodynamics, and Darcy's model is employed to characterize the behavior of a porous medium. Appropriate similarity transformations have been used to convert the partial differential equations monitoring the fluid flow model into dimensionless ordinary differential equations. The Galerkin weighted residual method is employed to resolve these equations numerically. The findings contain detailed explanations of how relevant factors affect the temperature field, concentration field, velocity field, entropy generation, and Bejan number, in addition to graphic representations of the results. The findings indicate that the medium's porosity and Brinkman number promote entropy generation. The Bejan number and entropy production is affected by the thermal radiation parameter, which first rises and then declines after a certain distance.
