Entropy generation and nonlinear thermal radiation analysis on axisymmetric MHD Ellis nanofluid over a horizontally permeable stretching cylinder

Abstract

This article aims to investigate the formation of entropy and its effects on Ellis nanofluid flow through a horizontally porous stretching cylinder. To manage the heat transfer rate the magnetic field, non-linear thermal radiations, and joule heating have all been explored. On Ellis nanofluid motion, the importance of nanofluid parameters, Brownian, and thermophoresis diffusions is investigated. The fundamental equations are transformed into a nonlinear system of ODEs by using suitable similarity transformations and numerically resolved by Matlab technique bcp4c. Graphs are used to study the impact of key parameters of velocity, Bejan number, temperature, entropy production, and concentration profiles. We also use tables to assess the impact of various characteristics on skin friction, Nusselt number, and Sherwood number.
