Entropy generation with nonlinear heat and mass transfer on MHD boundary layer over a moving surface using SLM

Abstract

In this article, entropy generation with combined effects of thermal radiation and chemical reaction on MHD boundary layer over a moving surface has been investigated. The governing flow comprises of linear momentum equation, energy, and concentration equations which are modified with the help of similarity variables. The reduced resulting nonlinear coupled ordinary differential equations are solved with the help of Successive linearization method (SLM) and Chebyshev spectral collocation method. The impact of all the physical parameters is demonstrated numerically and graphically. A detailed analysis have been given for all the pertinent parameters such as Hartmann number, porosity parameter, Prandtl number, radiation parameter, suction/injection parameter, moving parameter, Brinkmann number, Reynolds number, chemical reaction parameter and Schmidt number on velocity, temperature, concentration and entropy profile aswell as the Skin friction coefficient,Nusselt number and Sherwood number are also conducted. The numerical comparison has also been given to the existing published literature.
