Evaluation of entropy generation in cubic autocatalytic unsteady squeezing flow of nanofluid between two parallel plates

BACKGROUND Nanomaterials have advanced behaviors that make them possibly beneficial in various applications in mass and heat transports such as engine cooling, pharmaceutical processes, fuel cells, engine cooling and domestic refrigerator etc. Therefore here we deliberated the entropy generation in unsteady magnetohydrodynamic squeezing flow of viscous nanomaterials between two parallel plates. The upper plate is squeezing towards lower plate. The lower plate exhibits porous character. Energy attributes are discussed through heat flux, dissipation and Joule heating. Furthermore the irreversibility analysis with cubic autocatalysis chemical reaction is also accounted. METHODS Nonlinear differential systems are converted to ordinary differential system by transformations. For convergent series solution the given system are solved by homotopy analysis method (HAM). RESULTS Characteristics of various interesting variables on velocity, Bejan number, concentration, entropy optimization and temperature are deliberated through graphs. Gradient of velocity (Cfx) and Nusselt number (Nux) are numerically computed against various physical variables. Entropy generation and Bejan number both quantitatively enhance versus radiation parameter. For larger squeezing parameter the velocity and temperature field are increased. CONCLUSIONS The obtained results show that for larger squeezing parameter the velocity field boosts up. Velocity have opposite impact For larger magnetic and porosity parameters. Temperature is decreased for higher values of radiation parameter and Prandtl number. Temperature and concentration have same outcome for thermophoresis parameter. Entropy generation and Bejan number both quantitatively enhance versus radiation parameter, while reverse is hold for Brinkman number.
