Entropy generation of magnetohydrodynamic electroosmotic flow in two-layer systems with a layer of non-conducting viscoelastic fluid

Abstract The entropy generation analysis is investigated in two-fluid dragging systems. The bottom layer fluid is considered as electrolyte solution affected by the applied magnetic field and the upper layer fluid is viewed as non-conducting viscoelastic Phan-Thien-Tanner (PTT) fluid. Under the combined influences of electric and magnetic fields, the upper layer non-conducting PTT fluid can be dragged by the bottom layer fluid due to the interfacial shear stress. Firstly, we obtain the analytical velocity expressions for both bottom layer and upper layer fluids under the unidirectional flow assumption. The bottom layer fluid velocity distribution shows a classical M-type velocity profile. The upper layer fluid flow can be viewed as the plate Couette flow or Couette-Poiseuille flow. Subsequently, the thermal transport characteristic and entropy generation analysis are discussed in the present two-fluid dragging system. The results show that magnetic field can enhance the local entropy generation rate, but viscoelastic physical parameter can restrain the local entropy generation rate. The present theoretical research can be used in the design of thermofluidic device. By manipulating the electric and magnetic fields strength and the ratio of fluid rheological properties, the fluid motion and heat transfer characteristics can be manoeuvred efficiently.
