摘要
The minimization of entropy generation can be used towards the optimization of various engineering systems. Considering the increasing interest in non-Newtonian flows within boundary layers due to moving boundaries and in nanofluids, as a means of enhancing the thermal performance, a comprehensive study is presented aiming at optimizing such thermal systems. In particular, this numerical study deals with the entropy generation pertaining to a two-dimensional permeable stretching sheet consisting of a Jeffrey nanofluid subject to different parameters that can be utilized in real processes. Thus, the effects of an externally applied magnetic field, nonlinear thermal radiation, Brownian motion, thermophoresis, activation energy and nanoparticles concentration is investigated on the fluid flow, temperature field and entropy generation. The governing equations are reduced to ordinary differential equations via similarity transformation and solved numerically by using the Runge–Kutta–Fehlberg method along with shooting method. The results demonstrated entropy minimization can be accomplished by decreasing magnetic field, Prandtl, Eckert and Schmidt numbers as well as nanoparticle volume fraction. It is expected that the present analysis would be particularly useful in a broad range of engineering problems where such formulation can be applied. © 2022, The Author(s), under exclusive licence to Springer Nature India Private Limited.
