Optimization of entropy and heat transfer in a magnetohydrodynamic marangoni convection flow of biviscosity bingham hybrid nanofluid through convergent channel
Abstract
This study examines the entropy generation and heat transfer performance in a Jeffrey-Hamel flow of biviscosity Bingham fluid with the addition of A l 2 O 3 and C u nanomaterials in the presence of a thermal Marangoni convective process. An emerging Jeffrey-Hamel problem is extended with the implementation of the Bingham fluid stress tensor in a Naiver Stokes equation. The governing equations with Marangoni boundary conditions due to surface tension are solved computationally utilizing the Keller-Box methodology. The findings demonstrate the complex interplay of entropy production processes, fluid-solid interfaces, and thermal Marangoni convection. Findings demonstrated that increasing Marangoni, Bingham parameters, and thermal radiation enhances the rate of heat transmission. The influence of the Marangoni and Bingham parameters on skin friction is conflicting in a narrow channel. System entropy and flow field uplift with a higher Marangoni convection parameter. Increasing the Reynolds number significantly increases the drag force, whereas the effect of the magnetic variable is the reverse. Velocity is an increasing function of the Reynolds and Bingham parameters and deteriorates with the load of nanomaterials. Temperature is a rising function of nanomaterial load, Eckert, and Bingham parameter. The results of this investigation have important ramifications for improving heat transfer, coolant systems, and nozzles design.
