Entropy analysis of Darcy-Forchheimer flow of Reiner-Rivlin A1 ₂ O ₃ –Cu/engine oil based hybrid nanofluid between two rotating disks

This paper analyzes the flow of the Reiner-Rivlin hybrid nanofluid, considering the magnetic field and varying thermal conductivity between two spinning disks. Appropriate similarity variables are used to transform all dimensional equations into dimensionless form. A semi-analytical homotopy analysis approach applied to solve dimensionless equations and velocity profiles, temperature distribution, Nusselt number, skin friction, entropy generation, and Bejan number are presented graphically. Some key outcomes include that axial and tangential velocities decreases when porosity parameters increase. Additionally, higher Eckert number when varying from 1 to 1.3, increases the temperature near the center of the two disks from 1.02 to 1.18. The heat transfer rate goes up from 10.2767 to 10.3043 when thermal conductivity rises from 0.1 to 0.7. The entropy generation grows in proportion to the Brinkman number, Reynolds number, and the porosity parameter values. This research might enhance cooling, lubrication, and thermal management in automotive, aerospace, and biomedical industries.
