Dynamical irreversible processes analysis of Poiseuille magneto-hybrid nanofluid flow in microchannel: A novel case study

Waves in Random and Complex Media, Year 2021

In addition to solar water heating and transformers, these applications of research include heat exchangers and braking fluids, as well as acoustics and microelectronics. The mathematical model of Poiseuille hybrid nanofluid flow through a microchannel is considered with differing thermal conductivity and viscosity parameters. This mathematical model has mainly been developed to cater to the diversity of the hybrid nanofluid properties, which contains oxide and metal nanoparticles, for example, Cu and Al2O3 immersed in water (H2O) and Ethylene glycol (EG) as the base liquid. The substructure for hybrid nanofluid abides by the mixture of 20% water while the rest is filled with EG. Moreover, the perception of entropy is analyzed. The dimensional form of the current problem is deformed into a non-dimensional form using the appropriate choice of similarity transformation. Thence, the Runge–Kutta-Fehlberg method is being used to treat the numerical solution for the problem. The graphs spectacle the entropy, Bejan numbers, and physical behavior of the contributing factors to the flow phenomena. The numerical results of the rate coefficients for these parameters are shown in the table below. Furthermore, a comparison analysis is conducted to confirm the current result with prior work demonstrating a higher degree of concordance.
