Modeling and computational framework of radiative hybrid nanofluid configured by a stretching surface subject to entropy generation: Using Keller box scheme

This study examines the characteristics of the velocity, thermal field and entropy profiles for hybrid nanofluid flow passing through a starching sheet with thermal radiation. The carbon nanotube (SWCNT and MWCNT) are used as a nanoparticles with Cattaneo-Christov (C[sbnd]C) heat flux. Ethylene glycol is utilized as a base fluid in this case. To achieve an improved solution, the fluid flow over the geometric properties is designed using highly non-linear PDEs, and the governing equations must be converted into dimensionless non-similar equation systems using the highly efficient well-known Keller-box scheme in computational software MATLAB. The practical feasibility of these solutions is determined by the range of the controlling parameters. The velocity distribution reduces as the magnetic parameter estimate increases, however, the temperature field and entropy production increase as the magnetic parameter fluctuation esclates. As the slip parameter is increased, the velocity field diminish. The thermal field is enhanced for rising the radiation parameter, and the entropy profile is boosted for increasing Brinkman parameter values. The findings of this research might have a significant impact on industries where local cooling and heating via impingement jets are needed in electronic devices, heat sinks, drying technologies, and so on. To the best of the authors' knowledge, this is the first effort to employ a hybrid nanofluid to analyze entropy formation due to magnetohydrodynamics flow over a starching sheet.
