Chemical reaction effectiveness in non-Darcian nanofluid radiated flow considering entropy generation

Abstract

Purpose

The purpose of this study is to analyze the entropy generation in magnetohydrodynamics stagnation point mixed convection flow of Carreau nanofluid through porous medium.

Design/methodology/approach

The system is solved using the homotopy scheme.

Findings

Minimizing radiation, magnetic, permeability and temperature difference parameters responds to minimizing entropy production.

Originality/value

To the best of the authors’ knowledge, no such analysis has yet been reported.
