Entropy generation analysis of three dimensional mixed convection flow of couple stress nanofluid with non-Fourier's heat and non-Fick's mass flux model.

The current study concentrated on the analysis of entropy generation in three dimensional mixed convection flow of couple stress nanofluid under the effect of high order velocity slip flow, passive and active control conditions. The problem advances more significance with the effect of non-Fourier's heat, and non-Fick's mass flux model to scrutinize the heat and mass transport rate. The high-order partial differential equations obtained from the designed problem are transmuted into higher order ordinary differential equations using similarity conversion and lastly solved by using bvp4c. Through this investigation how governing parameters have affected the flow problem were examined and offered in graphical and tabular form. It is discovered that the occurrence of couple stress inflow problem upsurges the velocity of the fluid and on the other hand it causes a reduction in the entropy production. Likewise, it is detected that temperature improves by snowballing the Hartman parameter. Moreover, the temperature and concentration disseminations are greater all for the situation of an active control while correlated with a case of passive control. Also, the same is true for numerical results of Nusselt number and Sherwood number that is due to an active control is greater than all for the case of passive control. Furthermore, this theoretical and numerical deliberation bears the potential to beneficial in the field of bio-fluid dynamics. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
