Taylor wavelet technique to analyze heat and mass transfer with second law consideration in a magnetized channel flow of Eyring–Powell fluid using Buongiorno model
摘要
This groundbreaking study divulges the mass and heat transfer behaviors of Eyring–Powell fluid flow in a nanofluid through a channel under the influence of a magnetic field. Buongiorno model is used to consider thermophoresis and Brownian motion effects on nanoparticle distribution, and the second law of thermodynamics is taken into account to examine the system’s irreversibility. The system of equations is reduced effectively to a system of ordinary differential equations and then the reduced equations are solved by applying the new mathematical approach, Taylor wavelet method. Thus, the obtained solutions are used to plot the graphs. The analysis indicates that for different values of Reynolds number, the velocity increases at the lower plate and decreases at the upper plate. In addition, rising the Eyring–Powell fluid parameter results in a decrease in entropy production and an increase in the Bejan number, which reflects increased system efficiency. In a variety of engineering applications, these findings provide insightful information for enhancing the effectiveness of fluid flow and thermal systems.
