Abstract

Abstract : Mixed convection is a mechanism of heat transport in a thermodynamic system in which the motion of fluid particles is produced by gravity as well as external forces like fans, pumps, or any other devices. Such type of heat transport has a fruitful application in daily life due to reliable maintenance. In this regard, numerous researchers and analyst have focused on the importance of mixed convective flow to explore its different aspects, and frequent research articles are published in this area. In this work, mixed convective entropy optimized nanomaterial magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) flow of Ree‐Eyring fluid is discussed between two rotating disks. The effects of porosity and velocity slip are considered. Both the disks are rotating with different angular frequency and stretching rates. Modeling is performed for the energy equation subject to heat generation/absorption, dissipation, radiative heat flux, and Joule heating. Four types of irreversibilities are discussed, and total entropy rate is calculated. The obtained results are compared with past studies and found good agreement with them. The physical curiosity like skin friction and Sherwood and Nusselt numbers are numerically calculated. Series solutions are computed via homotopy method. Our obtained outcomes show that the velocity and temperature fields show contrast behavior against larger magnetic parameter. It is also noticed that the entropy rate and Bejan number have opposite behaviors against higher values of Weissenberg number. The entropy rate increases for higher Weissenberg number while Bejan number decays.
