Analysis of Entropy Generation in Hydromagnetic Micropolar Fluid Flow Over an Inclined ...

In this article, a numerical analysis is performed on entropy generation in a radiative and dissipative hydromagnetic micropolar fluid prompted by a nonlinear stretching sheet with impact of non-uniform heat source/sink, variable magnetic field strength, electrical conductivity and dynamic viscosity. The main dimensionless equations are computationally solved via shooting techniques in company with Runge-Kutta algorithms. The impact of the prominent controlling parameters are graphically checked on the velocity, temperature, microrotation, entropy generation and Bejan number. An excellent relationship exists between the results obtained in this study with related studies previously reported in literature in the limiting conditions. Moreso, the findings reveal that irreversibility due to heat transfer is dominant over viscous dissipation irreversibility as the radiation parameter advances while the trend changes with a rise in the material and Brikman number parameters.
