Abstract

Magnetohydrodynamic flow of nanomaterial by a stretched boundary is addressed. Entropy generation is examined. Variable fluid characteristics are considered. Buongiorno thermal enhancement model in presence of Darcy-Forchheimer expression is addressed. Nonlinear thermal radiation, non-uniform heat source and dissipation are considered in thermal expression. Slip conditions in chemically reactive flow are addressed. Here Maxwell slip velocity and Smoluchowski slip temperature are under consideration. Impact of Arrhenius activation energy is deliberated. Optimal homotopy analysis approach (OHAM) is utilized for construction of convergent solutions. Graphical description for liquid motion, entropy rate, concentration and temperature are examined. Higher magnetic variable has reverse effect on entropy rate and velocity. Higher temperature and entropy rate are seen for radiation parameter. Higher temperature dependent conductivity parameter has opposite effect on liquid motion and entropy rate. Liquid flow has same impact for both porosity and velocity slip parameters. Larger thermal slip variable lead to decrease thermal distribution while reverse impact holds for heat source. Concentration has opposite trend through both random and thermophoresis parameters. An enhancement in thermal distribution and entropy rate are seen through variable thermal conductivity. An intensification in entropy rate has been noticed through concentration dependent conductivity variable. The considered configuration has relevance for detecting cooling towers, polymer extrusion, spinning of filaments, cable coating and metallurgical processes.
