Abstract

Main emphasis of present work is to analyze the novel feature of entropy generation in MHD nanomaterial flow between two rotating disks. Heat transfer process is explored in the presence of Joule heating and thermal radiation. Tiwari–Das nanofluid model is employed in mathematical modeling. Aluminum oxide and copper water nanoparticles are accounted. Statistical declaration and probable error for problem accuracy are computed. Total entropy generation subject to Bejan number is scrutinized. Suitable variables are utilized to transform nonlinear PDEs to ordinary ones. Convergent series solutions are computed. Zeroth and mth order problems are discussed for stability analysis. The impact of physical flow variables like Reynolds number, magnetic parameter, porosity parameter, stretching parameter, rotational parameter, radiation parameter, Eckert number, suction injection parameter, Brinkman number and temperature ratio parameter on velocities, temperature, total entropy generation and Bejan number are examined and discussed through graphs. Velocity and thermal gradients at the surface of disks are computed.
