Abstract

Background: Study of nanofluids has been enormously increased for the last couple of years. Regardless of some irregularity in the revealed outcomes and lacking consistency, yet the mechanisms of heat transport have been emerged as highly efficient. In the continuation of nanomaterials research, the investigators and analyst have also attempted to utilize hybrid nanomaterial recently, which is designed by suspending unique nanomaterials (nanoparticles) either in mixture or composite structure. The theory of hybrid nanofluids can be further modified for heat transport and pressure drop attributes by trade-off between disadvantages and advantages of individual suspension, ascribed to great aspect ratio, better thermal system and synergistic impact of nanomaterials. Therefore, we have conducted a theoretical attempt on MHD entropy optimized viscous hybrid nanomaterial flow between two parallel plates. The boundaries of plates are fixed with velocity and thermal slip aspects. Chemical reaction with novel aspect of activation energy is accounted. Furthermore, thermal radiation, heat generation and Joule heating are examined. Method: The modeled system is numerically simulated through bvp4c technique. Results: Behaviors of pertinent variables on the velocity, skin friction, temperature, Nusselt number, entropy generation rate and concentration are presented and discussed through different graphs. Temperature field decays against higher values of Eckert number and thermal slip variable. Conclusions: It is noticed that velocity of material particles increase against larger estimations of rotation parameter. Temperature declines versus larger Prandtl and Eckert numbers. Concentration decays when an enhancement is occurred in the Lewis number. Magnitude of surface drag force upsurges for rising values of Prandtl number and radiation parameter. Furthermore, magnitude of Nusselt number enhances through larger Eckert number, magnetic number and Prandtl number.
