Entropy Generation on MHD Slip Flow Over a Stretching Cylinder with Heat Generation/Absorption

Abstract

In the present study, we have investigated entropy generation on a magnetohydrodynamic fluid flow and heat transfer over a stretching cylinder with a porous medium in slip flow regime. A uniform heat source and radiation is also considered. Similarity transformation has been applied for making an ordinary differential equation from nonlinear governing partial differential equations. The numerical solution for the set of nonlinear ordinary differential equations has been obtained by using the fourth-order Runge-Kutta scheme together with the shooting method. The effects of pertinent parameters such as the magnetic field parameter, permeability parameter, slip parameter, Prandtl number and radiation parameter on the fluid velocity distribution, temperature distribution, entropy generation and Bejan number are discussed graphically.
