Statistical and entropy optimization modeling for radiative hybrid nanofluid flow with Hall effect over exponential stretching/shrinking plate

Abstract

Scientists have become intrigued by the capacity of two solid components to dissolve in a conventional fluid to enhance the thermal efficiency of novel hybrid nanofluids. The Bejan number and entropy formation of three-dimensional hybrid Al2O3 − Cu/H2O nanoparticles flowing via a stretching/shrinking bidirectional exponential plate are investigated in this research while taking into account thermal radiation and the Hall Effect. In the heat equation, the Joule heating and Cattaneo-Christov heat flux model are contemplated. Through using proper similarity transformations, equations involving momentum and heat transfer are simplified into ordinary differential equations. The Homotopy analysis approach is used to solve these equations using the computer software MATHEMATICA. By resolving the flow limitations on temperature and velocity, the entropy production is computed. Using graphical demonstration, the impact of various parameters such as suction/injection parameter, Brinkman number, magnetic parameter, stretching/shrinking parameter, temperature ratio parameter on flow, thermal relaxation parameter, temperature exponent parameter, Hall effect parameter, on velocity, temperature, entropy production, and Bejan number has been thoroughly discussed. The local Nusselt number and skin friction can also be identified for practical reasons for various approximations of physical parameters. The outcomes specify that the tangential velocity and redial velocity decrease for greater values of injection and suction parameters. The temperature profile falls for larger values of the suction parameter and rises for greater values of the thermal relaxation parameter and injection parameter. Entropy production develops when the magnetic parameter is improved. Bejan number was reduced in response to rising magnetic parameter values.
