Abstract
Background: Here we investigate the mixed convective unsteady magnetohydrodynamics chemically reactive flow of viscous liquid over a rotating cone. Energy attribution are deliberated in the presence of heat generation/absorption, viscous dissipation and Joule heating. Furthermore Irreversibility analysis with thermo-diffusion (Soret) effect and binary chemical reaction are also considered. Entropy optimization rate is computed with the help of thermodynamics second law.
Method: The partial differential expression are reduced to ordinary system by using the suitable transformation. Here we have employed Newton built in shooting technique to get computational results for proposed nonlinear system.
Results: Influences of different interesting parameters on entropy optimization, velocity, Bejan number, concentration and temperature are discussed through graphs. The computational results of skin friction coefficient, gradient of temperature and Sherwood number are examined against different flow parameters through tables. From obtained outcome it is noticed that velocity and temperature have opposite behaviors for magnetic parameter and unsteadiness parameter. Concentration shows the opposite effect for Soret number and unsteadiness parameter. Bejan number and entropy generation rate hold opposite via larger Brinkman number, while have similar impact of temperature difference parameters. The assertion of recent work is established by comparison with previous published literature are discussed in tabulated form and found an excellent agreement. (C) 2019 Elsevier B.V.
