Abstract
Here entropy optimized magnetohydrodynamic flow of second-grade fluid is addressed. The energy equation is developed through Joule heating and dissipation effects. Mass transportation along with an interface between two liquids due to surface tension gradient is called Gibbs–Marangoni effect (Marangoni effect). On the other hand, if there is thermal dependence case, then the phenomenon is called Bénard–Marangoni convection (thermo-capillary convection). Marangoni convection depends upon the difference of surface pressure computed by the gradient of temperature, magnetic effect, and concentration gradients. The basic concept of mass and heat transportation phenomenon in Marangoni boundary layer flow are comprehensively discussed. The physical feature of irreversibility exploration is developed with the help of thermodynamics second law. Here we discussed both first and second laws of thermodynamics. Nonlinear ODE's are obtained through adequate variables. Optimal homotopy analysis method (OHAM) is employed to construct the convergent solutions. Entropy optimization, temperature, Bejan number, concentration, and velocity variations for various secondary parameters are deliberated. Velocity enhances via the Marangoni ratio parameter. For larger Hartmann number the temperature and velocity have a reverse effect. The velocity field is amplifying against second grade fluid variable. A similar effect is noticed versus a larger fluid parameter and Eckert number. For a higher approximation of the Marangoni ratio variable, the concentration reduces. Larger fluid parameter rises the entropy generation rate.
