Abstract
An investigation of an axisymmetric mixed convective boundary layer flow of silver-titanium dioxide/water ( A g - T i O 2 / H 2 O ) hybrid nanofluid towards vertically and rotating stretching cylinder with entropy generation is conducted. The Cattaneo-Christov theory and joule heating effect are used to analyze the features of thermal energy. Moreover, the magnetic impact and convective boundary conditions on the vertical surface also considered in the current investigation. The developing equations for momentum, energy and entropy generation are modelled and by the usage of similarity variables to transform into the system of nonlinear ordinary differential equations (ODEs). The solutions of nonlinear ODEs are obtained numerically with the assistance of BVP4C MATLAB built-in scheme. The graphical consequences and relevant physical reasoning regarding the velocity, temperature, and concentration profiles are discussed. It is noteworthy that strong estimation of buoyancy ratio and mixed convection parameter enhances axial velocity, but the swirl velocity is diminished. The fluid temperature and concentration both are diminished due to thermal and solutal stratification effects. It is also seen that thermal Biot and Eckert numbers enhance the temperature distribution. Further, the Reynold number improves entropy generation.
