Entropy analysis of SWCNT & MWCNT flow induced by collecting beating of cilia with porous medium

Abstract

In this article, we considers the thermodynamics analysis of creeping viscous nanofluid flow in a horizontal ciliated tube under the effects of a uniform magnetic field and porous medium. Moreover, energy analysis is performed in the presence of an internal heat source and thermal radiation phenomena. The thermal conductivity of base fluid water is strengthened by considering the carbon nanotubes (CNTs). Mathematical formulation operated, results in a set of non-linear coupled partial differential equations. The governed differential system is transformed into an ordinary differential system by considering suitable similarity variables. Exact solutions in the closed form are computed for the temperature, momentum and pressure gradient profiles. In this study, special attention is devoted to the electrical conductivity of the CNTs. Streamlines patterns are also discussed to witness the flow lines for different parameters. Thermodynamics analysis shows that entropy of the current flow system is an increasing function of Brinkmann number, magnetic parameter, nanoparticle concentration parameter and Darcy number.
