Thermodynamics analysis of an MHD casson fluid flow through a rotating permeable channel with slip and hall effects

Eegunjobi Adetayo Samuel, Makinde Oluwole Daniel

Engineering Transactions

2020

Vol. 68, iss. 3

239--252

In this paper, the inherent irreversibility in a Casson fluid flow through a rotating permeable microchannel with wall slip and Hall current is investigated. It is assumed that the lower wall is subjected to the velocity slip and fluid injection while the fluid suction occurs at the upper wall. The nonlinear governing equations of momentum and energy balance are obtained, analyzed and solved numerically using the shooting technique together with the Runge-Kutta-Fehlberg integration method. Pertinent results depicting the effects of various embedded thermophysical parameters on the fluid velocity, temperature, skin friction, the Nusselt number, entropy generation rate and the Bejan number are presented graphically and discussed. It is found that the entropy generation rate is enhanced by fluid rotation and velocity slip but lessened with a rise magnetic field intensity. Our results will undoubtedly augment the design and efficient operation of micro-cooling devices, micro-heat exchangers, micropumps and micro-mixing technologies.

Entropy analysis of a variable viscosity MHD Couette flow Between two concentric pipes with convective cooling

Makinde Oluwole Daniel, Eegunjobi Adetayo Samuel

Engineering Transactions

Vol. 68, iss. 4

This paper addresses the combined effects of the magnetic field, thermal buoyancy force, viscous dissipation, Joule heating and temperature-dependent viscosity on the Couette flow of an incompressible conducting fluid between two concentric vertical pipes. It is assumed that convective cooling occurs at the surface of the outer moving pipe while the surface of the inner fixed pipe is maintained at a constant temperature. The nonlinear equations for momentum and energy are obtained and solved numerically using a shooting method coupled with the Runge-Kutta-Fehlberg integration procedure. Relevant results depicting the effects of embedded thermophysical parameters on the velocity and temperature profiles, skin friction, the Nusselt number, entropy generation rate and the Bejan number are presented graphically and discussed. It is found that an increase in the magnetic field intensity boosts the entropy generation rate while an increase in convective cooling lessens it.
