Entropy generation optimization in flows of nonlinear materials

Abstract

Some literature surveys about entropy generation (irreversibility), rotating disk, nanofluid, non- Newtonian fluid, radiative heat flux and magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) boundary layer flow have been reviewed in this chapter. Viscous and non-Newtonian fluids (Sisko fluid, Prandtl Eyring fluid) are mathematically modeled. Further, the basic concept of homotopy method and built-in-Shooting method are incorporated for the series solutions and numerical analysis respectively.
