Abstract

In current analysis, flow of magnetized nanofluids in porous curved stretchable surface with variable characteristics has been inspected by imposing the thermal radiation, and activation energy. The exothermic/endothermic reactive effect is included along with Buongiorno nanofluid model to investigate the thermal performance more extensively. The Lorentz force characteristics that cause the interaction of magnetic field with nanoliquid motion is further investigated. Additionally, production of entropy in the porous curved system because of irreversible process has been considered here. The modeled systems for considered model are firstly transformed into ODEs via appropriate variables and then computed by employing NDSolve technique using tool of Mathematica. Flow fields variation against relevant variables is inspected via tables and sketches. The key outcome of analysis is that, the entropy rate upsurges for higher local inertia parameter, radiation variable and Brinkman number.
