Abstract: Entropy Generation Optimization (EGO) attained huge interest of scientists and researchers due to its numerous applications comprised in mechanical engineering, air conditioners, heat engines, thermal machines, heat exchange, refrigerators, heat pumps and substance mixing etc. Therefore, the study of radiative hybrid nanofluid (GO-MoS2/C2H6O2–H2O) and the conventional nanofluid (MoS2/C2H6O2–H2O) is conducted in the presence of Lorentz forces. The flow configuration is modeled between the parallel rotating plates in which the lower plate is permeable. The models which govern the flow in rotating system are solved numerically over the domain of interest and furnished the results for the temperature, entropy generation and thermophysical characteristics of the hybrid as well as conventional nanofluids, respectively. It is examined that the thermal profile intensifies against stronger thermal radiations and magnetic field. The surface of the plate is heated due to the imposed thermal radiations and magnetic field which cause the increment in the temperature. It is also observed that the temperature declines against more rotating plates. Further, the entropy production increases for more dissipative effects and declines against more magnetized fluid. Thermal conductivities of the hybrid nanofluid enhances promptly in comparison with regular liquid therefore, under consideration hybrid nanofluid is reliable for the heat transfer. Moreover, dominating thermal transport is perceived for the hybrid nanofluid which showed that hybrid suspension GO-MoS2/C2H6O2–H2O is better for industrial, engineering and technological uses.

The analysis of heat transfer is a topic of interest due to its variety of applications comprised in various industries and engineering. The remarkable applications of thermal transport are comprised in pharmaceutical, microelectronics, fuel cells, heat exchanger, home appliance and domestic refrigerator etc. To finish the production process of many industrial ingredients, a huge amount of heat is required. The conventional liquids like kerosene oil, engine oil, ethylene glycol EG and water are less heat transfer fluids which fail to provide the considerable heat transfer. Therefore, researchers and engineers paved their attentions to overcome these major issues of daily life, industrialist and engineers. They thought that the heat transfer in regular liquids (mentioned above) can be enhanced by adding an extra nanomaterial known as nanoparticles in the host liquid. Finally, a new class of heat transfer fluids was developed and termed as Nanofluid. Nanofluids are colloidal mixture of nanomaterial and host liquid in which both the host fluid and the nanomaterial are thermally in equilibrium. These fluids overcome the issues faced by the engineers and industrialist. Despite that nanofluids have an extra heat transfer characteristics, scientists and engineers thought that a new hybrid class of fluids could be developed and focused on a new type of fluids which has remarkable heat transfer properties as compared to that of regular liquids and nanofluids, respectively. This newly developed class is termed as Hybrid Nanofluid. These fluids are the coupling of hybrid nanoparticles in the base liquid or hybrid base liquid. The development of this newly developed heat transfer fluids almost covers the issues of the industrialist.
Hybrid nanofluids are colloidal suspension of the hybrid nanomaterials into the host liquids. Thermal conductance of the hybrid nanomaterials is high in comparison with conventional nanomaterials. Due to high thermal conductance, hybrid nanofluids are superior over the conventional nanoliquids. Therefore, the hybrid nanoliquids are extensively used in various industries where a large amount of heat transfer is required to accomplish the production processes. The applications of these fluids comprised in medical sciences, chemical engineering, biotechnology, computer chips, coatings, catalytic purposes, civil engineering, flow characteristics of the fluids in various geometries and coatings of the vehicles and in cancer therapy.
Hybrid nanofluids became very popular among the researchers, engineers and industrialist due to their better heat transfer characteristics. Therefore, researchers examined the influences of hybrid nanofluids in the flow regimes, heat transfer rate and local nusselt number in different geometries by considering different flow conditions at the boundaries and far away from the surface. In 2019, Ahmed et al. [1] examined the flow of water suspended by hybrid nanoparticles of Ag–Fe3O4 between Riga plates. In ordered to discuss more physical aspects of the flow regimes, they incorporated the influences of nonlinear thermal radiations and chemical reaction phenomenon in the energy and concentration constitutive relations, respectively. Das et al. [2] considered Cu–Al2O3/H2O hybrid nanofluid in the porous channel. Also, they encountered second law analysis and found the interesting results.
The second law analysis in the hybrid nanofluid composed by graphene and ferromagnetic nanoparticles was presented in [3]. They explored the results for thermal enhancement in the hybrid nanofluid by incorporating the magnetic field effects in the energy equation. The remarkable influences of magnetic field in the momentum and temperature of the hybrid nanofluid were examined. In 2018, Huminic et al. [4] discussed the heat transfer rate and entropy generation analysis in a flattened tube. To enhance the amount of heat transfer, they used the hybrid nanofluid and found fascinating results for entropy generation and heat transfer characteristics. In 2017, Hussain et al. [5] explored the mixed convection flow by considering the colloidal suspension of the host liquid suspended by the hybrid nanoparticles in a cavity placed horizontally. The fascinating results regarding to entropy generation and influences of magnetic field were discussed in their study. Three-dimensional squeezing flow of the hybrid liquid (water-EG) saturated by hybrid nanoparticles (Fe3O4–Ag) was presented in [6]. An effective thermal conductivity model based on various shape factors of the hybrid nanoparticles was emerged in the energy equation for better thermal enhancement. A comparative colloidal study of the nanofluid and hybrid nanofluid by considering the forced convection effects was reported in [7]. They treated the models numerically and found the results for the flow regimes and the heat transfer characteristics.
Thermal enhancement and entropy generation inspection between the parallel rotating plates situated in Cartesian frame is a topic of interest due to its multifarious applications in chemical and mechanical industries. In 2017, Ahmed et al. [8] reported the flow of chemically reacting fluid over an unsteady stretchable surface. They incorporated the influences of linear thermal radiations and cross diffusion gradients in the energy and concentration laws. They also examined the effects of convective condition in the heat transfer rate and reported the interesting results. A novel investigation of heat transfer analysis in water and EG saturated by
From the literature study, it is noted that entropy generation and temperature investigation in GO-MoS2/C2H6O2–H2O hybrid nanofluid between parallel rotating plates is not reported so far. Therefore, this study is makeup to fill this significant research gap. For improved temperature and entropy generation. Moreover, thermal radiations and magnetic field effects are plugged in the energy and momentum relations. The resultant hybrid model is then tackled by numerical scheme known as RK technique. The results for the velocity, temperature and entropy generation are plotted and discussed comprehensively and finally concluding remarks of the analysis are presented.

The study of second law in magneto radiative nanofluids is a potential topic of interest in fluid dynamics. It is the amount of entropy produced during irreversible process. The applications of this phenomena comprised in heat pumps, air conditioners, refrigerators, heat exchanges, thermal mechanics and mixing or expanding of substances.
The effects of numerous parameters on the entropy generation in GO-MoS2/C2H6O2–H2O and MoS2/C2H6O2–H2O are pointed in Figs. 6–12. It is perceived that the entropy declines for stronger induction of magnetic field. For GO-MoS2/C2H6O2–H2O abrupt decrement is perceived near the lower plate. These effects are decorated in Fig. 6. The rotational parameter
The behavior of entropy generation is detected for both under consideration hybrid and conventional nanofluids. It is pointed that the viscous dissipation allows the rise in entropy production because due to this, internal energy of the fluid enhances due to which the entropy increases. Moreover, it is examined that the entropy drops quickly when the upper plate moves towards the lower plate and slow decrement is perceived for away movement of the upper plate.

The colloidal flow of GO-MoS2/C2H6O2–H2O and MoS2/C2H6O2–H2O is presented between parallel rotating magneto radiative plates. From the temperature and entropy analysis, it is investigated that the temperature of the hybrid and conventional nanofluids rises against the stronger thermal radiations. However, significant changes are perceived in the hybrid nanofluid. The temperature drops due to rotating plates in both fluids. The entropy generation increases for more dissipation effects and drops against the imposed magnetic effects. Further, prompt increment in thermal conductivities of the nanofluids is observed. It is also perceived that the hybrid nanofluid has high thermal performance, therefore, these fluids are reliable for the industrial and engineering uses.
