Abstract

The main emphasis of this study is to examine the entropy generation of the spatial-temporal state of Bingham visco-plastic nanofluid flow between parallel plates are solved numerically using adequate similarity solutions. Python with BVP solver is used to interpret the results of the adopted model. Heat and mass transfer rate with respect to yield stress was investigated. The results report that the entopy generation of nanofluids exploring single and multiwalled carbon nanotubes dims with the increasing local thermal Peclet number nearer the lower and upper plates. Researchers have established that entropy generation can be reduced by increasing Fourier’s number (Fe) in nanofluids containing single- and multi-walled carbon nanotubes. Additionally, these results show that the heat transfer rate from water base CNTs to upper plate increases with raising local thermal transfer Peclet number and Fourier number.
