Description
Summary:Flow over rotating spheres has serious applications in fiber coating, rotating machinery design and parts, and projectile missions. Therefore, the current study investigates the flow and entropy generation of a radiative magneto-hybrid nanofluid flow over rotating sphere. Further, the temperature-sensorial water properties in studying water-based nanofluids are ignored, though this erratic behavior of water characteristics influences the physical characteristics of the corresponding hybrid nanofluid. Hence the current framework is one of the foremost projects to introduce the variable nature of water properties in the water-hosted hybrid nanofluid flow analysis. The investigation is accomplished in the account of the modified Buongiorno model (MBM). The flow separation in this kind of flow geometry is controlled by using non-erratic slot-mass transfer. The mathematical representations of the physical principles of the flow are solved using (i) congenial transformation (ii) quasilinearization (iii) methods of finite differences to form a block matrix system, and (iv) Varga’s iterative algorithm. Some of the major outcomes are: The flow separation can be significantly delayed using slot suctions, precisely appointing them downstream with higher strengths; heat transport performance drastically subsidies for high viscous dissipation (Ec), entropy produces at higher rate for viscous heating (Br) and high angular speed (Ω).
