A mathematical model for entropy generation in a Powell-Eyring nanofluid flow in a porous channel

The continuous generation of entropy leads to exergy destruction which reduces the performance of a physical system. Hence, entropy minimization becomes necessary. New applications of nanofluids due to their enhanced thermo-physical properties has spurred new studies into the heat transfer and entro...
