- Description
- The heat transport and non-Newtonian fluid (Williamson fluid) flow through a micro-channel are considered to analyze the entropy generation minimization using the thermodynamic second law. The energy equations have been modeled with the addition of joule heating, heat source, and thermal radiation. The use of suitable dimensionless transformation helps to convert the modeled flow equations into non-dimensional coupled ODEs. The numerical simulations are done via the Finite Element Method. The current outcomes are constructed to examine the behavior of various flow parameters and presented via graphs. It is found that the rise of heat source and Reynolds number Re decays/boosts the entropy rate Ns and the Bejan number Be profile near the left/right plate, and reverse behavior is noticed for the thermal radiation parameter. 2022 Informa UK Limited, trading as Taylor & Francis Group.
