Irreversibility analysis of melting rheology in micropolar Al2O3-mineral oil nanofluid flow with homogeneous and heterogeneous reactions
NUMERICAL HEAT TRANSFER PART A-APPLICATIONS(2024)
Abstract
Mineral Oil [MO] has significant importance because of its vast variety of applications in various arenas of manufacturing, technology, and industrial processes. The applications of the Mineral Oil [MO] are PVC production, polystyrene production, as a lubricating, cutting fluid, thermoplastics rubber production, glossing product, wood products, cleaning products, lamp oil, glues, toys, veterinary, cosmetics, food preparation, as a brake fluid in some cars, and so forth. Due to these applications of Mineral Oil [MO], in the existing work, the two-dimensional mixed convective flow of micropolar fluid with the applications of the aluminum oxide nanoparticles in a Mineral Oil [MO] base liquid is taken into consideration. The melting heat phenomenon is discussed for the interpretation of heat transmission. Further, the flow analysis is discussed through the impacts of inclined magnetic field, heat generation, Joule heating and thermal radiation. Mass diffusivity is deliberated through the implementation of homogenous and heterogeneous chemical reactions. Entropic behavior is analyzed for the discussion of irreversibility analysis. Suitable similarity transformations are employed to renovate modeled systems of the PDEs into ODEs. Analytical simulation of the proposed model has been accomplished with the utilization of the homotopy analysis technique. Some significant outcomes from the existing work are that the velocity outline is reduced but the energy curve is greater for the melting parameter. Nanofluid entropy generation is increased due to the improvement of the Brinkman parameter and material parameter. Heat transportation is augmented due to the amplification of the radiation parameter, and nanoparticle volume fraction. The present study is useful in different fields of industries, technological processes, mechanical processes, and electrical processes due to the applications of mineral oil.
