HARK formulation for entropy optimized convective flow beyond constant thermophysical properties

Background and objective: Ohmic heating has a pivotal role in food processing industry. For example, Ohmic heating in chocolate industry for cocoa beans shell is significant substrate for bioactive compounds recovery sustainability. In addition, the Soret and Dufour effects have importance in chemical and petroleum processes involving separation treatments, convective movements in lakes and solar ponds, solidification, humidity migration in building, drying processes, crystal growth and many others. In view of such applications here we discuss the hydromagnetic mixed convection flow with variable thermophysical properties. Formulation for Reiner-Rivlin material is made. Entropy generation in presence of dissipation, magnetohydrodynamics and radiation are discussed. Thermal relation consists of heat generation and dissipation. Soret and Dufour outcomes are under consideration. Ohmic heating is attended. Binary chemical reactive flow has been accounted. Convective conditions are implemented. Methodology: By utilization of appropriate variables, we get the ordinary differential equations. ND-solve method is implemented to provide computations. Results: Evaluation of different variables for flow, concentration, entropy rate and temperature are studied. Analysis of surface drag force and solutal and thermal transport rates via influential variables are examined. An augmentation in velocity is noted for variable viscosity and material parameters. Reverse effect holds for thermal field and flow with variation in magnetic variable. An intensification in thermal distribution and entropy is found through radiation and thermal Biot number. A reverse impact is observed for concentration through Schmidt and Soret numbers. Higher variable mass diffusivity parameter correspond to improves concentration and entropy rate. Brinkman number has increasing trend for entropy rate.
