A new system of equations was developed using the Galerkin finite element scheme to investigate entropy generation in viscoelastic Sisko nanofluid over a cylinder, considering the presence of nanofluid and motile microorganisms, as well as magneto-hydrodynamic flow with an inclined magnetic field. The analysis included computation and scrutiny of various fluxes, with results indicating a decrease in entropy generation parameter and Bejan number with increasing microorganism concentration difference parameter. Streamlines, contour plots, and density plots were discussed in detail to explore the flow field's pertinent features.
A new system of equations is developed using Galerkin finite element scheme for the investigation of the generation of entropy in viscoelastic Sisko nanofluid over a cylinder. The analysis is performed in the existence of nanofluid and motile microorganisms. The magneto-hydrodynamic flow including the inclined magnetic field is considered. Fluxes for heat, mass, the concentration of nano-sized particles and concentration of swimming microorganisms are computed and scrutinized. Solutions are obtained in order to inspect the generation of entropy and Bejan number in addition to their contours. The outcomes exposed that the parameter of entropy generation and Bejan number both decrease with escalating microorganisms concentration difference parameter. Streamlines, contour plots and density plots are also discussed in detail to explore the pertinent features of the flow field.
