Entropy generation of graphene-platinum hybrid nanofluid flow through a wavy cylindrical microchannel solar receiver by using neural networks

Raouf Khosravi et al.

Summary: This study analyzes the performance of graphene-platinum/water hybrid nanofluid flow in a cylindrical microchannel heat sink using the second law of thermodynamics. Increasing factors such as wave amplitude, nanoparticle concentration, and Reynolds number leads to a decrease in thermal entropy generation rate while frictional entropy increases. The Bejan number was found to be greater than 0.98 in all cases, indicating that irreversibility mainly results from thermal entropy generation. Evidently, increasing input variables reduces the thermal entropy generation rate. Additionally, an artificial neural network model was developed to predict entropy generation based on factors like wave amplitude, nanofluid concentration, and Reynolds number.
