Sumario:In this study, we investigate what happens to entropy in the presence of electrokinetic phenomena. It is speculated that the microchannel has an asymmetrical and slanted configuration. The presence of fluid friction, mixed convection, Joule heating, presence and absence of homogeneity, and a magnetic field are modelled mathematically. It is also emphasized that the diffusion factors of the autocatalyst and the reactants are equal. The governing flow equations are linearized using the Debye–Huckel and lubrication assumptions. The resulting nonlinear couple differential equations are solved using the program’s integrated numerical solver, Mathematica. We take a graphical look at the results of homogeneous and heterogeneous reactions and talk about what we see. It has been demonstrated that homogeneous and heterogeneous reaction parameters affect concentration distribution [Formula: see text] in different ways. The Eyring–Powell fluid parameters [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] display an opposite relation with the velocity, temperature, entropy generation number, and Bejan number. The mass Grashof number, the Joule heating parameter, and the viscous dissipation parameter all contribute to the overall increase in fluid temperature and entropy.
