Entropy Generation Analysis of Hybrid Nanomaterial through Porous Space with Variable Characteristics

Salient features of hybrid nanofluid (MoS(2)-SiO(2)/water) for Darcy–Forchheimer–Brinkman porous space with variable characteristics is examined. Heat transfer analysis subject to viscous dissipation, nonlinear thermal radiation, and heat generation/absorption is carried out. Disturbance inflow is created by an exponentially stretching curved sheet. Relevant equations are simplified by employing boundary layer theory. Adequate transformations lead to a set of dimensionless equations. Velocity, temperature, and entropy generation rate are analyzed graphically. Comparative results are obtained for hybrid (MoS(2)-SiO(2)/water) and nanofluid (MoS(2)-water and SiO(2)-water). Physical quantities are analyzed through numerical data.
