Analysis of entropy generation and nonlinear convection on unsteady flow of MHD Prandtl fluid with Soret and Dufour effects

Abstract

Here the assessment of entropy generation with Soret and Dufour impact in flow of MHD Prandtl fluid along an unsteady stretching surface has been measured. Nonlinear mixed convection and convective conditions for heat/mass transfer are imposed at the surface. The outcome of viscous dissipation and radiation is considered in heat transfer features. The obtained system of nonlinear PDEs is converted to ODEs by consuming dimensionless variables. Resulting systems are solved for the convergent solutions. Impacts of Prandtl fluid parameters, unsteadiness parameter, Soret and Dufour numbers, magnetic parameter, nonlinear thermal and concentration parameter, Prandtl number, radiation parameter, thermal and concentration Biot numbers, ratio of concentration to thermal buoyancy, Eckert number and Schmidt number are addressed. Skin friction coefficient, local Nusselt and Sherwood numbers are analyzed graphically.
