Artificial intelligence applications based on soft computing and machine learning algorithms have recently become the focus of researchers’ attention due to their robustness, precise modeling, simulation, and efficient assessment. The presented work aims to provide an innovative application of Levenberg Marquardt Technique with Artificial Back Propagated Neural Networks (LMT-ABPNN) to examine the entropy generation in Marangoni convection Magnetohydrodynamic Second Grade Fluidic flow model (MHD-SGFM) with Joule heating and dissipation impact. The PDEs describing MHD-SGFM are reduced into ODEs by appropriate transformation. The dataset is determined through Homotopy Analysis Method by the variation of physical parameters for all scenarios of proposed LMT-ABPNN. The reference data samples for training/validation/testing processes are utilized as targets to determine the approximated solution of proposed LMT-ABPNN. The performance of LMT-ABPNN is validated by MSE based fitness, error histogram scrutiny, and regression analysis. Furthermore, the influence of pertinent parameters on temperature, concentration, velocity, entropy generation, and Bejan number is also deliberated. The study reveals that the larger β and Ma, the higher f′(η) while M has the reverse influence on f′(η). For higher values of β, M, Ma, and Ec, θ(η) boosts. The concentration ϕ(η) drops as Ma and Sc grow. An augmentation is noticed for NG for higher estimations of β,M, and Br. Larger β,M and Br decays the Bejan number.

Abstract This analysis presents the applications of entropy generation phenomenon in incompressible flow of Jeffrey nanofluid in presence of distinct thermal features. The novel aspects of various features like Joule heating, porous medium, dissipation features and radiative mechanism is addressed. In order to improve the thermal transportation systems based on nanomaterials, the convective boundary conditions are introduced. The thermal viscoelastic nanofluid model is expressed in term of differential equations. The problem is presented via nonlinear differential equations for which analytical expressions are obtained by using homotopy analysis method(HAM). The accuracy of solution is ensured. The effective outcomes of all physical parameters associated with the flow model are carefully examined and underlined through various curves. The observations summarized from current analysis reveal that presence of permeability parameter offers resistance to the flow. A monotonic decrement in local Nusselt number is noted with Hartmann number and Prandtl number. Moreover, entropy generation and Bejan number increases with radiation parameter and fluid parameter.

This study investigates entropy generation for the unsteady flow of a second-grade fluid over a uniformly heated vertical cylinder. The fluid viscosity is assumed to vary with temperature. The mathematical model of this problem is given by highly time-reliant nonlinear coupled equations and resolved by an efficient unconditionally stable implicit scheme. The time histories of average values of momentum and heat-transport coefficients, entropy-generation and Bejan number, and steady-state flow variables are discussed for several values of non-dimensional parameters arising in the flow equations. The results indicate that entropy-generation parameter and Bejan number increase with rising values of group parameter and Grashof number. The results also show that entropy-generation number declines with increasing viscoelastic parameter.

Stagnation point flow of viscoelastic second grade fluid over a stretching cylinder under the thermal slip and magnetic hydrodynamics effects are studied. The mathematical model has been developed under the assumption of non-Newtonian viscoelastic fluid flow over a stretching cylinder by means of the boundary layer approximations. The developed model further reduced through the similarity transformations and constructs the model of nonlinear ordinary differential equations. The system of nonlinear differential equations is dimensionless and solved through the numerical technique bvp5c methods. The results of the physical parameters are found and interpreted in the form of tables and graphs. The velocity shows that the graph of curves enhances away from the surface when the values material parameter [Formula: see text] increase, which means the momentum boundary layer increases for enhancing the material parameter [Formula: see text]. The temperature gradient reduced due enhancing the values of material parameter [Formula: see text] because thermal boundary layer reduced for higher values of material parameter [Formula: see text].

Entropy generation plays a significant role in several complex processes, extending from cosmology to biology. The entropy generation minimization procedure can be applied for the optimization of mechanical systems including heat exchangers, elements of nuclear and thermal power plants, ventilation and air-conditioning systems. In order to present our analysis, entropy generation in a thin film flow of second grade nanofluid holding single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) and multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) with a Cattaneo–Christov heat flux model is studied in this article. The flow is considered passing a linearly extending surface. A variable magnetic field with aligned angle ε is functioned along the extending sheet. With the aid of the homotopy analysis method (HAM), the fluid flow model is elucidated. The impressions of embedded factors on the flow are obtainable through figures and discussed in detail. It is observed that the velocity profile escalated with the increasing values of volume fraction of nanoparticles and second grade fluid parameter. The higher values of volume fraction of nanoparticles, second grade fluid parameter, non-linear heat source/sink, and thermal radiation parameter intensified the temperature profile. Surface drag force escalated with heightening values of nanoparticles volume fraction, unsteadiness, film thickness, magnetic, and second grade fluid parameters. Entropy generation increased with enhancing values of magnetic parameter, Brinkman number, and Reynolds number.

In the present paper, we have studied the effects of endoscope and heat transfer on the peristaltic flow of second grade fluid through an inclined tube. The endoscope is a solid circular cylinder which is inserted in a peristaltic tube, and the flow takes place through the gap between endoscope and the peristaltic tube. The endoscope is maintained at a temperature [Formula: see text], while the outer tube has a sinusoidal wave traveling down its wall and is exposed to temperature [Formula: see text]. The flow is investigated in a wave frame of reference moving with the velocity of the wave. The equations governing the flow of second grade fluid are modeled in cylindrical coordinates. Using perturbation method, the solutions are obtained for the stream function, pressure gradient and temperature fields. The pressure difference and frictional force at both the walls are calculated using numerical integration. The graphical results are presented to interpret the effect of various physical parameters of interest. It is found that, velocity increases with an increase in inclination angle and the best pumping rate appear in the vertical tube as compared to the horizontal tube. It is also found that, the heat generation parameter has an increasing effect on the velocity of the fluid.

The entropy generation analysis of a thermal process is capable of determining the efficiency of that process and is therefore helpful to optimize the thermal system operating under various conditions. There are several ingredients upon which the phenomenon of entropy generation can depend, such as the nature of flow and the fluid, the assumed conditions, and the material properties of the working fluid. However, the dependence of entropy generation phenomenon upon such properties has so far not been fully realized, in view of the existing literature. On the other hand, based upon the existing studies, it has been established that the non-uniform concentration of nanoparticles in the base fluid does cause to enhance the heat transfer rate. Therefore, it is logical to investigate the entropy production under the impact of non-homogenous distribution of nanoparticles. Based upon this fact the aim of current study is to explore a comprehensive detail about the influence of non-homogeneous nanoparticles concentration on entropy production phenomenon by considering a laminar viscous flow past a moving continuous flat plate. Non-uniform concentration is considered in the nanofluid modeling in which the Brownian and thermophoretic diffusions are considered which impart significant effects on velocity and temperature profiles. An exact self-similar solution to this problem is observed to be possible and is reported. The effects of various controlling physical parameters such as Brinkman number, Schmidt number, Prandtl number, diffusion parameter, and concentration parameter on both local as well as total entropy generation number and Bejan number are elaborated by several graphs and Tables. The obtained results reveal a significant impact of all aforementioned parameters on entropy generation characteristics. It is observed that by a 20% increase in nanoparticles concentration the total entropy generation is increased up to 67% for a set of fixed values of remaining parameters.

The appropriate utilization of entropy generation may provoke dipping losses in the available energy of nanofluid flow. The effects of chemical entropy generation in axisymmetric flow of Casson nanofluid between radiative stretching disks in the presence of thermal radiation, chemical reaction, and heat absorption/generation features have been mathematically modeled and simulated via interaction of slip boundary conditions. Shooting method has been employed to numerically solve dimensionless form of the governing equations, including expressions referring to entropy generation. The impacts of the physical parameters on fluid velocity components, temperature and concentration profiles, and entropy generation number are presented. Simulation results revealed that axial component of velocity decreases with variation of Casson fluid parameter. A declining variation in Bejan number was noticed with increment of Casson fluid constant. Moreover, a progressive variation in Bejan number resulted due to the impact of Prandtl number and stretching ratio constant.
