Entropy Generation in MHD Conjugate Flow with Wall Shear Stress over an Infinite Plate: Exact Analysis.

The current work will describe the entropy generation in an unsteady magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) flow with a combined influence of mass and heat transfer through a porous medium. It will consider the flow in the XY plane and the plate with isothermal and ramped wall temperature. The wall shear stress is also considered. The influences of different pertinent parameters on velocity, the Bejan number and on the total entropy generation number are reported graphically. Entropy generation in the fluid is controlled and reduced on the boundary by using wall shear stress. It is observed in this paper that by taking suitable values of pertinent parameters, the energy losses in the system can be minimized. These parameters are the Schmitt number, mass diffusion parameter, Prandtl number, Grashof number, magnetic parameter and modified Grashof number. These results will play an important role in the heat flow of uncertainty and must, therefore, be controlled and managed effectively.
