Open Access Entropy Generation with Nonlinear Thermal Radiation in MHD Boundary Layer Flow Over a Permeable Shrinking/Stretching Sheet: Numerical Solution

Entropy generation with nonlinear thermal radiation in MHD boundary layer flow over a permeable shrinking/stretching sheet has been analyzed numerically. The governing equations of momentum and energy equation are simplified with the help of similarity transformation variables. The solution of highly nonlinear differential equations have been obtained with the help of Successive linearization method (SLM) and Chebyshev spectral collocation method. The influence of all the physical parameters are plotted for velocity profile, temperature profile and entropy generation number against Hartmann number, Prandtl number, radiation parameter, suction/injection parameter, stretching and shrinking parameter, Brinkman number and Reynolds number. Numerical comparison is also been checked with the existing published results.
