- Abstract
The non-Newtonian characteristic of the fluid flow phenomena has several applications in industries and the production of engineering gadgets. Based upon the role, the present work deals with the flow of Williamson nanofluid past two inclined parallel sheets. Further, the influence of radiating heat due to thermal radiation, Ohmic heating because of the magnetization, and inclined angle on Williamson fluid are presented, which are vital for the heat transfer enhancement. The proposed study became novel due to the scrutiny of entropy for the irreversibility processes within the system that is obtained due to heat transfer. The designed model with dimensional form is developed by converting to dimensionless forms with the help of similarity transformations. The finalized transformed equations are handled analytically using the Homotopy perturbation method (HPM). Heat irreversibility is calculated by inserting the observed values into entropy generation and Bejan number. The suggested method of solution for the momentum profile is verified by comparing it to a previously published numerical result in some limited circumstances, and great agreement is found. The result reveals that the entropy generation is enhanced near the upper wall of the channel for the magnetized particle but thermal radiation attenuates it, however, the fluid temperature boosts up for the enhanced coupling constraint i.e. for the existence of Eckert number.
