【 摘 要 】

The current article presents the entropy formation and heat transfer of the steady Prandtl-Eyring nanofluids (P-ENF). Heat transfer and flow of P-ENF are analyzed when nanofluid is passed to the hot and slippery surface. The study also investigates the effects of radiative heat flux, variable thermal conductivity, the material’s porosity, and the morphologies of nano-solid particles. Flow equations are defined utilizing partial differential equations (PDEs). Necessary transformations are employed to convert the formulae into ordinary differential equations. The implicit finite difference method (I-FDM) is used to find approximate solutions to ordinary differential equations. Two types of nano-solid particles, aluminium oxide (Al₂O₃) and copper (Cu), are examined using engine oil (EO) as working fluid. Graphical plots are used to depict the crucial outcomes regarding drag force, entropy measurement, temperature, Nusselt number, and flow. According to the study, there is a solid and aggressive increase in the heat transfer rate of P-ENF Cu-EO than Al₂O₃-EO. An increment in the size of nanoparticles resulted in enhancing the entropy of the model. The Prandtl-Eyring parameter and modified radiative flow show the same impact on the radiative field.
