Title NUMERICAL STUDY OF ENTROPY GENERATION EFFECT IN Al2O3 / METHANOL NANOFLUID FLOW OVER A SWIRLING DISK

Author(s) Mehwish Razeeq

Abstract This thesis presents a comprehensive numerical study for the effects of entropy generation on the flow of an Al2O3/Methanol nanofluid over a Swirling disk. The primary focus is to analyse the steady-state, incompressible flow characteristics and heat transfer dynamics of the nanofluid. The governing equations, which were originally expressed as partial differential equations (PDEs), are transformed into a set of nonlinear ordinary differential equations (ODEs) through similarity transformations. These transformed equations are then solved by using MATLAB’s bvp-4c solver. The results are presented through graphs and tables, providing insights into the influence of these parameters on entropy generation and thermal conductivity. This study contributes to the understanding of nanofluid behaviors in rotating systems, offering potential applications in engineering and industrial processes.
