Abstract

In the present study heat transfer and entropy generation analysis of boundary layer flow of an incompressible viscous fluid over hyperbolic stretching cylinder are taken into account. The governing nonlinear partial differential equations are normalized by using suitable transformations. The numerical results are obtained for the partial differential equations by a finite difference scheme known as Keller box method. The influence of emerging parameters namely curvature parameter and Prandtl number on velocity and temperature profiles, skin friction coefficient and the Nusselt number is presented through graphs. A comparison for the flat plate case is given and developed code is validated. It is seen that curvature parameter has dominant effect on the flow and heat transfer characteristics. The increment in the curvature of the hyperbolic stretching cylinder increases both the momentum and thermal boundary layers. Also skin friction coefficient at the surface of cylinder decreases but Nusselt number shows opposite results. Temperature distribution is decreasing by increasing Prandtl number. Moreover, the effects of different physical parameters on entropy generation number and Bejan number are shown graphically.

1. Introduction

The boundary layer flow and heat transfer with stretching boundaries received remarkable attention in modern industrial and engineering practice. The attributes of end product are greatly reliant on stretching and rate of heat transfer at final stage of processing. Due to this real-world importance, interest developed among scientists and engineers to comprehend this phenomenon. Common examples are the extrusion of metals into cooling liquids, food, plastic products, the reprocessing of material in the molten state under high temperature. During this phase of manufacturing process, the material passes into elongation (stretching) and a cooling process. Such types of processes are very handy in the production of plastic and metallic made apparatus, such as cutting hardware tools, electronic components in computers, rolling and annealing of copper wires. In many engineering and industrial applications, the cooling of a solid surface is a primary tool for minimizing the boundary layer. Due to these useful and realistic impacts, the problem of cooling of solid moving surfaces has turned out to be an area of concern for scientists and engineers. Recently researchers have shown deep interest in analyzing the characteristics of flow and heat transfer over stretching surfaces. In this context, analysis of flow and heat transfer phenomena over a stretching cylinder has its own importance in processes such as fiber and wire drawing, hot rolling. Based on these applications, the boundary layer flow and heat transfer due to a stretching cylinder was initially studied by Wang [1]. He extended the work of Crane [2] to study the flow of heat transfer analysis of a viscous fluid due to stretching hollow cylinder. During last few years many researchers gave attention to analyze the fluid flow and heat transfer over the stretching cylinder and found the similarity solutions. Nazar et al. [3], [4] and [5] produced numerical solution of laminar boundary layer flow, uniform suction blowing and MHD effects over stretching cylinder in an ambient fluid. After that a lot of research problems have been done on the analysis of flow and heat transfer over stretching cylinder. Mukhopadhyay [6], [7], [8] and [9] considered chemical solute transfer, mixed convection in porous medium, and MHD slip flow along a stretching cylinder. Effect of magnetic field over horizontal stretching cylinder in the presence of source/sink with suction/injection is studied by Elbashbeshy [10]. Fang and Yao [11], Vajravelu et al. [12], Munawar et al. [13] and [14], Wang [15], Lok et al. [16], Abbas et al. [17], and Butt and Ali [18] have considered viscous swirling flow, axisymmetric MHD flow, unsteady vacillating flow, natural convection flow, axisymmetric mixed connection stagnation point flow, radiation effects in porous medium and entropy analysis of magnetohydrodynamics flow over stretching cylinder, respectively. More recently, Majeed et al. [19] applied Chebyshev Spectral Newton Iterative Scheme (CSNIS) and studied the heat transfer influence by velocity slip and prescribed heat flux over a stretching cylinder. Sheikholeslami [20] has calculated the effective thermal conductivity and viscosity of the nanofluid by Koo–Kleinstreuer–Li (KKL) model and provided the nanofluid heat transfer analysis over cylinder. Javed et al. [21] discussed the combined effects of MHD and radiation on natural convection flow over horizontal cylinder. Hajmohammadi et al. [22] considered flow and heat transfer of Cu-water and Ag-water nanofluid over permeable surface with convective boundary conditions. Their main focus was to discuss the effects of nano-particles volume fraction, and non-dimensional permeability parameter on skin friction and convection heat transfer coefficient. Dhanai et al. [23] investigated mixed convection nanofluid flow over inclined cylinder. They utilized Buongiorno’s model of nanofluid and found dual solutions with the velocity and thermal slip effects in the presence of MHD.

Aforementioned studies reveal that vast literature is present on study of linearly stretching cylinder but to the best of our knowledge, the problem over a cylinder with hyperbolic stretching velocity and entropy generation has not been addressed yet. The governing equations related to flow problem solved numerically and the effects of involving parameters on flow behavior are shown graphically. Entropy generation is the quantification of thermodynamics irreversibility and it exists in all types of heat transfer phenomenon. Due to this fundamental importance the present work is optimized with the inclusion of entropy generation analysis. In this context the studies [24], [25], [26], [27], [28], [29] and [30] are quite useful to explore many aspects of entropy generation which have not been taken into account yet.

3. Solution methodology

To solve nonlinear system of partial differential Eqs. (9) and (10) subject to the set of boundary conditions (11), we employed a very accurate and efficient implicit finite difference method commonly known as Keller box which is explained in detail in the book of Cebeci and Bradshaw [32]. In present problem, the solution is obtained through following steps.

  • Step-1: Eqs. (9) and (10) are written in terms of first order differential equations. Then functions and derivatives are replaced by central difference form in both coordinate directions. This results in a set of nonlinear difference equations for the number of unknown equal to the number of difference equations.
  • Step-2: obtained nonlinear difference equations are then linearized by using Newton’s quasi-linearization technique.
  • Step-3: and are solved using block tri-diagonal algorithm.

4. Result and discussion

An inspection of the governing partial differential equations indicates the presence of two emerging parameters: (a) the curvature parameter Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://test.scipedia.com:8081/localhost/v1/":): {\textstyle K} , (b) and the Prandtl number Pr.

The effects of these parameters are discussed in the forthcoming figures. In Figure 2 and Figure 3, effects of curvature parameter Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://test.scipedia.com:8081/localhost/v1/":): {\textstyle K}

on velocity and temperature profile are plotted. It is observed that curvature has significant effects on velocity and temperature profiles. In Fig. 2 the trend for velocity profile is rapidly decreasing in the region (Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://test.scipedia.com:8081/localhost/v1/":): {\textstyle 0<\eta <0.42}

) and then increasing after Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://test.scipedia.com:8081/localhost/v1/":): {\textstyle \eta =0.42}

for increasing values of curvature parameter Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://test.scipedia.com:8081/localhost/v1/":): {\textstyle K}
and consequently as a result the boundary layer thickness increases with the increase in curvature of the cylinder. This behavior of the fluid velocity is due to the fact that curvature Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://test.scipedia.com:8081/localhost/v1/":): {\textstyle K}
and radius of cylinder have reciprocal relationship. In other words increase in Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://test.scipedia.com:8081/localhost/v1/":): {\textstyle K}
tends to decrease in radius of cylinder. In this way, due to lesser surface area of the cylinder, the increase in velocity gradient at the surface increases and consequently enhances the shear stress per unit area. Fig. 2 also depicts that an increase in the curvature of the cylinder leads to augment in boundary layer thickness, as compared to the flat plate case (Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://test.scipedia.com:8081/localhost/v1/":): {\textstyle K=0}

). In Fig. 3 the temperature profiles decrease near the surface of the cylinder as Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://test.scipedia.com:8081/localhost/v1/":): {\textstyle K}

increases, and afterward rise significantly and the thermal boundary-layer thickness increases. This variation of the temperature profile is due to the reason that as the curvature increases, the radius of cylinder reduces the surface area which is intact with the fluid also decreases. It is also important to mention that heat is transferred into the fluid in modes: conduction at the cylinder surface and convection for the region Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://test.scipedia.com:8081/localhost/v1/":): {\textstyle \eta >0}

. Now, as the area of surface of the cylinder decreases, a slender reduction in the temperature profile occurs close to the surface of the cylinder, since a smaller amount of heat energy is transferred from the surface to the fluid through conduction phenomena. On the other hand, the thermal boundary-layer thickness increases, because of the heat transport in the fluid due to enhanced convection process all around the cylinder, which is evident from Fig. 3. Fig. 4 is plotted to observe the consequence of curvature parameter Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://test.scipedia.com:8081/localhost/v1/":): {\textstyle K}

decreases. This is due to the reason that, for larger curvature of the cylinder, the velocity gradient at the surface becomes increased rapidly as compared to the flat plate (Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://test.scipedia.com:8081/localhost/v1/":): {\textstyle K=0}

also increases. In Figure 6 and Figure 7, it is observed that both velocity and temperature boundary layer thickness decrease by increasing the value of Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://test.scipedia.com:8081/localhost/v1/":): {\textstyle x}

. The effects of different values of Prandtl number Pr on temperature profile have been discussed in Fig. 8. It is observed that temperature is rapidly decreasing for increasing Pr and thermal boundary layer thickness decreases. It is obvious from the graph that fluids with low Prandtl number slow down the cooling process and fluids with high Prandtl number speed up the cooling process. The behavior of temperature profile shows that Prandtl number can be used to control the cooling process. This could be managed by using high Prandtl number fluids such as oils and lubricants. Fig. 9 shows that Nusselt number Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://test.scipedia.com:8081/localhost/v1/":): {\textstyle Nu\quad {Re}_x^{-1/2}}

increases along the surface of cylinder and with the increase of Pr. This is because of fact that by increasing the value of Pr thermal boundary layer decreases and heat transfer rate enhances. This finding also testify the results shown in  Fig. 8.

6. Concluding remarks

A study is performed to investigate the flow and heat transfer characteristics over a nonlinear stretching cylinder. The nonlinear stretching velocity is considered as hyperbolic function. An analysis of entropy generation is also presented and results are computed numerically with Keller box method. From above study it is observed that:

  • Increase in the values of curvature parameter Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://test.scipedia.com:8081/localhost/v1/":): {\textstyle K}
leads to increase in velocity and temperature distribution.
  • skin-friction coefficient reduces and Nusselt number enhances with an increase in curvature parameter Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://test.scipedia.com:8081/localhost/v1/":): {\textstyle K}

.

  • The temperature reduces and Nusselt number enhances by increasing Prandtl number Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://test.scipedia.com:8081/localhost/v1/":): {\textstyle Pr}

.

  • Increasing trend of curvature parameter, Prandtl number and group parameter results in enhancement of entropy generation.
