Abstract
In this study, we consider a steady-state viscous,laminar Carreau ternary-hybrid nanofluid flow over a stretching sheet with first-order slip and Ohmic dissipation.Further, we consider the effects of suction/injection, oblique Lorentz force, and a temperature jump boundary condition. We investigate here how to transport a Carreau ternary hybrid nano-fluid while minimizing the entropy it generates. We analyze in this article the flow of molybdenum disulfide (MoS2), silver (Ag), and multi-wall carbon nanotubes (MWCNT). Carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC-water) is the observed fluid of choice. Several industries could benefit from this research, including those dealing with the equations of the model are converted to a dimensionless form by appropriate similarity transformations. Using a shooting strategy with Runge-Kutta-Fehlberg and Secant methods the velocity and the temperature fields are obtained. The physical quantities such as the fluid flow rate, the temperature, the skin friction, the Nusselt number, the entropy minimization, and the Bejan number are presented graphically and analyzed. In our Carreau ternary hybrid nanofluid model it is found that an increase in the Weissenberg number is to decrease the velocity field. We also noticed a significant effect of the Brinkmann number which has a deleterious effect on the entropy-minimization and Bejan-number profiles.
