dc.description.abstractWe investigate the combined effects of buoyancy force and convective cooling on entropy generation in unsteady channel flow of water based nanofluids containing Copper (Cu) and Alumina (Al 2 O 3 ) as nanoparticles. Both first and second laws of thermodynamics are utilised to analyze the model problem. Using a semi discretization finite difference method together with Runge-Kutta Fehlberg integration scheme, the governing partial differential equations are solved numerically. Graphical results on the effects of parameter variation on velocity, temperature, skin friction, Nusselt number, entropy generation rate, irreversibility ratio and Bejan number are presented and discussed
