The current investigation deals with entropy analysis for radiative flow of nanomaterials between two heated rotating disks. Titanium ( and ) and Graphene oxides are taken as nanoparticles. Water () is used as a conventional base liquid. Dissipation and radiation effects are incorporated in energy equation. Rotating disks have different angular velocities. Both disks have different stretching rates. Attention is focused for statistical declaration and probable error. Physical feature of entropy analysis is studied through thermodynamics second law. Nonlinear partial system (PDEs) is reduced to ordinary one (ODEs). Homotopy analysis technique (HAM) is used for convergent series solution. Features of sundry variables on entropy optimization, temperature, Bejan number, and velocity are discussed for both nanoparticles ( and ). Computational outcomes for velocity gradient and Nusselt number are addressed through tabulated values. For larger Reynold number the radial and axial velocities are decreased. Temperature is augmented for against higher Eckert number and radiation parameter. Bejan number and entropy rate are augmented versus radiation parameter. Bejan number and Entropy rate have opposite trend via Reynold number. Statistical declaration and probable error are deliberated via Tables.
Nanoliquids are integrated through engineered colloidal suspended nano-size solid (1–100 nm) particles in base liquid (water, ethylene glycol, and oil). Nanomaterials have potential applications in industry, medicine, engineering and heat transfer technology. The commonly utilized nanoparticles consist of metals/CNTs, titania, stably suspended oxides, silica improvised thermo physical characteristics of base fluids. Obviously solid has more thermal conductivity in comparison to fluid. Transport rate of nanoparticles can develop augmentation of thermal conductivities. Due to this peculiarity characteristic the nanomaterials have wide range applications in microelectronics, nuclear plants, chemical engineering process, medical instruments, solar collectors, fabrication of medicines heat exchangers, and discourse of cancer and heat pipes. Titanium dioxide nanoparticles are similar to perfect semiconductors for photocatalysis. Titanium dioxide have cheaper coast, much safer and with high accuracy. Choi and Estman1 initiated the concept of nanomaterials. According to his study, addition of tiny particles into base liquid result in nanomaterial. Zangooee et al.2 investigated the hydromagnetic nanoparticles flow between two rotating disks. Joule heating and radiation in energy equation are accounted. Ghadikolaei et al.3 studied Carreau nanofluid by considering of ethylene glycol. Rotating cone and non-linear thermal radiation are taken. Ijaz Khan et al.4 discussed entropy analysis in hydromagnetic nanomaterials flow with homogeneous and heterogeneous reactions. The nanomaterials with are taken. Madaki et al.5 studied unsteady squeezing nanofluid flow between two parallel plates. Heat generation/absorption and thermal radiation are present. Ganesh Kumar et al.6 explored hydromagnetic in nanomaterials fluid flow through convergent/divergent channel. Here Joule heating and Darcy-Forchheimer effects are examined. Thermal and entropy analyses for radiative flow of nanomaterials with melting effect in flow by a stretching surface is illustrated by Khan et al.7 Heat transfer analysis in hydromagnetic flow of hybrid (Ag) nanomaterials past a slender cylinder is studied by Patil and Kulkarni.8 Khan et al.9 reported thermal analysis for time-dependent flow of hybrid nanomaterial over a stretching sheet. Some recent studies regarding this topic are mentioned in Refs.10–25
Recently many studies have been made about the applications and irreversibilities rates of the second law of thermo-dynamics. In heat energy, the concept of irreversibility is very frequently used due to the measure of irreversibilities of heat policy. Many researchers have made contributions. Irreversibility is key feature of physical action in nature. Initially Bejan26,27 described the concept of irreversibilty analysis in convective flow with heat transfer problems. Mliki and Abbassi28 studied hydromagnetic flow hybrid nanomaterials with entropy analysis in an incinerator shaped cavity. Numerical outcomes of heat transfer analysis in hybrid (silver-water) nanoliquid with entropy rate in an annulus fin are investigated by Shahsavar et al.29 Few studies about entropy optimization have been discussed by Refs.30–40
This investigation examines flow of Titanium oxide and Graphene oxide nanoparticles base fluid flow with irreversibility. Heat transfer associated to viscous dissipation and thermal radiation is examined. Attempt is focused to statistical declaration and probable error. Computations for entropy rate are presented. Skin friction coefficient and Nusselt number for both disks (upper and lower) are computed with probable error and statistical declaration. Homotopic procedure41–45 is adopted for the computations. Comparative studies are also presented through Table 4. The key findings of influential parameters are summarized.

Figures 4–10 represented the impact of axial velocity radial velocity , and tangential velocity with respect to various influential variables. Figures 4 and 5 accomplish features of on axial and radial velocity It is noted from Figure 4 that axial velocity is an increasing function of lower disk stretched parameter . Radial velocity with respect to is shown in Figure 5. Initially upsurges for higher and then it decreases when approaches to maximum range. Figures 6 and 7 are portrayed for the salient features of on axial and radial . Clearly the axial velocity decays versus larger . Physically the viscosity increases versus higher and consequently axial velocity decays (see Figure 6). Dual behavior of versus higher is guaranteed in Figure 7. Physically, at lower disk the viscosity is increase at the surface and this factor slowly decrease when the fluid goes to the upper disk surface. In Figure 8 we have noticed that the higher value of variable in result axial velocity decline while in Figure 9 radial velocity has dual behave present.
