Entropy generation analysis for variable viscous couple stress fluid flow through a channel with non-uniform wall temperature

This article addresses the influence of couple stresses in minimizing of entropy generation rate associated with heat transfer irreversibility in the steady flow of a variable viscous fluid through a channel with a non-uniform wall temperature. The flow is induced by a constant axial pressure gradie...
