The MHD flow and thermal analysis of water-based nanofluids with copper and aluminum oxide nanoparticles: An advenced fractional approach

Owing to improved thermal features, the hybrid nanomaterials present multidisciplinary applications in thermal systems, extrusion processes, solar energy, engineering processes, chemical reaction, etc. Following such impressive applications in mind, the aim of current work is to present the heat transfer analysis for free convective flow of hybrid nanofluid due to two parallel plates. The hybrid nanofluid is based on utilization of Cu and Al2O3 nanoparticles with water base fluid. The motivations for considering the Cu and Al2O3 nanoparticles are due to high thermal accuracy. The fractional simulations are performed with help of Prabhakar fractional technique. The Prabhakar fractional derivative is more effective as it provides more flexible and comprehensive framework for modelling the complex systems with memory features hereditary features and anomalous diffusion. The integration process is subject to implementation of Laplace technique. It has been claimed that the improvement in volumetric fraction leads to reduction of fluid velocity. The temperature profile reduces due to higher Prandtl number and control of heat transfer is more impressive for copper base hybrid nanofluid.
