Abstract
The partial differential equations of integer order describes only the models of classical nanofluids and do not consider the memory effects. For the description of the influence of memory on the nanofluids, differential equations with non-integer derivatives are used for the modeling of fractional nanofluids. This investigation explores the unsteady mixed convection fractional nanofluids flow of Brinkman type near a plate placed vertically in a permeable medium. Mass and heat transfer investigation is carried out under the thermal and chemical reaction effects. Four different nanoparticles named Silver (Ag), Aluminium Oxide (Al2O3), Copper (Cu), Titanium Oxide (T iO2) are dispersed in water which is a base fluid. The modeled system of partial differential equations are transformed into dimensional form through suitable dimensionless variables. By using Laplace transformation, the semi analytic solutions for velocity, temperature and concentrations field are developed. Then by using MATHCAD, inverse Laplace transform has been computed numerically. The acquired solutions meet all imposed initial and boundary conditions and change to similar solutions for ordinary nanofluid when fractional parameter value is taken as one. Influence of distinct physical parameters such as Brinkman parameter, fractional parameter, radiation parameter and volume fraction on the velocity, temperature and concentration profiles are shown through graphs. The tables for Sherwood number, Nusselt number are also calculated for different values of emerging parameters. The major result of our study is ordinary nanofluid flow is decelerator than the fractional nanofluid. Also, the fractional parameter has strong influence over heat transfer phenomena. It is also explored in this study that heat transfer rate is high for fractional nanofluid as compared to ordinary nanofluid.
