Thermal applications of carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs-MWCNTs) due to accelerating plate with ramped temperature conditions: Advanced fractional simulations

ABSTRACT
The fractional models have emerged as powerful tools for analyzing the behavior of complex systems with applications of memory effects, nonlocality and hereditary consequences. The fractional models offer excellent accuracy between experimental and theoretical results across different physical, thermal, industrial and biological problems. In current analysis, a fractional model has been developed for analyzing the thermal impact of hybrid nanofluid with enhanced heat transfer features. A suspension of water and human blood with carbon nanotubes has been considered. The thermal discretization of hybrid model is attributed with utilization of single wall carbon nanotubes (SWCNT) and multi wall carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs). An accelerating porous plate induces the flow. The problem is further updated by utilizing the magnetic force effects, porosity medium and ramped temperature constraints. Ramped thermal constraints at different time instant are considered. The fractional simulations are performed with help of Prabhakar fractional approach. Comparative thermal results for SWCNT-MWCNT/blood and SWCNT-MWCNT/H2O have been prepared. The physical insight of parameters in fluctuating the heat transfer rate is observed. The comparative outcomes reveal that water-based CNTs demonstrate a stronger thermal response than blood-based suspension. It has been observed that Grashof number plays effective role in enhancing the heat transfer impact. Presence of porous medium increase the thermal profile, justifying applications in petroleum engineering and soil sciences. The claimed results present novel applications in heat transfer systems, extrusion processes, energy-efficient chemical engineering operations, heat transfer devices, extrusion processes, energy growth, solar systems, chemical processes, fission reactions etc.
