Clay-based cementitious nanofluid flow subjected to Newtonian heating

Abstract

In recent years, a novel technique for producing robust cementitious materials, called nanocomposites, has emerged. These materials are comprised of clay minerals and polymers. As a result, a vertical flat plate has been used to evaluate a clay-based cementitious nanofluid in this research. The impacts of first-order chemical reactions, heat generation/heat absorption, and the Jeffrey fluid model are taken into account for the study of flow. Newtonian heating and the conditions for slippage velocity have also been considered. The mathematical problem for the flow analysis has been established in relations of partially coupled partial differential equations and the model has been generalized using constant proportional Caputo (CPC) fractional derivative. The problem is solved using the Laplace transform technique to provide precise analytical solutions. On the concentration, temperature, and velocity fields, the physics of a number of crucial flow parameters have been examined graphically. The acquired results have been condensed to a very well-known published work to verify the validity of the current work. It is important to note here that the rate of heat transfer in the fluid decreases by 10.17% by adding clay nanoparticles, while the rate of mass transfer decrease by 1.31% when the value of [Formula: see text] reaches 0.04.
