Exact and fractional solution of MHD generalized Couette hybrid nanofluid flow with Mittag–Leffler and power law kernel

Abstract

This study investigates the complex behavior of Jeffrey nanofluid flow in a porous oscillating microchannel under the influence of magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) effects. The research explores how magnetic field distortions lead to diverse accumulation patterns of nanofluid particles, a phenomenon attributed to homogeneous magnetization in fluid dynamics. Nanoparticles ranging from 0.25 % to 0.5 % (low and inexpensive concentrations) are remarkably consistent for best results in most machining procedures. Different concentrations of various nanomaterial's is utilized (φ1 = φ2 = 0.01, 0.02, 0.03, 0.04) to make the simple nanfluid and hybrid nanofluid suspensions. By employing fractal-fractional derivatives governed by power law, a mathematical model developed to describe the time-varying, compressible MHD flow of Jeffrey nanofluid. The model incorporates the effects of heat transfer, pressure, and magnetic fields on the fluid dynamics. A novel fractional approach utilizing the Laplace transform is applied to solve the fractal MHD hybrid-fluid model integrated into a porous medium. The study reveals velocity flow decrease with increasing Reynolds numbers but increase with channel inclination. Additionally, both the Darcy number and magnetic field orientation enhance heat transfer rates. In addition, the velocity profile enhanced by the hybrid nanofluid suspension as compared to simple nanofluid flow. The research validates its findings by demonstrating the convergence of fractional and numerical solution methods. Furthermore, the study compares the performance of different hybrid nanofluids, concluding that water-based (H2O + GO + MoS2) hybrid fluids exhibit slightly superior characteristics compared to (CMC + GO + MoS2) hybrid nanofluids.
