Convection in ethylene glycol-based molybdenum disulfide nanofluid

Abstract

This article aims to study the flow of ethylene glycol-based molybdenum disulfide generalized nanofluid over an isothermal vertical plate. A fractional model with non-singular and non-local kernel, namely Atangana–Baleanu fractional derivatives, is developed for Casson nanofluid in the form of partial differential equations along with appropriate initial and boundary conditions. Molybdenum disulfide nanoparticles of spherical shape are suspended in ethylene glycol taken as conventional base fluid. The exact solutions are developed for velocity and temperature via the Laplace transform technique. In limiting sense, the obtained solutions are reduced to fractional Newtonian (β→ ∞) , classical Casson fluid (α→ 1) and classical Newtonian nanofluid. The influence of various pertinent parameters is analyzed in various plots with the useful physical discussion.
