A Time Fractional Model With Non-Singular Kernal the Generalized Couette Flow of Couple Stress Nanofluid

The aim of the present work is to calculate the closed form solutions of the unsteady couple stress nanofluids flow in a channel. Couple stress nanofluids (CSNF) is allowed to pass through the parallel plates separated by a distance . In this study, we choose blood as base fluid with gold nanoparticles suspension. The lower plate is at rest and the upper plate is suddenly moved with constant velocity . Recently, Atangana & x2013;Baleanu (AB) introduced a new definition of fractional derivatives. This AB definition of fractional derivative has been applied to the present couple stress nanofluid (CSNF) model. The closed form solutions of present CSNF model via AB approach are obtained by using the Laplace and finite Fourier sine transforms. Exact results of velocity and temperature are displayed and discussed for different parameters of interest. Solutions obtained here are reduced to three different cases in limiting sense i.e. (i) fractional couple stress nanofluid without external pressure gradient. (ii) ordinary couple stress nanofluid. (iii) regular couple stress fluid. Finally, skin friction and Nusselt number are evaluated at lower and upper plates and listed in tabular forms. The results show that increasing external pressure gradient, CSNF velocity increases whereas decreases by increasing Reynolds number. Increasing volume fraction slow down the CSNF velocity. The velocity of Newtonian viscous fluid is higher than CSNF velocity.
