Abstract
The present article deals to study heat transfer analysis due to convection occurs in a fractionalized H2O-based CNTs nanofluids flowing through a vertical channel. The problem is modeled in terms of fractional partial differential equations using a modern trend of the fractional derivative of Atangana and Baleanu. The governing equation (momentum and energy equations) are subjected to physical initial and boundary conditions. The fractional Laplace transformation is used to obtain solutions in the transform domain. To obtain semi-analytical solutions for velocity and temperature distributions, the Zakian's algorithm is utilized for the Laplace inversions. For validation, the obtained solutions are compared in tabular form using Tzou's and Stehfest's numerical methods for Laplace inversion. The influence of fractional parameter is studied and presented in graphs and discussed.
