Description
The current novel study focuses on the two-dimensional magnetohydrodynamic flow of fractional Maxwell nanofluid through porous conical geometry under convective boundary conditions. The nanofluids considered for the study are suspensions of single and multi-walled carbon nanotubes with blood as the base fluid. Fractional-ordered governing equations are transfigured into non-dimensional forms using appropriate transformations. The finite difference approximations are obtained by discretizing the momentum and energy profiles. The results of both profile are plotted against various physical flow-pertaining parameters. It is evident, that multi-walled carbon nanotubes consistently show higher velocity profiles and lower temperature phases than single-walled carbon nanotubes nanofluid across all embedded parameters. Further, the study revealed that the absence of magnetic parameter improves by 11.36% of velocity distribution and the presence of heat source parameter improves by 18.37% of temperature distribution. This framing highlights the convergence criterion of the findings with previous work, emphasizing both reliability and accuracy within the range of 10?4 to 10?6. Graphical representation concludes that the model involving the fractional technique is superior to the integer one. Thus, achievement demonstrates practical application potential in optimizing the efficiency of fluid heating and cooling processes, underscoring its importance in thermal management. 2025
