This article presents the generalization of the unsteady MHD free convection flow of non-Newtonian sodium alginate-ferrimagnetic nanofluid in two infinite vertical parallel plates. The different shape (blade, brick, cylinder, and platelet) ferrimagnetic nanoparticles are dissolved in the non-Newtonian sodium alginate (SA) as base fluid to form non-Newtonian nanofluids. The Jeffrey fluid model together with energy equation is considered to demonstrate the flow. The Atangana–Baleanu fractional operator is utilized for the generalization of mathematical model. The Laplace transform technique and Zakian's numerical algorithm are used to developed general solutions with a fractional order for the proposed model. The obtained results are computed numerically and presented graphically to understand the physics of pertinent flow parameters. It is noticed that the velocity and temperature profiles are significantly increased with the increasing values of the fractional parameter due to the variation in thermal and momentum boundary layers. In the case of the effect of different shapes of nanoparticles, density is a dominant factor as compared to thermal conductivity, which significantly affects the flow of non-Newtonian nanofluid.

Influence of thermal radiation on unsteady magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) free convection flow of Jeffrey fluid over a vertical plate with ramped wall temperature is studied. The Laplace transform technique is used to obtain the analytical solutions. Expressions for skin friction and Nusselt number are also obtained. Results of velocity and temperature distributions are shown graphically for embedded parameters such as Jeffrey fluid parameterλ, Prandtl numberPr, Grashof numberGr, Hartmann numberHa, radiation parameterRd, and dimensionless timeτ. It is observed that the amplitude of velocity and temperature profile for isothermal are always higher than ramped wall temperature.

The unsteady magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) free convection flow of Jeffrey fluid embedded in porous medium past an oscillating vertical plate generated by thermal radiation with ramped wall temperature is investigated. The incompressible fluid is taken electrically conducting under the action of transverse magnetic field towards the flow. Constitutive relation of Jeffrey fluid is employed to model the governing equations in terms of partial differential equations with some physical conditions. The transformed dimensionless governing equations are solved analytically using Laplace transform technique. The impact of various pertinent parameters namely material parameter of Jeffrey fluid , dimensionless parameter of Jeffrey fluid , phase angle , Hartmann number , permeability parameter , Grashof number , Prandtl number , radiation parameter  and dimensionless time  on velocity and temperature distributions are presented graphically and discussed in details. It is observed that, the permeability parameter tend to retard the fluid velocity for ramped wall temperature but enhance the velocity for an isothermal plate. Besides that, this study shows, the amplitude of velocity and temperature fields for ramped wall temperature are always lower than isothermal plate. A comparison with the existing published work is also provided to confirm the validity of the present results and an excellent agreement are found.

AbstractIn this note, we investigate the unsteady free convection flow of a Jeffrey fluid past an infinite isothermal vertical plate. Exact solutions are obtained using the Laplace transform technique. These solutions are expressed in terms of exponential and complementary error functions, and satisfy all imposed initial and boundary conditions as well as the governing equations. The expression for the shear stress is also evaluated. The corresponding solutions for a Newtonian fluid can be easily obtained as a special case. It is found from the velocity and shear stress solutions that they strongly depend on the material parameters of a Jeffrey fluid. The exact solutions obtained here can be used as a benchmark for checking the correctness of other approximate or numerical solutions. In addition, this note will help in understanding the characteristics of non-Newtonian fluid flows that are subject to free convection due to buoyancy force.
