Fractional order simulation for unsteady MHD nanofluid flow in porous medium with Soret and heat generation effects

In this paper, unsteady magnetohydrodynamics nanofluid flow with thermo‐diffusion and heat generation effects is studied. The fluid flow at the plate is considered exponentially accelerated through a porous medium. The governing system of equations is made dimensionless with the help of similarity transformation. A Caputo–Fabrizio fractional‐order derivative is employed to generalize the momentum, energy, and concentration equations, and the exact expression is obtained using Laplace transformation techniques. To realize the physics of the problem, numerical results of velocity, temperature, and concentration profiles are obtained and presented through graphs. Also, the numerical values of the Nusselt number and Sherwood number are obtained and compared which strongly agree with the previous studies. From the results, it is concluded that velocity distribution decline by improving the value of the chemical reaction and magnetic field while the reverse trend is observed for volume fraction and micropolar parameter. It is also seen that the heat transfer process improves with heat generation and thermal radiation whereas, mass transfer declines with the chemical reaction parameter.
