No-slip conditions have their importance due to significant applications in pipeline transport, boundary layer investigation, and blood flow modeling to ensure exact estimation of the behavior of fluids on solid boundaries. Slip conditions are used in microfluidics, thin-film coating processes, and boosted oil recovery in which surface interactions have a significant impact on fluid flow. So, the study intends to fulfill the following particular goals: Firstly, to develop governing partial differential equations (PDEs) that define fluid flow while considering the effects of energy and mass transfer. Secondly, investigate how nonlinear thermal radiation affects the temperature profile in the normal direction of the vertical plate. Next, to solve the recommended PDEs, use the Prabhakar time-fractional derivative combined with the Laplace transform, then verify the results with Zakian and Stehfest’s numerical approaches. Further, to find the Nusselt number and the skin friction coefficient for approximation of heat transfer and shear stress on the boundary. Evaluate the physical influence of various factors on fluid flow and display the findings using graphical and numerical methods. In the end, to compare the flow features of the fractional Oldroyd-B model to two limiting models, the second-grade and the Maxwell models, to demonstrate the Prabhakar model’s superiority in modeling memory phenomena.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":678,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Thermal Analysis and Calorimetry","volume":"149 21","pages":"12353 - 12366"},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2024-09-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142714520","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Consequently, the objective of this work was to develop and use analytical methods to detect adulterants in Evening Primrose Oil (EPO) through differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) with a controlled cooling/heating system and chemometrics. For such a purpose, binary mixtures were prepared using soybean oil as adulterant. It was weighed and prepared in a ratio ranging from 5 to 95% (m/m). Samples were submitted to DSC based on the following parameters: dynamic atmosphere of N<sub>2</sub> (50 mL min<sup>−1</sup>); temperatures ranging from 283.15 to 198.15 K and from 198.15 to 283.15 K; cooling/heating rate of 275.15 K min<sup>−1</sup>; about 25 mg of sample in an aluminum crucible. Chemometric models were constructed from the DSC heating curves and normalized by the respective initial masses of samples. Data were pre-processed, normalized by their respective standard deviations and mean center. Results of multivariate analyzes were also compared with univariate calibration using T<sub>onset</sub> data (referring to the EPO melting point). Chemometric models were successfully constructed to quantify the level of adulteration, showing RMSE (mean squared errors) of 2.23 and 3.27% m/m for PLS and iPLS (Partial Least Squares and interval Partial Least Squares), respectively. The univariate model demonstrated linearity ranging from 15 to 80% m/m and reached RMSE of 1.06% m/m, thus being an outstanding alternative for a preliminary analysis aimed to reveal the presence of soybean oil in EPO.

Conversely, Case C performs the worst in this regard. Notably, transitioning from Case C to Case B results in a 2.44% improvement in CO<sub>2</sub> mitigation.
