In the present article, we implement the fractional thermoelasticity theory to a 2D issue for a sphere whose surface is free from traction, subject to a provided axisymmetric temperature distribution of heat. The medium is supposed to be quiescent initially. A direct method is used to get a solution and the Laplace transform technique is used. Mathematical models for copper material are designed as a particular instance. Numerical results are computed with help of Mathcad software and graphically represented and the fractional-order parameter effect has been explained.

Single-use plastics impose an enormous environmental threat, but their recycling, especially of polyolefins, has been proven challenging. We report a direct method to selectively convert polyolefins to branched, liquid fuels including diesel, jet, and gasoline-range hydrocarbons, with high yield up to 85% over Pt/WO3/ZrO2 and HY zeolite in hydrogen at temperatures as low as 225°C. The process proceeds via tandem catalysis with initial activation of the polymer primarily over Pt, with subsequent cracking over the acid sites of WO3/ZrO2 and HY zeolite, isomerization over WO3/ZrO2 sites, and hydrogenation of olefin intermediates over Pt. The process can be tuned to convert different common plastic wastes, including low- and high-density polyethylene, polypropylene, polystyrene, everyday polyethylene bottles and bags, and composite plastics to desirable fuels and light lubricants.
