Three-dimensional bio-convection mechanism and heat transportation of nanofluid induced by magnetic field

There are several uses for bio-convection mechanisms, such as in sedimentary pools, fuel models, and microbially accelerated oil restoration. These are the basis of motile microorganisms which are applied to improve the mixability of fluid and tiny nanoparticles because they are accountable for biological transmission procedure. This work examines the bio-convective nanoparticles fluid flow and electrically conducting incompressible magneto-hydrodynamic flow of nanofluid towards a chemically reactive stretchable surface. Buongiorno model is considered here, which incorporates Brownian motion and thermophoretic diffusion, is employed in this study to explain how nanofluids improve heat transfer. The controlling boundary layer nonlinear PDEs are converted into ODEs by utilizing certain suitable similarity approaches. Numerical scheme is adopted to solve the transformed ordinary differential equations. The main findings of this research are that the magnetic field slows motion of the fluid when the thermal and mass buoyancy forces speed it up, and that thermophoretic diffusion increases the temperature and concentration of dimensionless fluids, resulting in stronger concentration and thermal boundary layers. The Brownian motion, concentration exponent, and chemical reaction parameters show an inverse relationship between temperature and concentration. Additionally, the first-order chemical reaction creates a lighter concentration boundary layer while the magnetic field's presence due to impact of thermal and mass buoyancies helps to lower the heat transfer rate and shear stress. The findings show that while the Nusselt number and wall shear stress values are declining, the microorganism number is increasing.

Automated summary

Bio-convection mechanisms have various uses, including in sedimentary pools, fuel models, and microbially accelerated oil restoration. This study examines the application of bio-convective nanoparticle fluid flow and electrically conducting incompressible magneto-hydrodynamic flow of nanofluid on a chemically reactive stretchable surface. The findings show that the magnetic field slows down fluid motion when thermal and mass buoyancy forces speed it up, and that thermophoretic diffusion increases the temperature and concentration of the fluids. The Brownian motion, concentration exponent, and chemical reaction parameters affect the temperature and concentration relationship. Additionally, the presence of a magnetic field and the first-order chemical reaction impact heat transfer rate and shear stress.
