Bioconvection in a Convectional Nanofluid Flow Containing Gyrotactic Microorganisms over an Isothermal Vertical Cone Embedded in a Porous Surface with Chemical Reactive Species

In this examination, a mathematical model is developed for Darcy free convection with reference to an isothermal vertical cone along with fixed apex half angle, pointing downward in a nanofluid-saturated porous medium. The aim of this methodology is to offer another sort of primary fluid containing nanoparticles and gyrotactic microorganism's consistence of permeable medium, chemical reaction alongside convective boundary circumstance. The model presents design rules for improvement of imperative fabrication of fertilizer and polymer substance. The present model includes the gyrotactic microorganisms alongside nanoparticles, and cone is dependent on concentration of nanoparticles as well as density of motile microorganisms. Two important impacts Brownian motion as well as thermophoresis are also included in the present model for nanofluids. Reduced system of nonlinear differential equations is derived from governing partial differential of the present flow by using usual transformations along with Oberbeck-Boussinesq approximation. After that, this reduced system is solved numerically with the use of fifth-order Runge-Kutta method in conjunction with the shooting technique. Relevant outcomes are exhibited graphically and talked about quantitatively as for variety in the flow controlling parameters related to the present analysis. Mainly, the observations are bioconvection parameters will in general improve the concentration of the rescaled density of microorganisms and nanoparticles volume fraction and dimensionless motile microorganisms reduce with strong chemical reactions.

Automated summary

A mathematical model is developed to study Darcy free convection in a nanofluid-saturated porous medium with reference to an isothermal vertical cone pointing downward. The model considers gyrotactic microorganisms, nanoparticles, chemical reactions, and convective boundary conditions. The study shows that bioconvection parameters generally increase microorganisms and nanoparticles concentration, while dimensionless motile microorganisms decrease with strong chemical reactions.
