Chemically reactive bioconvection flow of tangent hyperbolic nanoliquid with gyrotactic microorganisms and nonlinear thermal radiation

Abstract

On the account of motivating fabrication of bioconvection phenomenon in various engineering and industrial systems, an attention has been devoted by researchers in current decade. Therefore, this theoretical investigation deals with the utilization of bioconvection phenomenon in flow of tangent hyperbolic nanofluid over an accelerated moving surface. It is assumed that the flow is generated due to periodically motion of the sheet. The energy equation is modified by entertaining the nonlinear thermal radiation features. The chemical reaction effects are elaborated in the concentration equation. Moreover, the significance of present flow problem increases by utilizing the thermophoresis and Brownian motion effects. The governing equations are transmuted into non-dimensional form with utilization of appropriate quantities. The analytical solution is computed by using homotopy analysis method. The implications of promising parameters on velocity profile, temperature profile, nanoparticles volume fraction and microorganisms profile is evaluated graphically. The presence of radiation parameter, thermophoresis and Brownian motion effects are more frequent for enhancement of heat transfer. The reported observations can efficiently use in the improvement of heat transfer devices as well as microbial fuel cells.

A comprehensive study to the assessment of Arrhenius activation energy and binary chemical reaction in swirling flow

“…Nanofluids have the tonic role when used with microorganisms to provide useful products for life and to eradicate the serious environmental issues. Al-Khaled et al 2 studied theoretically the application of bioconvection phenomena in periodically flow of tangent hyperbolic nanofluid over an accelerated moving surface with nonlinear thermal radiation, chemical reaction, thermophoresis and Brownian motion. Khan et al 3 used convective Nield boundary conditions to investigate the rheology of couple stress nanofluid with activation energy, porous media, thermal radiation, gyrotactic microorganisms employing Buongiorno nanofluid model, in addition to, second-order velocity slip (Wu's slip).…”

“…Makinde and Animasaun 60 illustrated the radiative bioconvective nanoliquid flow over a paraboloid surface with chemical reaction. The same features for a tangent hyperbolic nanofluid over the oscillating surface were communicated by Al‐Khaled et al 61 Impact of buoyancy force on the chemically reactive gyrotactic bioconvective nanoliquid thin‐film flow was reported by Zuhra et al 62 Effect of higher‐order chemical reaction on Prandtl nanoliquid was addressed by Eid et al 63 They found that frictional effect becomes high for the magnetic field. More parallel studies are found in the following References [64–68].…”

Insights into the Generalized Fourier's and Fick's Laws for Simulating Mixed Bioconvective Flows of Radiative-Reactive Walters-B Fluids Conveying Tiny Particles subject to Lorentz Force
