Study of Activation Energy on the Movement of Gyrotactic Microorganism in a Magnetized Nanofluids Past a Porous Plate

Abstract

The present study deals with the swimming of gyrotactic microorganisms in a nanofluid past a stretched surface. The combined effects of magnetohydrodynamics and porosity are taken into account. The mathematical modeling is based on momentum, energy, nanoparticle concentration, and microorganisms’ equation. A new computational technique, namely successive local linearization method (SLLM), is used to solve nonlinear coupled differential equations. The SLLM algorithm is smooth to establish and employ because this method is based on a simple univariate linearization of nonlinear functions. The numerical efficiency of SLLM is much powerful as it develops a series of equations which can be subsequently solved by reutilizing the data from the solution of one equation in the next one. The convergence was improved through relaxation parameters in the study. The accuracy of SLLM was assured through known methods and convergence analysis. A comparison of the proposed method with the existing literature has also been made and found an excellent agreement. It is worth mentioning that the successive local linearization method was found to be very stable and flexible for resolving the issues of nonlinear magnetic materials processing transport phenomena.

“…Furthermore, the skewness level attains an average of 0.0257. It is essential that a lower value of skewness is achieved since it helps to calculate the solution with a higher accuracy percentage [37,38]. Therefore, the generated mesh should have a minimal skewness before proceeding for further analysis [39,40].…”

Boundary layer flow pattern of heat and mass for homogenous shear thinning hybrid‐nanofluid: An experimental data base modeling

“…Due to the shear thinning nature of the nanofluid, we used the power law model for mathematical modeling in the form of shear stress and shear rate relation which obeys the experimental trend. In literature, widespread practice is done by this model in different flow situations [17–37]. Moreover, several shapes of equipments are used in industry for different processes.…”
