Double diffusive Marangoni convection flow of viscous incompressible electrically conducting fluid in a square cavity is studied in this paper by taking into consideration of the effect of applied magnetic field in arbitrary direction and the chemical reaction. The governing equations are solved numerically by using alternate direct implicit (ADI) method together with the successive over relaxation (SOR) technique. The flow pattern with the effect of governing parameters, namely the buoyancy ratio W, diffusocapillary ratio w, and the Hartmann number Ha, is investigated. It is revealed from the numerical simulations that the average Nusselt number decreases; whereas the average Sherwood number increases as the orientation of magnetic field is shifted from horizontal to vertical. Moreover, the effect of buoyancy due to species concentration on the flow is stronger than the one due to thermal buoyancy. The increase in diffusocapillary parameter, w causes the average Nusselt number to decrease, and average Sherwood number to increase.

Purpose This paper aims to study the magnetohydrodynamic (MHD)-free convection flow in an inclined square cavity filled with both nanofluids and gyrotactic microorganism. Design/methodology/approach The benefits of adding motile microorganisms to the suspension include enhanced mass transfer, microscale mixing and anticipated improved stability of the nanofluid. The model includes equations expressing conservation of total mass, momentum, thermal energy, nanoparticles, microorganisms and oxygen. Physical mechanisms responsible for the slip velocity between the nanoparticles and the base fluid, such as Brownian motion and thermophoresis, are accounted for in the model. Findings It has been found that the Hartmann number suppresses the heat and mass transfer, while the cavity and magnetic field inclination angles characterize a non-monotonic behavior of the all considered parameters. A rise of the Hartmann number leads to a reduction of the influence rate of the magnetic field inclination angle. Originality/value The present results are original and new for the study of MHD-free convection flow in an inclined square cavity filled with both nanofluids and gyrotactic microorganisms.
