Abstract The present work deals with the effects of suction and injection on Casson nanofluid around a moving wedge under the influence of gyrotactic microorganisms along with viscous & ohmic dissipation. The governing system of highly coupled nonlinear PDEs together with assisting boundary conditions are converted by applying suitable similarity transformations, into a set of non-linear ODEs. The obtained flow model is solved numerically by bvp4c (MATLAB) procedure. The accuracy of the flow model under consideration is validated by employing another well-known mathematical technique Runge-Kutta-Fehlberg (RKF) having good agreement while comparing the numerical results obtained by bvp4c for both suction & injection cases. Impacts of various pertinent parameters active in the flow model such as thermophoresis and Brownian motion, moving wedge, magnetic field, viscous and ohmic dissipation are numerically calculated for both suction & injection flow situations and also presented graphically. It is observed that the increase in casson parameter enhances the velocity but declines the density of motile organism, concentration and temperature for suction as well as injection flow case. The impacts of mass transfer rate of gyrotactic microorganisms, Nusselt and Sherwood numbers for various fluid parameters are numerically presented in tabular form, separately for both suction and injection. One of the important observation of the current study is that the suction or injection plays a key role in controlling boundary layer flow and brings stability in the flow. Moreover, rate of heat & mass transfer get enhanced in the existence of gyrotactic microorganisms. Further, it would be worth mentioning that physical behavior of this flow problem coincide very well with already published literature either graphical or in tabular representation.

Abstract In this article, the mass and heat transfer flow of Ag–kerosene oil nanofluid over a cone under the effects of suction/injection, magnetic field, thermophoresis, Brownian diffusion, and Ohmic-viscous dissipation was examined. On applying the suitable transformation, PDEs directing the flow of nanofluid were molded to dimensionless ODEs. The solution of the reduced boundary value problem was accomplished by applying Runge–Kutta–Fehlberg method via shooting scheme and the upshots were sketched and interpreted. The values of shear stress and coefficients of heat and mass transfer were attained for some selected values of governing factors. The obtained results showed that when the amount of surface mass flux shifts from injection to the suction domain, the heat and mass transfer rate grew uniformly. However, they have regularly condensed with the rise in the magnitude of the magnetic field and particle volume fraction. Several researches have been done using cone-shaped geometry under the influence of various factors affecting the fluid flow, yet, there exists no such investigation that incorporated the response of viscous-Ohmic dissipation, heat absorption/generation, suction/blowing, Brownian diffusion, and thermophoresis on the hydro-magnetic flow of silver-kerosene oil nanofluid over a cone.

The boundary layer heat and mass transfer flow of Casson nanofluid over a stretching sheet with constant wall temperature (CWT) under the magnetic field and thermal radiation effects is investigated numerically. Using similarity transformations, the governing equations are reduced to a set of nonlinear ordinary differential equations (ODEs). These equations are solved numerically by Shooting method. The effects of Casson parameter, magnetic parameter, porosity parameter, radiation parameter, Prandtl number, Brownian parameter and thermophoresis parameter on velocity, temperature and concentration fields are shown graphically and discussed. The results show that increase in Casson parameter causes the wall temperature increase well in the nanofluid.

A computational simulation of two-dimensional magnetic-Carreau fluid in a suspension of gyrotactic microorganisms past a slendering sheet with variable thickness is investigated for slenderness parameters varied in the range of –0.2 to 1.0. Owing to the noticeable implication in various engineering applications, the effects of multiple slip is considered in the present simulation along with the Soret and the Dufour effects for the heat and mass transfer controlling process. The numerical values of the velocity, temperature, concentration, and the density of the motile organisms are computed by the robust Runge–Kutta-based Newton’s scheme. The thermal and concentration boundary layer are changed with the increase in the multiple slip parameters such as velocity slip, temperature slip, concentration slip, and diffusion slip parameters. With the rise in the Carreau fluid power index parameter, the velocity field increases while it declines with the velocity slip and magnetic field parameter. The increasing values of velocity slip, Dufour number, Soret number, and magnetic parameter boost up the density of the motile organism profiles for different slenderness parameter considered in the present study. The effect of the nondimensional factors on the skin friction, local Nusselt, local Sherwood, and the density numbers of the motile organisms are discussed with the assistance of the table for three different slenderness parameters. It is found that multiple slip parameters enable to control the heat and mass transfer rate. Finally, both the qualitative and quantitative comparisons of the present results with previous study are presented in the tabular form and are found to be in excellent agreement.

The present study investigates on a steady two-dimensional Marangoni convective flow of nanofluid through a porous medium with heat and mass transfer characteristics. The proposed mathematical model has a tendency to characterize the radiation and chemical reaction effects. The governing equations in the form of partial differential equations have been converted into ordinary differential equations through similarity transformations, which have been solved by using Runge-Kutta method via shooting technique. The characteristics of velocity, temperature and concentration boundary layers are studied for different physical parameters. The local Nusselt and Sherwood numbers are estimated and discussed for aforesaid physical parameters. It is to be noted that the Marangoni ratio parameter is improves the rate of heat transfer and decreases the mass transfer rate.

The limiting diffusion current technique was used for investigation of free convective mass transfer at down-pointing up-facing isosceles triangular surfaces of varying length and inclination. As the mass transfer process, copper deposition from acidified copper(II) sulfate solution was used. It was found that the mass transfer rate increases with inclination from the vertical to the horizontal position and decreases with length of inclined surface. Correlation equations for 7 angles from 0 to 90° were found. The exponent in the ShL-RaL correlation ranged from 0.247 for the vertical case, indicating laminar flow, to 0.32 for inclinations of 60 to 90°, indicating mixed or turbulent flow. The general correlation ShL = 0.358(RaL sin θ)0.30 for the RaL sin θ range from 7 × 106 to 2 × 1011 and inclination range from 15 to 90° was obtained.

AbstractThe double-diffusive tangent hyperbolic nanofluid containing motile gyrotactic microorganisms and magnetohydrodynamics past a stretching sheet is examined. By adopting the scaling group of transformation, the governing equations of motion are transformed into a system of nonlinear ordinary differential equations. The Keller box scheme, a finite difference method, has been employed for the solution of the nonlinear ordinary differential equations. The behaviour of the working fluid against various parameters of physical nature has been analyzed through graphs and tables. The behaviour of different physical quantities of interest such as heat transfer rate, density of the motile gyrotactic microorganisms and mass transfer rate is also discussed in the form of tables and graphs. It is found that the modified Dufour parameter has an increasing effect on the temperature profile. The solute profile is observed to decay as a result of an augmentation in the nanofluid Lewis number.

Rheology of MHD bioconvective nanofluid containing motile microorganisms is inspected numerically in order to analyze heat and mass transfer characteristics. Bioconvection is implemented by combined effects of magnetic field and buoyancy force. Gyrotactic microorganisms enhance the heat and transfer as well as perk up the nanomaterials’ stability. Variable transport properties along with assisting and opposing flow situations are taken into account. The significant influences of thermophoresis and Brownian motion have also been taken by employing Buongiorno’s model of nanofluid. Lie group analysis approach is utilized in order to compute the absolute invariants for the system of differential equations, which are solved numerically using Adams-Bashforth technique. Validity of results is confirmed by performing error analysis. Graphical and numerical illustrations are prepared in order to get the physical insight of the considered analysis. It is observed that for controlling parameters corresponding to variable transport properties c2, c4, c6, and c8, the velocity, temperature, concentration, and bioconvection density distributions accelerates, respectively. While heat and mass transfer rates increases for convection parameter and bioconvection Rayleigh number, respectively.

The induced magnetic field for three-dimensional bio-convective flow of Casson nanofluid containing gyrotactic microorganisms along a vertical stretching sheet is investigated. The movement of these microorganisms cause bioconvection and they act as bio-active mixers that help in stabilising the nanoparticles in the suspension. The two forces, Thermophoresis and Brownian motion are incorporated in the Mathematical model along with Stefan blowing. The resulting model is transformed to ordinary differential equations using similarity transformations and are solved using [Formula: see text] method. The Velocity, Induced Magnetic field, Temperature, Concentration of Nanoparticles, and Motile density profiles are interpreted graphically. It is observed that the Casson parameter decreases the flow velocity and enhances the temperature, concentration, and motile density profiles and also it is noticed that the blowing enhances the nanofluid profiles whereas, suction diminishes the nanofluid profiles. On the other hand, it is perceived that the rate of heat conduction is enhanced with Thermophoresis and Brownian motion.
