ABSTRACT

This article outlines an analytical analysis of unsteady mixed bioconvection buoyancy-driven nanofluid thermodynamics and gyrotactic microorganisms motion in the stagnation domain of the impulsively rotating sphere with convective boundary conditions. To make the equations physically realistic, zero mass transfer boundary conditions have been used. The Brownian motion and thermophoresis effects are incorporated in the nanofluid model. Magnetic dipole effect has been implemented. A system of partial differential equations is used to represent thermodynamics and gyrotactic microorganisms motion, which is then transformed into dimensionless ordinary differential equations. The solution methodology is involved by homotopy analysis method. The results obtained are based on the effect of dimensionless parameters on the velocity, temperature, nanoparticles concentration and density of the motile microorganisms profiles. The primary velocity increases as the mixed convection and viscoelastic parameters are increased while it decreases as the buoyancy ratio, ferro-hydrodynamic interaction and rotation parameters are increased. The secondary velocity decreases as viscoelastic parameter increases while it increases as the rotation parameter increases. Temperature is reduced as the Prandtl number and thermophoresis parameter are increased. The nanoparticles concentration is increased as the Brownian motion parameter increases. The motile density of gyrotactic microorganisms increases as the bioconvection Rayleigh number, rotation parameter and thermal Biot number are increased.

ABSTRACT

The behavior of an Oldroyd-B nanoliquid film sprayed on a stretching cylinder is investigated. The system also contains gyrotactic microorganisms with heat and mass transfer flow. Similarity transformations are used to make the governing equations non-dimensional ordinary differential equations and subsequently are solved through an efficient and powerful analytic technique namely homotopy analysis method (HAM). The roles of all dimensionless profiles and spray rate have been investigated. Velocity decreases with the magnetic field strength and Oldroyd-B nanofluid parameter. Temperature is increased with increasing the Brownian motion parameter while it is decreased with the increasing values of Prandtl and Reynolds numbers. Nanoparticle's concentration is enhanced with the higher values of Reynolds number and activation energy parameter. Gyrotactic microorganism density increases with bioconvection Rayleigh number while it decreases with Peclet number. The film size naturally increases with the spray rate in a nonlinear way. A close agreement is achieved by comparing the present results with the published results.
