Magnetized bioconvection flow of Sutterby fluid characterized by the suspension of nanoparticles across a wedge with activation energy

Abstract

Nanofluids are playing a vital part in advancing practical life. The potential application of nanomaterials in a multitude of scenarios, such oil recovery, the melting of electronic systems in computers, cooling systems, the construction of fluid, cooling spirals, engineering and manufacturing, heat storage devices, and bioengineering. The microorganisms have a vital role to play in numerous applications, such as biological sciences, drugs, and biotechnology, biofuels processing, wastewater treatment, and food production. The current investigation exhibits a numerical model for Sutterby fluid with activation energy, thermal radiation, and bioconvection flowing past a stretching/shrinking wedge. The set of conservative governing partial differential equations (PDEs) is converted into a dimensionless ODEs system by using suitable similarity variables. The obtained new system of the model with dimensionless relative boundary conditions is tackled numerically by manipulating the famous shooting method through bvp4c solver in MATLAB coding. The physical and mathematical findings for profiles of velocity, temperature, concentration, and microbe dispersion owing to various controlling parameter inputs are displayed in tables and graphs. Flow velocity is shown to decrease as the bioconvection Rayleigh number increases. Moreover, the Prandtl number increases, the thermal field of the fluid decreases while it increases for the temperature ratio parameter. Furthermore, it is determined from this situation that the concentration field decreases as the Brownian motion parameter increases. The field of the microorganism decreases as the Peclet number increases.

Neural network method for quadratic radiation and quadratic convection unsteady flow of Sutterby nanofluid past a rotating sphere

“…Unlike earlier studies, Nawaz [6] concentrated on the characteristics of heat transfer in the Sutterby fluid with numerous nanoparticles, concluding that the Sutterby-nanomaterial flow experiences a stronger Lorentz force than the Sutterby hybrid nanomaterial. Additionally, Waqas et al [7] explored the bio-convection of a Sutterby nanofluid traveling towards a wedge with activation energy and arrived at the conclusion that the Peclet number should be raised to reduce the microbe field.…”

Featuring the Hall effect and variable thermal conductivity on magnetized hybrid nanoliquid flow for three distinct shapes of nanoparticles: A comparative study

“…Nonlinear thermal radiation is more significant than linear thermal radiation in many heat transfer processes involving high temperatures. The influence of nonlinear thermal radiation on nanofluid heat transfer processes has been observed in a variety of applications such as glass blowing, annealing and tinning of copper wires, crystal growing, gas turbines, metallurgical processes, drawing of continuous filaments through quiescent fluids, design of reliable equipment, nuclear plants, fiber spinning, constant cooling, and so forth [22]. The simultaneous aspects of nonlinear thermal radiation and variable thermal conductivity on free convective magnetic hybrid nanofluid flow towards the porous stretched surface in the presence of velocity slip and convective heating conditions at the boundary were reported by Usman et al [23].…”

“…The non‐Darcian porous space, which integrates inertial and boundary effects, is the result of a modified variant of classical Darcy's theory.
