Implication of Bio-convective Marangoni flow of non-Newtonian material towards an infinite disk subject to exponential space-based heat source
Abstract
In recent years, the research for enhanced thermal transportation is centered around the utilization of nanostructures to avail the prospective benefits in areas of biomedical, metallurgy, polymer processing, mechanical and electrical engineering applications, food processing, ventilation, heat storage devices, nuclear systems cooling, electronic devices, solar preoccupation, magnetic sticking, bioengineering applications, etc. The thermal aspects of nanoliquids and associated dynamics properties are still necessary to be explored. In this thermal contribution, the flow of Casson nanofluid configured by an infinite disk is analyzed. The significance of Marangoni flow with activation energy, thermal and exponential space-dependent heat source, nonlinear thermal radiation and Joule heating impacts is also incorporated. Similarly, variables are affianced to recast the governing flow expressions into highly coupled nonlinear ODEs. The numerical simulation for the prevailing model is elucidated by applying the bvp4c built-in function of computational commercial software MATLAB. Consequences of sundry parameters, namely, magnetic parameter, Prandtl number, radiation parameter, exponential space-dependent heat source parameter, thermal-dependent heat source parameter, Eckert number, Dufour parameter, Soret number, Schmidt number, Marangoni number and Marangoni ratio parameter, mixed convection parameter, buoyancy ratio parameter, bioconvection Rayleigh number, activation energy parameter, thermophoresis parameter, Brownian motion parameter, bioconvection Lewis number, Peclet number microorganisms difference variable versus involved flow profiles like velocity, temperature, concentration of nanoparticles and microorganism field are obtained and displayed through graphs and tabular data.
