Abstract
The principal aim of this paper is to analyse the two-dimensional magnetohydrodynamic flow and heat and mass transfer phenomena of water-based nanofluid containing
gyrotactic microorganisms over a vertical plate by means of heat generation or absorption. Set of nonlinear ordinary differential equations are derived from the governing partial differential equations of the two-dimensional flow of MHD nanofluid and nanoparticles by utilizing appropriate similarity ransformations. The numerical results are obtained with the proposed
novel spectral relaxation method. The results revealed that in the heat and mass transfer, the motile microorganism flux rates as well as the velocity profiles are decreased throughout
the fluid medium with the impact of magnetic field strength. Moreover, the drag stress rate and motile microorganism profiles are increased with the enhancement of magnetic field.
Even though the problem of nanofluid has been broadly investigated, limited discoveries can be found through a gyrotactic microorganisms. Indeed, this paper managed to obtain the numerical analysis is performed. Furthermore, the authors also considered the MHD phenomena, heat generation or absorption effects. Very few studies in the fluid with gyrotactic microorganisms embedded in this parameter in their problems
