Applications of Nano-biofuel cells for Reiner-Philippoff nanoparticles with higher order slip effects

Abstract

Abstract Owing to advanced thermal features and stable properties, scientists have presented many novel applications of nanomaterials in the energy sectors, heat control devices, cooling phenomenon and many biomedical applications. The suspension between nanomaterials with microorganisms is important in biotechnology and food sciences. With such motivations, the aim of current research is to examine the bioconvective thermal phenomenon due to Reiner–Philippoff nanofluid under the consideration of multiple slip effects. The assessment of heat transfer is further predicted with temperature dependent thermal conductivity. The radiative phenomenon and chemical reaction is also incorporated. The stretched surface with permeability of porous space is assumed to be source of flow. With defined flow constraints, the mathematical model is developed. For solution methodology, the numerical simulations are worked out via shooting technique. The physical aspects of parameters are discussed. It is claimed that suggested results claim applications in the petroleum sciences, thermal systems, heat transfer devices etc. It has been claimed that the velocity profile increases due to Bingham parameter and Philippoff constant. Lower heat and mass transfer impact is observed due to Philippoff parameter.
