Bio-convective Magnetohydrodynamic Flow of Tangent Hyperbolic Nanofluid over a Stretching Surface with Convective Heat and Slip Conditions

Abstract

The current study investigates the mixed convective flow of MHD tangent hyperbolic nanofluid due to a stretching surface with motile micro-organisms via convective heat transfer and slip conditions. The flow analysis's governing equations were converted into a non-dimensional relation by using the proper alteration. The PDE model equations are computed for these transformed equations using the MATLAB- bvp4c scheme. Skin friction, Sherwood number, Nusselt number, and the profiles of motile microorganisms are engineering-relevant quantities when compared to various physical variables. In comparison to recent literature, Skin friction is consistent for magnetic parameter; the results demonstrated a good consistency. Furthermore, an enhancement in the radiation and mixed convection parameter's magnitude enhances the velocity profile. Weissenberg number and magnetic field are used to study the reverse impact. The impact of thermal radiation parameter, Brownian movement, and thermophoretic effects are additional factors that frequently improve heat transfer. Through graphical and tabular explanations, the physical interpretation has been presented.
