Chemical reactive process of unsteady bioconvective magneto Williamson nanofluid flow across wedge with nonlinearly thermal radiation: Darcy–Forchheimer model

Abstract

This article examines the chemically reactive process of time-dependent bioconvective magnetohydrodynamic Williamson nanofluid flowing toward a wedge with radiative heat in the presence of gyrotactic motile microorganisms. The main goal is to boost heat transport. Nanoparticles are the most significant and widely utilized source of heat in both science and industrial mechanisms. Nanotechnology with remarkable thermal properties has a variety of roles in laser diode, energy transport, boilers, power generation, MEMS, medication, cool automobile engines, and electronic cooling mechanisms, among many others. The current prominent problem considering this stream is involved partial differential equations (PDEs). A suitable modification is utilized to change PDEs to ordinary differential equations (ODEs), which are computationally solved by mean of R-K fourth-order approach based on shooting technique. The prominent characteristics of nanoparticles such as liquid velocity, concentricity, thermal, drag friction factor, motile organisms, heat and mass transport, and density of motile microorganisms are examined concerning numerous variables. It is noticeable that the velocity curve declined for the escalated valuation of the Hartmann number and bioconvective Rayleigh number. The motile density decayed by climbing valuation of Lewis number and microorganisms difference factor. A review of the available research in the field verifies the findings stated above.
