Abstract

The present investigation focuses on the influence of motile gyrotactic microorganisms and thermal heat flux on three-dimensional convective flow of a Casson nanoliquid over an elongated surface. The flow equations are modelled by using Tiwari-Das nanofluid model. Sodium alginate (SA) is considered as the base fluid together with Ferromagnetic oxide (Fe3O4) nanoparticles. The governing flow equations are changed into a system of ODEs with the aid of similarity variables and are then addressed computationally. Influence of various pertinent parameters on different physical quantities is examined graphically. The outcomes of present investigation is validated through comparison study and is found to be in good arrangement. It is noticed that the coefficient of heat transfer rises with growing radiation and Biot numbers. Also the mass transfer coefficient surges for higher values of Schmidt number and generative chemical reaction parameter.
