Abstract

This article investigates the Hall and ion slip effects on steady, incompressible, and bioconvective three-dimensional flow of Eyring-Powell nanofluid past a convectively heated stretching sheet placed in a uniform porous medium considering viscous dissipation and Joule heating. As per authors' knowledge, no such study is reported yet in the literature. Suitable similarity transformations are used to metamorphose the governing PDEs into a system of ODEs. The obtained nonlinear equations are solved numerically with the help of the bvp4c solver in MATLAB. The behaviors of various flow parameters on velocity, temperature, concentration, and microorganisms concentration fields are explained and exhibited through figures. Also, the variations in coefficients of local skin-friction, Nusselt, Sherwood, and motile numbers for sundry parameters are clarified and presented in the tabular form. Moreover, the acquired results are checked with the previously described results for a particular case of the present problem and a superb correlation is spotted from the comparison. The graphs exhibit that Hall and ion slip effects have the tendency to enhance the flow field. Moreover, there is a hike in the temperature profile due to the viscous dissipation, Joule heating, and thermal radiation phenomena. The local Sherwood number is reduced with respect to chemical reaction and activation energy.
