Heat transfer in three dimensional micropolar based nanofluid with electromagnetic waves in the presence of eukaryotic microbes

Abstract

Microorganism motility holds significant importance in the realm of biomedical research. It contributes to the investigation of bacterial infections, microbial pathogenesis, and the formulation of strategies for combating antimicrobial resistance. Motile microorganisms embody a multifaceted and dynamic facet of microbial existence, exerting influence on ecosystems, human health, and advancements in technology. The significance of the current investigations is to develop a steady 3D computational model for the magnetic field hydrodynamics micropolar nanofluid along with the Buongiorno model which incorporates Brownian motion and thermophoretic diffusion effects to describe the heat transfer enhancement of micropolar nanofluid. The influence of thermal radiation on convective boundary conditions is also considered here. Similarity transformations are employed to convert an equation of motion into an ordinary differential equation. The final shape of ODEs is solved numerically with the aid of MATLAB software. Graphical results against convergence parameters like the influence of magnetic parameter, velocity ratio parameter, Prandtl number, micropolar parameter, porosity parameter thermophoretic number, Brownian motion, bio-convective Schmidt number, Peclet number thermal radiation parameter is demonstrated on velocity, temperature, concentration, motile and angular profiles. The default values of physical parameter used our analysis are: 0.2≤M≤0.5, 0.2≤λ≤0.6, 0.2≤K≤0.5, 0.0≤K1≤2.0, 1.0≤Sb≤1.4, 0.1≤σ≤0.90.1≤Nr≤0.9, 0.3≤Nt≤1.8,1.5≤A≤3.5,0.0≤B≤2.0;0.0≤Nb≤2.0,0.5≤γ≤2.5, 0.0≤S≤0.8, 1.0≤Sc≤1.8, 0.0≤D≤2.0, 0.1≤Pe≤0.5.The novelty of the present model is validated with the previously published data and found an excellent agreement. Our obtained results signifies that a rise in the mass and temperature convective parameter causes the velocity profile to grow, but a rise in the porosity and magnetic parameter causes it to decrease. The temperature profile increases with a rise in, thermophoretic parameter, and magnetic parameter, whereas it decreases with a rise in temperature exponent and Prandtl number. This research brings esteemed insights the micropolar nanofluids make them attractive options for a variety of uses in a range of sectors, such as manufacturing, energy, electronics, and healthcare.
