Abstract

The problem of free convective steady boundary layer flows over a solid horizontal flat plate nested in a porous medium filled with a nanofluid containing gyrotactic microorganisms is considered. The exponent of the temperature, the nanoparticle volume fraction and the density of motile microorganisms are introduced to make the quantities dimensionless. The impacts of the considered exponent and bioconvection parameters on the dimensionless temperature, velocity, nanoparticle concentration and density of motile microorganisms along with Nusselt, Sherwood and motile microorganism numbers are tabulated and shown graphically. For a regular fluid and also for the isothermal case, the results are compared with the existing data and excellent compatibility is found.
