Spectral quasi-linearization approach for the swimming of motile microorganisms on the bio-convection Casson nanofluid flow over a rotating circular disk

Abstract

The ability of motile microorganisms is used to design of biomedical nanofluidic devices that utilize for targeted drug delivery, to influence heat transfer in nanofluids that are applied to the optimization of cooling system, in biotechnological processes where precise control over fluid flow, etc. However, based upon the several facts, the current investigation lead to propose the heat transfer characteristic of motile microorganisms swimming in a flow of bio-convection nanofluid over a rotating circular disk. The proposed study explores the impacts of dissipative heat generated by the movement of microorganisms, thermal radiation, and chemical reactions. The impact of cross-diffusive property organized by the implementation of Brownian motion and thermophorsis energies the flow phenomena of bio-convection. The set of coupled nonlinear system of non-dimensional equations is obtained by the implementation of similarity rules and further quasi-linearization method is utilized for the solution of this system. The characteristics of diversified parameters are presented through graphs with the variation of the proposed factors within their certain limitations and thee discuss briefly. Further, the important outcomes of the study are presented as; the fluid velocity decelerates due to the enhanced non-Newtonian Casson parameter, whereas the radiating heat for the inclusion of thermal radiation and coupling parameter, that is, Eckert number boosts up the heat transport phenomena.
