Numerical study of bio-convection flow of magneto-cross nanofluid containing gyrotactic microorganisms with activation energy

Abstract In this study, a mathematical model is developed to scrutinize the transient magnetic flow of Cross nanoliquid past stretching sheet with thermal radiation effects. Binary chemical reactions and heat source/sink effects along convective boundary condition are also taken into consideration. Appropriate similarity transformations utilized transform partial differential equations (PDE’s) ordinary ones then numerically tackled by shooting method. The impacts different emerging parameters on thermal, concentration, velocity, micro-rotation profiles incorporated discussed in detail means graphs. Results reveal that, escalation parameter Rayleigh number slowdowns velocity momentum fluid. increase Biot number, sink/source upsurges but, converse trend seen for escalating Prandtl number. density motile microorganisms acts as growing function bioconvection Lewis declining Peclet
