Significance of magnetic field and activation energy on the features of stratified mixed radiative-convective couple-stress nanofluid flows with motile microorganisms

The current non-homogeneous nanofluid flow model is carried out to scrutinize the performance of the generalized Fourier's and Fick's laws on the MHD bioconvective aspects of couple-stress nanofluid flows through a convectively heated stretching sheet in the presence of activation energy a...

description The current non-homogeneous nanofluid flow model is carried out to scrutinize the performance of the generalized Fourier's and Fick's laws on the MHD bioconvective aspects of couple-stress nanofluid flows through a convectively heated stretching sheet in the presence of activation energy and multiple stratified boundary conditions. Herein, both the concentrations of solid nanoparticles and motile microorganisms are incorporated explicitly into the nonlinear differential expressions describing the present non-Newtonian nanofluid flow model. Besides, the combined thermal influence of the Cattaneo-Christov heat flux and thermal radiation are also discussed. From a practical point of view, the couple-stress nanofluids are useful for examining different types of thermophysical and rheological features, since this kind of enhanced fluids can clarify realistically the dynamical behavior of various liquids, like the human blood and some polymeric suspensions.
