Comparative Analysis MHD Bioconvective Flow of Micropolar Nanofluid in Porous Medium

The present study dealt with heat and mass transfer rate, and motile micro-organisms for convective micropolar nanofluid flow in a porous medium. The nanofluid contains the influence of both Brownian motion and thermodiffusion (thermophoresis). The problem considered finds applications in the areas of engineering such as reducing greenhouse effects and in the pharmaceutical applications enhancing mixing and slowing down settling particles can be mentioned. The numerical results are obtained and discussed. The results obtained suggest that micropolar fluids enhance the flow and decrease the temperature, nanoparticles concentration and gyrotactic microorganisms concentration profiles compared to viscous fluid. It is also noted that Hall parameter increases skin friction, the heat transfer rate, the mass transfer rate and density of the motile microorganisms.
