Zusammenfassung:The stretched flow with heat transfer has pivotal role in geothermal energy system, oil extraction, continuous casting, metal spinning and electronic cooling. Owing to this fact, the current analysis focuses on non-linear thermal radiation effect in bio-convective stagnation point flow by a stretchable wedge. Darcy relation is used to discuss the porous space. Convective conditions are deliberated. Non-uniform heat source is addressed. Soret and Dufour outcomes are analyzed. Dissipation and magnetohydrodynamics are discussed. Presence of gyrotactic microorganisms along with chemical reaction is considered. Related non-linear partial differential equations (PDEs) are reduced into dimensionless ordinary differential equations (ODEs) through adequate transformations. Optimal homotopy analysis method (OHAM) is adopted for the computations of related nonlinear differential systems. Flow, microorganism field, concentration and temperature distribution are graphically explored. Numerical analysis for coefficient of skin friction, microorganism density number and Sherwood and Nusselt numbers against emerging parameters are discussed. It is noted that velocity and skin friction coefficient have similar scenario for modified Hartman number. Thermal transport rate and temperature have reverse trends for non-uniform heat source variable. An augmentation in thermal distribution is seen through thermal Biot number. Larger Dufour number has increasing trend for temperature. An increasing trend for solutal Biot number for concentration is noticed. Larger Soret number leads to concentration enhancement. Microorganism field and motile density number against Peclet number have opposite response. There is reduction for bio-convective Lewis number in motile density number.
