Abstract

The bioconvection Magneto-Hydrodynamics (MHD) flow of nanofluid over a stretching sheet with velocity slip and viscous dissipation is studied. The governing nonlinear partial differential equations of the flow are transformed into a system of coupled nonlinear ordinary differential equations using similarity transformation. These coupled ordinary differential equations are solved using fourth order Runge Kutta-Fehlberg integration method along with shooting technique. Solutions showing the effects of pertinent parameters on the velocity temperature, nanoparticles concentration, skin friction, Nusselt number and microorganism density are illustrated graphically and discussed. It is observed that there is enhancement of the motile microorganism density as thermal slip and Eckert number increase but microorganism density slip parameter have the opposite effect on the microorganism density. It is also found that an increase in Lewis number results in reduction of the volume fraction of nanoparticles and concentration boundary-layer thickness. Brownian motion, Nb and Eckert number, Ec decrease both local Nusselt number and local motile microorganism density but increases local Sherwood number. In addition, as the values of radiation parameter R increase, the thermal boundary layer thickness increases. Finally, thermophoresis parameter, Nt decreases both local Sherwood number, local Nuseselt number and local motile microorganism density. Comparisons of the present result with the previously published results show good agreement.
