Thermally radiative nanofluid heat transfer analysis inside a closed chamber with gyrotactic microorganisms

PurposeThis paper aims to numerically examine the impact of gyrotactic microorganisms and radiation on heat transport features of magnetic nanoliquid within a closed cavity. Thermophoresis, chemical reaction and Brownian motion are also considered in flow geometry for the moment of nanoparticles.Design/methodology/approachFinite element method (FEM) was depleted to numerically approximate the temperature, momentum, concentration and microorganisms concentration of the nanoliquid. The present simulation was unsteady state, and the resulting transformed equations are simulated by FEM-based Mathematica algorithm.FindingsIt has been found that isotherm patterns get larger with increasing values of the magnetic field parameter. Additionally, numerical codes for rate of heat transport impedance inside the cavity with an increasing Brownian motion parameter values.Originality/valueTo the best of the authors' knowledge, the research work carried out in this paper is new, and no part is copied from others' works.
