Type: article
Abstract: Nanofluid flow has attracted the attention of researchers across the globe. It is because of its innovative utilization in various industrial, manufacturing, pharmaceutical, engineering and nano cryosurgery fields. Here intension is to examine flow of Prandtl nanoliquid bounded by an infinite porous plate. Presence of gyrotactic microorganisms and heat generation is addressed. Physical features of irreversibility analysis in hydromagnetic flow are addressed. Thermal expression is discussed subject to magnetohydrodynamics, heat generation, dissipation and radiation. Innovative characteristics regarding Brownian diffusion and thermophoresis are also considered. Further chemical reaction of first order is discussed. The governing flow expression are converted into non-dimensional partial differential system through adequate variables. Numerical computations of resultant nonlinear partial differential system are developed by implementation of finite difference method (FDM). Consequences of various sundry parameters for flow, microorganism field, entropy generation, concentration and temperature are graphically explored. An intensification of thermal field and entropy rate for magnetic field noticed while reverse trend seen for velocity. Higher radiation variable on entropy rate and temperature has same effect. An opposite effect for concentration against random motion and chemical reaction is noticed. Reverse results for concentration and thermal distribution are detected for thermophoresis variable. A reduction in concentration occurs for Schmidt number. Higher Peclet number yields to microorganisms’ reduction. Entropy rate against Brinkman number is enhanced.
