Abstract

This study describes the Casson (a non-Newtonian fluid) nanofluid bioconvection flow across a spinning disc in the presence of gyrotactic microorganisms, many slips and thermal radiation. Also, the flow is considered as a reversible flow. The esterification process is taken into account. Using the proper variables, a system of extremely nonlinear PDEs is converted into a system of ODEs. To arrive to the solution of such equations, a numerical approach is used. Using the bvp4c approach, nonlinear flow equations can be numerically solved. Investigated are the effects of different numbers on the thermal field, volumetric concentration of nanoparticles and microbiological field. The key characteristics of the parameters in relation to the profiles of the velocity, temperature, concentration and microorganisms are graphically assessed with appropriate physical effects. A graphical explanation is provided for the wall shear stress, local Nusselt number, local Sherwood number and local motile density number. Rate of motile density number shows a prominent difference between reversible and irreversible flows for Brownian motion and Peclet number. The results of the theoretical simulations have dynamic applications in the fields of biotechnology and thermal engineering.
