UNSTEADY HEAT TRANSFER OF MAXWELL NANOFLUID-FLOW WITH THERMAL RADIATION AND BIOCONVECTIONOVER A STRETCHING SHEET MODELLING AND SIMULATION
ABSTRACT
Present analysis deals with bioconvection of MHD Maxwell nanofluid. Heat transmission under the influence of heat generation, radiation and joule heating is considered. Presence of gyrotactic microorganism is discussed. Boungiorno model is use to analyze characteristic of nanofluid through the Brownian motion and thermophersis diffusion. Related expressions are (PDE) are transform into dimensionless system. Homotopy analysis method use for getting convergence series solution. Importance of Peclet number, Prandtl number, bioconvection Lewis number, heat generation, magnetic field, radiation, thermophoresis parameter and Brownian motion for temperature, velocity, nanofluid concentration and microorganism concentration is highlighted. Velocity decay for high magnetic field. Increase bioconvection Lewis number microorganism concentration decay. Temperature decay with high escalates radiation parameter.
