چکیده

A numerical study of MHD nanofluid flow with gyrotactic microorganisms due to a stretching sheet embedded in a porous media is presented. The governing nonlinear Partial Differential Equations (PDEs) are transformed into corresponding ordinary ones through a power tool of similarity transformation. Impressions of important parameters on physical measures through tables as well as figures are discussed. The applied magnetic field tends to rise the shear stress while reducing the rates of heat transfer, nanoparticle volume fraction, and density of microorganisms. The porous medium causes a reduction in velocity distribution while it grows other measures like temperature, nanoparticle volume fraction, and microorganism’s density. The present work has various applications in industry, technology, and biosciences.
