Hall current effect in bioconvection Oldroyd-B nanofluid flow through a porous medium with Cattaneo-Christov heat and mass flux theory

Bioconvection due to microorganisms is important area of research, considerably importance for environment and sustainable fuel cell technologies. Buongiorno nanofluid model for Cattaneo-Christov heat and mass flux theory taken into account the Oldroyd-B nanofluid and gyrotactic microorganisms in a rotating system with the effects of Hall current, and Darcy porous medium is scrutinized. The constitutive equations of the problem are transformed into nondimensional equations with the help of similarity transformations. Homotopy analysis method is used to obtain the solution. Graphs and table support the comprehesive representation of the achieved results. Radial velocity is reduced with the increasing values of relaxation time, retardation time and magnetic field parameters while heat transfer is augmented with thermal relaxation time parameter. The nanoparticles concentration is reduced with the increasing values of Schmidt number and the gyrotactic microorganisms concentration is enhanced with the increasing values of Peclet number. A nice agreement is obtained while comparing the present results numerically with the published results. The proposed mathematical model is used in biochemical engineering, meteorology, power and transportation production, optoelectronic and sensing microfabrication.
