The enormous potential of nanotechnology has drawn attention to many different fields. Using nanoparticles, bio-convection has become a key phenomenon in industrial and technical applications. Nanofluids have emerged as effective solutions for addressing complex heat transfer challenges in modern engineering. This study aims to develop a comprehensive three-dimensional model of Sutterby nanofluid flow with bio-convection, investigating the effects of nonlinear thermal radiation, gyrotactic microorganisms, and magnetic fields on thermal efficiency and entropy generation. By investigating entropy optimization, chemical processes, activation energy, viscous dissipation, and magnetic field effects, the research aims to improve Sutterby nanofluid efficiency. This model reveals the dynamics of Sutterby nanofluid behavior by using partial differential equations (PDEs) and successively converted into an ordinary differential equation (ODE) system. The converted equations are solved numerically using numerical technique bvp4c. The results of analyses show relationships between the concentration of nanofluid, Biot numbers, and microorganism profiles. The results indicate that while an increase in Biot number improves microorganism profiles, an increase in Lewis and Peclet numbers decreases nanofluid concentration. Critical elements that greatly affect mass distribution, heat transmission, and flow dynamics include magnetic fields, chemical processes, and activation energy. With the help of tables, the effects of physical parameters on skin friction, Nusselt numbers, and local Sherwood numbers are thoroughly investigated. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Zinc nanoparticles, for their potential in drug delivery due to their antibacterial properties and biocompatibility when combined with Sutterby fluid suspended in the sodium alginate acts as a natural biopolymer, and this colloid delivers the drugs more effectively to target sites.The major focus of this study is on the convective and Stefan blowing boundary conditions on the two-dimensional unsteady laminar flow of magnetohydrodynamic nanofluid across a stretched sheet when there is chemical reaction, viscous dissipation, and thermal radiation.The partial differential equation system modelled for the current situation is transformed as a series of nonlinear coupled ordinary differential equations by utilizing appropriately defined transformations. The bvp4c technique is an implicit shooting scheme that solves the highly nonlinear coupled system of partial differential equations. The processing of nanomaterials at high temperatures is pertinent to the current investigation. Using diagrams and tables, the numerical findings of the steady and unsteady solutions for the wall shear stress, heat and solute transfer rates, temperature, velocity, and concentration are explained.The study showed great agreement when compared to previously available research work. It was determined that velocity and magnetic fields had an exact opposite relationship. With an increase in stretching surface temperature, the convective parameter rises. In terms of physical characteristics, the fluid's thermal conductivity rises and rises the temperature. The slow momentum gain in the stretching scenario leads to increased fluid temperature due to the interplay between friction and energy transfer. Increasing boundary layer thickness is found in the fluid velocity curves with increasing power law index values. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

To respond to the demands of modern technological processes, the employment of nanofluids to maximize energy efficiency has been a topic of interest to many scientists. The stability of such nanofluids can be appropriately enhanced with the use of gyrotactic microorganisms. In the current framework, we inspect the triple-diffusive bioconvection flow of electro-magnetized Sutterby nanofluid via an oscillatory stretchable surface with Brownian diffusion of both nanoparticles and microorganisms, thermophoresis, buoyancy, and inertial forces. With the utilization of acceptable dimensionless variables, the governed flow equations are first metamorphosed into non-dimensional form, and solutions of the resulting equations are computed using the overlapping grid spectral collocation scheme. The rationale for choosing this numerical approach is provided by computing residual errors and condition numbers. The significance of physical parameters on the quantities of engineering interest and flow profiles is discussed. The main results include that reduced surface shear stress and minimal oscillatory nature of velocity are achieved with the inclusion of porous media, inertial forces, bioconvection, and nanofluid buoyancy forces. Temperature and rate of heat transfer are upsurged with the existence of variable thermal conductivity, nonlinear radiation, and convective heat conditions, which advocate that such features promote superior heat transport within the Sutterby working fluid. Growth in solutal Dufour Lewis number increases solutal concentration while reducing solutal-mass transfer rate. Improvement in microbial Brownian diffusion parameter causes enhancement in the rate of motile microorganisms transfer and reduction in the concentration of gyrotactic microorganisms. This implies that the random motion of motile microorganisms plays a prominent role in the dynamics of microorganisms. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this article, flow behavior of magnetized Sutterby nanoliquid due to rotating permeable disk is investigated. Suspended solid nanoparticles are stabilized with the help of bioconvection and buoyancy forces. Energy and concentration relations are respectively modeled taking thermal radiation and Arrhenius energy. Additionally, binary chemical reaction in nanomaterial flow is accounted. Flow governing radiated Sutterby nanomaterial is expressed by dimensional equations using boundary layer suppositions. Using appropriate transformations, the dimensional system is altered to a nondimensional one. The nondimensional governing equations are solved via Runge–Kutta-Fehlberg method (RKF-45). The effective consequences of diverse flow regulating variables on fluid velocity, thermal field, mass concentration, and motile microorganisms density are studied via various curves. Surface drag force, heat transfer, density number, and Sherwood number are computed numerically and analyzed. It is observed that velocity components diminished versus rising Hartman number, Reynolds number, fluid material variable, and porosity parameter. Further, it is observed that chemical reaction and activation energy have opposite impacts on mass concentration. Major observations of current exploration are itemized at the end.

In this paper, we have investigated the electroosmotic-driven flow of Sutterby nanofluid under the peristaltic mechanism with the influence of a magnetic field. The flow of fluid is taken into the undulating asymmetrical microchannel. Using Debye-Hückel linearization approximation, the fluid velocity and temperature profiles were calculated. The nanofluid flow is considered in the static electric field on the horizontal side and the applied external magnetic field in the transversal direction. The flow pattern also considers thermal radiation and the Joule heating parameter. Governing fluid flow equations such as continuity, momentum and temperature equations are reduced in consideration of the long wavelength and the very tiny Reynolds number approximation. The resulting nonlinear equations are resolved numerically with the help of the built-in NDSolve function made available in the computational mathematical software MATHEMATICA. Graphical illustrations of the fluid velocity profile, temperature and Trapping phenomenon (Streamlines) have been explained in detail. It is found that increasing the values of Hartmann number velocity of the nanofluid diminishes, and the temperature of the fluid enhances. Results from the Sutterby nanofluid model might have a broad range of applications, such as cancer tissue destruction, disease diagnosis, etc. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The aim of this study must increase our understanding of heat and mass transfer in non-Newtonian Sutterby fluids, which are widely used in industries like polymer production. Especially when examined through the perspective of the Cattaneo–Christov heat flow theory, it greatly enhances diffusivity and thermal conductivity and introduces new theoretical possibilities by accounting for dynamic fluid characteristics. The impact of heat generation and absorption, mixed convection, and nonlinear thermal radiation along a stretching cylinder are all thoroughly examined in this work, which makes it significant. The convective boundary conditions are considered in this study. The formulated system of partial differential equations (PDEs) is converted into system of ordinary differential equations (ODEs) by employing appropriate similarity transformation. This adopted set of ordinary differential equation is tackled computationally utilizing the RK-Fehlberg 4th-order approach based on shooting technique. The impression of significant physical variable on thermal, velocity, heat transport, concentration, streamline, and mass transport are discussed graphically. The findings indicate that the velocity curve diminishes as the Sutterby fluid parameter increases. The thermal profile is enhanced by increasing the temperature ratio parameter and Biot number. Higher levels of the Lewis number are associated with a reversal tendency observed in the concentration profile and local Sherwood number. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Peristalsis of nanofluid is significant in cancer treatment, ulcer treatment and industrial equipment. This study simulated the MHD peristaltic transport of Sutterby nanofluid with mixed convection and Hall current. Partial slip and convective conditions are imposed for flexible channel walls. Energy and concentration equations are modeled by considering the effects of Joule heating, thermal radiation, viscous dissipation and activation energy. Buongiorno nanofluid model is employed which features thermophoresis and Brownian movement aspects. The resulting nonlinear system of equations is numerically solved after employing the large wavelength and small Reynolds number supposition. Graphical analysis for the velocity, temperature, concentration, heat transfer coefficient and entropy generation is analyzed. It is observed that velocity has opposite behavior for mixed convection parameters. Temperature and heat transfer rate enhanced for Brownian movement and thermophoresis parameters. Concentration rises against larger activation energy and radiation variables. Further entropy declines against higher diffusion parameter. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

A theoretical study is conducted for magnetohydrodynamic pumping of electroosmotic non-Newtonian physiological nanoliquids through a two-dimensional microfluidic channel. The Sutterby rheological nanofluid model is utilized to characterize the liquid. The normalized two-dimensional conservation equations for mass, longitudinal and transverse momentum, energy and solutal concentration are reduced with lubrication approximations (long wavelength and low Reynolds number assumptions). A coordinate transformation is employed to map the unsteady problem from the wave laboratory frame to a steady problem in the wave frame. Slip and convective conditions are imposed at the channel walls. The emerging boundary value problem is solved numerically using MATLAB software. The flow is effectively controlled by many geometric parameters, viz., electroosmosis, Hartmann and Sutterby fluid parameters. It is observed from the analysis that the rise in magnetic and electroosmosis effects leads to a reduction in the axial velocity field. The radiation parameter decreases the temperature for the positive value of Joule heating parameter and the trend is revered for the negative Joule heating parameter. This study is encouraged by exploring the nanofluid dynamics in peristaltic transport as symbolized by heat transport in biological flows, novel pharmacodynamics pumps and gastrointestinal motility enhancement. The study is also relevant to MHD biomimetic blood pumps. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
