This research work presents the entropy analysis of the three-dimensional bioconvection flow of nanofluid over a linearly moving plate in the presence of magnetic effects. Nanoparticles and microorganisms have been considered in the fluid, with the magnetic field acting in the transverse direction to the plate. The viscous dissipation term is also considered in the energy equation. The partial differential equations (PDEs) of the boundary layer region of this problem are transformed with suitable non-similarity transformations into a system of nonlinear PDEs. Afterward, the local non-similarity method via the BVP4c MATLAB algorithm with a second level of truncation delivers a solution of the problem. The effect of important parameters such as magnetic field, Eckert number, thermophoresis, Prandtl number, Peclet number, Brownian motion, Schmidt number, Brinkman number, Lewis number, slip factor on temperature distribution, concentration of nanofluid, density of motile microorganisms, and entropy generation are shown in the graphical profiles. |
