Abstract
The progressed thermal features nano-materials with utilization of activation energy, thermal radiation and applied magnetic force allow an improved heat and mass transfer performance in various era of engineering, industries and technological processes. The energy production with cheap resources plays a renewable role in the countries industrial growth. This task has been effectively achieved with consideration of thermally enhanced nanoparticles. Moreover, the bioconvection phenomenon in nano-materials attributes a novel bio-technology applications like bio-sensors, enzymes, petroleum industry, bio-fuels and many more. Owing to such assistive a applications of nano-particles and bioconvection phenomenon, the investigation aim to analyze the rheological consequences of Maxwell nanofluid along with swimming of gyrotactic microorganisms configured by a Riga surface. The thermal radiation impact in form of nonlinear relations and activation energy influence are utilized in the energy and concentration equations, respectively. The convective-Nield boundary conditions help to determine the solution of governing equations. The numerical scheme namely shooting technique has been employed for the dimensionless equation's solution procedure. The influence of flow parameters achieved via formulations of equations is graphically underlined along with suitable physical justifications. The key observations for heat, mass and microorganism's transportations are summarized.
