Abstract

In this article flow of third grade, nanofluid in presence of bioconvection by a stretched sheet is examined. Motile microorganism is addressed. Surface is subject to melting effect. Heat transfer is examined through viscous dissipation and thermal radiation. Buongiorno model elaborated nanofluid features. Uniform applied magnetic field is taken normal to the flow. Mathematical modeling of the considered problem is formulated by constructing PDEs. Such system of PDEs is then transmitted into ODEs through suitable transformations. The nonlinear (ODEs) are then tackled through ND solve (numerically). Influences of considered variables on temperature distribution, velocity profile, concentration, and microorganism density are expressed and presented graphically.
