Te particular inquiry is made to envision the behavioral characteristics of gyrotactic microorganism efects on the MHD fow
of Jefrey nanofuid. Together the nanoparticles and motile microorganism are inducted into the modeled nonlinear diferential
equations. Te optimal solutions for the governing equations are tackled by optimal homotopy analysis method. Te physical
characteristics of the relatable parameters are explored and deliberated in terms of graphs and numerical charts. Also, the precision
of the present fndings is certifed by equating them with the previously published work. It is explored that rescaled density of the
motile microorganisms contracts with bioconvection Peclet number . It is seen that bioconvection Rayleigh number shrinks
the magnitude of tangential velocity. Also, bioconvection Schmidt number augments the reduced density number of the motile
microorganisms.
1. Literature Survey
Non-Newtonian fuid mechanics is a subject which is essen-
tially interdisciplinary in its nature and which is also wide
in its area of application. Indeed, non-Newtonian behavior
comes across mostly in organic and allied processing engi-
neering. It is too useful in the excavating industry, where
slurries and muds are controlled, and in applications like
lubrication and biomedical fow phenomena. Te imitation
of nonlinear fuid fow occurrences is thus of signifcance to
engineering. Everyday uses of specifc fows are established
in freezing progressions where a coolant is executed on
continuously moving surface. Non-Newtonian fuids along
heat and mass transfer are correspondingly crucial in food
dispensation, heavy oils, and lubricants [1–5].
An important area of study is mixed convectional fows,
which occurs in atmospheric boundary layer fows, heat
exchangers, solar collectors, and nuclear reactors. It estab-
lishes in a condition wherever the impacts of buoyantic
forces due to forced convection turn to be considerable.
In this existing efort, a cone is placed in a nonlinear
fuid through the cone axis together with the outer fow is
explored. Heat transfer analysis with combined convective
fow about rotating cone-shaped tool is splendidly common
in automobile and biochemical productions. Hering and
Grosh [6] have conferred a variety of similarity solutions
for cone shaped bodies in detail. Anilkumar and Roy [7]
achieved the self-similar solutions for time dependent fow
over a rotating cone. Nadeem and Saleem [8] deliberated a
theoretical analysis for MHD fow above a spinning cone. Te
fow over conic shape objects has been studied by various
investigators [9–12].
In emerging world, study of nanofuids has extended
too much consideration by the investigators because of its
features to improve the thermal conductivity relative to base
fuids. It was suggested by Choi [13]. Nanofuids have been
found to possess enhanced thermos-physical properties such
as viscosity, thermal conductivity, thermal difusivity, and
