Abstract
Nanofluids are emerging as a revolutionary replacement for traditional cooling agents. In addition to this, the motile microorganism helps to stabilize the nanofluid. In this direction, the present investigation addressed Casson fluid flow immersed with gyrotactic microorganisms due to an inclined surface. This flow is controlled by incorporating magnetic forces and restricted to passing through porous media. The influence of the chemical activities and heat convection is examined to complete the mathematical description of the flow situation. The total energy involvement is obtained by the addition of resistive heating and viscous dissipation terms in the energy equation. The current flow situation of equations of said physical condition is renovated into the ordinary differential equations (ODEs) with the implementation of proper similarity variables. The numerical solution is developed with the Runge-Kutta scheme. Graphical illustration for respective physical parameters is obtained via MATLAB. The numerical discussion of the present work is validated with previously published literature. The flow motion is controlled by strengthening the magnetic strength. Boost in the Schmidt number and bioconvection Schmidt number reduces the boundary layer thickness.
