Abstract
In this present article, the influence of MHD flow of a non-Newtonian Casson nanoliquid conveying gyrotactic microorganisms over a moving wedge with thermal radiation, thermophoresis and Brownian motion are reported. The basis boundary layer equations of momentum, energy, nanoparticle concentration and density of motile microorganisms, which are nonlinear PDE’s, are transformed into a nonlinear ODE’s through a set of similarity variables. The renovated equations are solved analytically using the Homotopy Perturbation Method (HPM). The analytical results are validated with the numerical results using shooting method also compared with available literature as a limiting case. The impact of salient parameters of the Casson nanoliquid are illustrated with several graphs and tables.
