Abstract
Under the effect of magneto-hydrodynamic (MHD) conditions including thermophoresis, gyrotactic microbes, Brownian motion and nanofluid particles, this work investigates the steady flow of a three-dimensional, viscous, electrically conducting, non-Newtonian Maxwell fluid along a bidirectional stretching sheet composed of porous material. Simplified to non-linear ordinary differential equations (ODEs), the governing equations are numerically solved using MATLAB® bvp4c. While their effects on the local Sherwood number, frictional drag coefficient, local Nusselt number and local microbe count are given in tabular form, their effects on temperature, velocity, microorganisms and concentration are graphically illustrated. Results of the research show that improving bioconvection Lewis and Peclet numbers as well as microbe differential parameter reduce the profiles of microorganisms.
