Abstract
The performance of friction drag, heat transfer rate, and mass transfer is illustrated the in boundary layer flow region via density of motile microorganisms. Magnetic dipole in presence of Curie temperature and density of motile microorganisms plays important role in stabilizing and controlling the momentum and thermal boundary layers. In this direction, the characteristics of the magnetic dipole on the suspensions of motile microorganisms in the flow of ferrofluid are incorporated. Heat flux in the suspensions of motile microorganisms and at the surface is computed via Fourier's law of heat conduction. Characteristics of sundry physical parameter on the ferrohydrodynamic, thermal energy, mass transfer, and bioconvection are computed numerically and analytically. It is depicted that an enhancement in thermal Rayleigh number results in the reduction of friction drag, thereby enhances the heat transfer rate and Sherwood number at the surface, while the local density of motile microorganisms enhance for larger values of bioconvection Lewis number. Further, it is characterized that bioconvection Rayleigh number has increasing behavior on the heat transfer in the boundary layer. Comparison with available results are found in an excellent agreement.
