Triple stratification effects on bioconvective stagnation point flow pertaining carbon nanotubes due to induced magnetic field

Abstract

The bioconvective stagnation point flow involving carbon nanotubes along a lengthening sheet subject to induced magnetic field and multiple stratification effects has been considered for investigation. Relevant similarity formulas are effectuated in converting the modelled equations into a first-order system of ODEs and are further treated in MATLAB using ODE45 and Newton Raphson method. Illustrations on the consequence of effectual parameters on the physical quantities and the flow profiles are achieved with the aid of graphs. It is observed that the nanofluid temperature profile ascends with augmenting volume fraction and Eckert number. The numerical veracity of the present study is displayed through a restrictive study with prior published works and a commendable agreement is noted. Nusselt number is found to elevate with volume fraction and lower with thermal stratification parameter. Moreover, the findings of the present numerical exploration have applications in biomedical imaging, hyperthermia, targeted drug delivery, and cancer therapy.
