Abstract

This study aims to study the impact of thermal radiation on thermo-bioconvection flow of ternary hybrid nanofluid over a sheet with heat source and thermophoresis. Thermophoretic particle deposition is a fundamental technique for transporting small particles across a temperature gradient that is essential in electrical and aero-solution engineering. This model can be used to increase the design of efficient cooling systems in microfluidic devices, biomedical applications, and lab-on-a-chip technologies by improving heat and mass transfer processes. According to environmental engineering, microorganisms help with the bioconvection process, which makes it useful for treating wastewater. In energy systems and the development of new materials, where precise control over fluid properties is crucial for performance optimization, it is also used. A shooting approach and the bvp4c technique are used to numerically solve the simplified equations and boundary conditions. Microbe profiles of ternary and hybrid nanofluids reduce with the rise in the bioconvection Peclet number.
