Radiative-dissipative effects on bioconvective MHD flow in Eyring-Powell ternary nanofluids

Abstract

Eyring-Powell nanofluids have great potential for use in biomedical engineering to create more effective medical procedures and treatments due to their special properties of fluidity, efficient heat transfer, and interaction with biological systems. This study investigates bioconvection flow and its heat transfer characteristics of the magnetohydrodynamic ternary hybrid nanofluid containing silver, copper, and aluminum nanoparticles with human blood. The forced convection in a porous media, radiation, and viscous dissipation have been considered. The governing equations are reduced to dimensionless partial differential equations and further simplified using the local non-similarity method to obtain ordinary differential equations, which were solved numerically using the BVP4C algorithm. The results indicate that the concentration profiles reduce with inertia coefficients and Schmidt numbers, while radiation parameters increase the surface temperature. A higher Lewis number accelerates thermal diffusion, in contrast to mass diffusion. Fast dissipation of temperature prevents microbial growth and is useful in applications dealing with medicine administration and wound healing. These results support existing research and provide recommendations for further improvement of industrial and biological processes. As the \(M\) rises from \(0.1\) to \(1,\) the Nusselt number declines as follows: for \(Ag\) by around \(4.48\%-2.82\%\), for \(Ag+Cu\) by \(13.57\%, -7.58\%\) and for \(Ag+Cu+Al\) by \(17.21\%-12.53\%\). The Nusselt number increases around \(1.01\%-1.64\%\) as \(\lambda\) rises from \(0.1\) to \(0.3\) for \(Ag\), for \(Ag+Cu\) by the Nusselt number increases by \(6.77\%-13.80\%\) and for \(Ag+Cu+Al\) by \(13.84\%-15.10\%\). The article proposes non-similar transformations for solving complex problems on the movement of ternary nanofluids. This provides insight into medical applications such as drug delivery and diagnostic tools and advances nanofluidic dynamics in healthcare.
