Abstract

In this paper, reaction of magnetic field and activation energy is applied on nanoparticles and swimming gyrotactic microorganisms under the viscous dissipation is inspecting. The effect of thermophoresis and Brownian motion is also considered. The PDEs are naturalized into ODEs by using similarity transformations. To solving the PDEs by using RK-Fehlberg with shooting approach by MATLAB software. The effect of magnetic parameter, Schmidt number, Prandtl number, Brownian motion, thermophoresis, Peclet number, porosity parameter, on velocity, temperature, concentration, motile microorganism density portrait is in detailed it is discussed and the eventualities are demonstrated in graphs. The effects of these factors on Nusselt number, skin friction coefficient, Sherwood number and density number of motile microorganisms are concluded using tabular form.
