Entropy analysis on the bioconvective peristaltic flow of gyrotactic microbes in Eyring-Powell nanofluid through an asymmetric channel

The educational value of nanofluids in several industrial and biological sectors, particularly in fluid movement systems known as peristalsis, has piqued researchers' interest in studying the peristaltic movement of nanofluids. Additionally, nanoparticles have crucial roles in many engineering and manufacturing processes, including those involving heat exchangers, cooling systems, boilers, MEMS, chemical engineering, laser diode arrays, and cool automotive engines. Various studies have been conducted on this subject. This is done by looking at how migratory gyrotactic microorganisms migrate through an artery that is anisotropically narrowing in a blood-based nanofluid that is non-Newtonian. To comprehend, the Powell-Eyring fluid model is used how the blood's rheology differs from that of a Newtonian fluid. Both Newtonian fluid characteristics and non-Newtonian traits can be seen in this fluid pattern. Equations for continuity, temperature, motile microbes, momentum, and concentration are used to create the mathematical formulation. The series solutions, which are produced using perturbation theory solutions are discussed using graphs for all dominant parameters. Discussion also includes the distribution of temperature, velocity, and swimming microorganisms. Additionally, the effects of wall shear stress, the Nusselt and Sherwood numbers, as well as the phenomena of trapping, are all examined in detail and shown in the graphs. Entropy generation analyses have also been undertaken. The investigation also reveals a crucial behaviour in the use of the heart-lung engine for extracorporeal blood circulation in medicine that may have an impact on the damage of red blood cells as a result of the large fluctuation in wall shear stress. When liquids are transported using arthro pumps and roller pumps in living organs, the results are likewise of significant use. The results are very helpful for executing particle movements in cardiac surgery and may be applicable to the fluid peristaltic pump used in haemodialysis.
