Description
Summary:The aim of this study is to examine the entropy generation (EG) associated with the transfer of mass and heat in a concentration-dependent fluid with thermal radiation and activation energy, specifically in the context of an unsteady Riga Plate with gyrotactic microorganism. It is important to solve the ordinary differential equations generated from the controlling partial differential equations using Lie symmetry scaling to verify their quality and reliability. The system’s anticipated physical behavior is compared to Mathematica’s Runge–Kutta–Fehlberg numerical solution. Source parameters are essential for validation since they offer accurate results. Methodically change these values as a percentage to determine how they affect the unsteady fluid’s density, mass, and heat transfer over the Riga plate. Velocity, temperature, nanoparticle concentration and microorganism concentration profiles decrease with varying values of the unsteadiness parameter. EG increases with increasing values of concentration difference, thermal radiation, and Reynold number parameters. The Nusselt number experiences a 26.11% rise as a result of radiation when the unsteadiness parameter is A=−0.25A=-0.25, in comparison with the scenario without radiation. Mass transfer upsurges with increasing values of the Brownian motion parameter and reduces with increasing values of thermophoresis parameter. To verify our conclusions, we compare calculated data, specifically the skin friction factor, to theoretical predictions. Tabular and graphical data can show how physical limits affect flow characteristics.
