Abstract
AbstractThe fluid flow between the rotating disk has wide range of applications and are used in medical equipment's, car brake system, gas turbines, manufacturing of glass and plastic films. Inspired from these applications, we scrutinized the behavior of an axisymmetric expansion–contraction rotating disk on three‐dimensional flow of hybrid nanoparticles in the presence of microorganisms. Here, we considered copper and silica nanoparticles suspended in base fluid water. It is known that, the inequality of concentration in chemically reactive species affecting mass transfer mechanism and activation energy plays an important role in increasing the production speed of chemical reactions. Hence, the Arrhenius activation energy and chemical reaction effects are added in the mass equation. Autorelated transformations were adopted to reduce PDE's to ODE's and then, we utilized the RKF‐45 by adopting shooting skill to solve reduced ODE's. The analysis of rate of heat and mass transfer is done through graphs. Furthermore, change in velocity, thermal and concentration profiles for various nondimensional parameters are deliberated briefly by using suitable plots. Result reveals that rise in wall expansion/contraction parameter supports up the velocity gradients, higher the values of bioconvection Peclet number and concentration difference parameter declines the microorganism profile and Nusselt number decreases for rise in values of thermophoresis parameter.
