Abstract

The thermal conductivity of nanofluids (NFs) has emerged as a critical area of research due to its potential to enhance heat transfer in various industrial applications. Non-Newtonian NFs, in particular, exhibit unique flow characteristics under the influence of magnetic fields, making them suitable for systems requiring precise control of fluid dynamics, such as cooling systems in electronics and energy sectors. Owing to its usage, this article presents the magneto-Marangoni convective flow for fluid (phase-I), particle (phase-II), and propagation in tangent hyperbolic NF (copper–ethanol) containing maximum cell swimming speed. This study aims to evaluate the thermal conductivity of magnetized non-Newtonian NFs mixed with dusty particles in the presence of thermal radiation, exploring how magnetic fields and particle interactions affect overall thermal performance. The Gegenbauer wavelet collocation-based scheme was utilized to solve the model and investigate physical attributes such as plate friction, Nusselt number, Sherwood number, and mass flux. The results indicate that the species reaction field is increased by activation energy, whereas it is reduced by chemical reaction. Also, increasing values of thermal radiation tend to improve the heat distribution.

1 Introduction

Non-Newtonian fluids are a class of fluids that deviate from the typical behavior of Newtonian fluids, where the viscosity remains constant regardless of applied shear stress. Unlike water or air, which flow uniformly under stress, non-Newtonian fluids exhibit varying viscosities depending on the force or deformation applied. This unique behavior makes them highly relevant in both industrial and biological processes. Examples of non-Newtonian fluids include substances such as toothpaste, blood, and polymer solutions, which can either thicken or thin when subjected to stress. Their flow behavior is typically categorized into several types, including shear thinning (pseudoplastic), shear thickening (dilatant), and viscoplastic fluids. The study of non-Newtonian fluids is essential in fields like biomedical engineering, chemical processing, and materials science, where understanding their complex flow properties can significantly enhance applications like drug delivery, lubrication, and food production [1,2]. Many researchers have formulated and discussed different models of non-Newtonian fluids in the literature because of the inability to compress their properties in one constitutive model. For instance, the micropolar model was investigated by Gasmi et al. [3] and Obalalu et al. [4], the Eyring–Powell model was analyzed by Akram et al. [5] and Aziz et al. [6], the tangent hyperbolic model was evaluated by Ramesh et al. [7] and Obalalu et al. [8], the Williamson model was explored by Nimmy et al. [9] and Shah et al. [10], the Casson fluid model was discussed by Kumar et al. [11] and Alqarni et al. [12], etc. The essential characteristics and usefulness of the tangent hyperbolic fluid have distinguished it from these models. Regarding rheological properties, it represents a shear-thinning type of non-Newtonian fluid in which the viscosity declines as the shear rates increase. The usefulness spans many engineering and manufacturing sectors, like food processing, manufacturing, drugs, paints, cosmetics, and pharmaceuticals. Following its manifold applications, Ullah et al. [13] applied the Lie group analysis and the shooting numerical method to discuss magnetized tangent hyperbolic fluid experiencing heat source and slip effects. The authors showed that the velocity deteriorates with a higher value of the Weissenberg number, magnetic field, and power-law exponent terms. Obalalu et al. [14] studied the stagnation point flow of a tangent hyperbolic fluid induced by a nonlinear expansive sheet with features of magnetic field, non-uniform heat source, chemical reaction, and activation energy. The authors reported an enhanced skin friction coefficient due to amplification in the power-law index and magnetic field terms. Roja et al. [15] presented a theoretical analysis that reveals the flow, heat, and mass transfer of the tangent hyperbolic fluid confined in a moving sheet with bioconvection and nonlinear thermal radiative flux. The study reported an enhanced heat transfer due to the growth in the magnitude of the thermal radiative flux. Ibrahim [16] presented the flow dynamics of this fluid concept with heat transmission over an expanding sheet incorporating the magnetic field effect, thermal radiation, and convective heat at the boundary wall. The numerical evaluation exhibited a depleted skin frictional coefficient due to the escalation of the Weissenberg number but the power-law exponent causes an enlargement in the skin frictional factor. Tanuja et al. [17] recently analyzed the contributions of broad engineering parameters, like Joule heating, chemical reactions, and activation energy, on a Riga plate using a tangent hyperbolic fluid. The study portrayed the velocity profile as a decreasing function of the power-law exponent term, Hartmann and Weissenberg numbers. In real-life situations, however, fluids in their pure form are rare because there are dust particles and impurities contained in them, which are of practical importance in many fields [18].

Dusty fluids, also known as two-phase or particle-laden flows, involve the suspension of dust particles or other solid elements within a fluid medium. These systems are characterized by the interaction between the fluid and the dispersed particles, where both phases influence the overall behavior of the flow. Such interactions are critical in various industrial, environmental, and engineering applications, including air pollution control, chemical processing, and combustion systems. The dynamics of dusty fluids are governed by complex phenomena such as drag, particle inertia, and thermophoretic effects, making their study important for optimizing processes involving particulate matter in fluids [19,20]. Researchers have found that suspended dust particles enhance heat transfer by increasing thermal conductivity. These invaluable uses have encouraged researchers to study their properties in various configurations for various applications. For instance, Santosh et al. [21] investigated the motion and heat distribution of a Carreau fluid, which contains suspended dust particles passing through an exponentially expansive material device subject to non-uniform heat sources, radiation, and slip effects. Jalil et al. [22] showed analytically the flow properties of a magnetized dusty fluid over an expansive sheet without considering the heat transfer aspects. Shankaralingappa et al. [23] analyzed the heat propagation of a tangent hyperbolic fluid consisting of suspended dusty items in a linearly stretched device. Heat distribution in the material device was analyzed using the Cattaneo–Christov function coupled with the Darcy–Forchheimer porosity phenomenon. Mahdy and Hoshoudy [24] established a two-phase mixed convective formulation of a tangent hyperbolic dusty fluid over a nonlinear expansive sheet. Their numerical analysis revealed that the dusty phase's velocity profiles decrease as the dust particles' mass concentration increases.

Marangoni fluid flows, also referred to as surface tension-driven flows, arise from gradients in surface tension along a fluid interface. These gradients can be caused by temperature variations (thermocapillary) or concentration differences (soluto-capillary), leading to fluid motion as the system seeks to equalize the surface tension. Marangoni flows play a critical role in a variety of natural and industrial processes, such as in crystal growth, thin-film formation, and the behavior of liquid droplets. Understanding these flows is essential for optimizing processes where precise control of surface properties and fluid dynamics is required. This phenomenon was extensively discussed in previous studies [25,26,27]. Other usage areas include biomedical engineering, coating engineering and technology, paint emulsion rheology, foams, and microfluidics formation. Rashid et al. [28] analyzed the Marangoni fluid’s flow dynamics and heat transfer processes containing minute nanoparticles (NPs) in a porous device subject to surface mass flux via homotopy analysis. Elbashbeshy et al. [29] analyzed such a phenomenon numerically via the Galerkin–Legendre method over a circular porous material incorporating chemical reaction, heat source, and activation energy in the model equations. Khan et al. [30] discussed Marangoni convective hybrid nanofluid (NF) flow with entropy generation analysis and activation energy. Furthermore, at high operating temperatures, the impact of radiative heat transfer becomes essential for designing useful gadgets applicable to engineering processes for advanced energy conversion purposes. There is a great link between the temperature distribution of the fluid and thermal radiation influence. Thus, it is necessary to incorporate the radiative heat transfer phenomenon in processes like nuclear power plants, heat exchangers, and astrophysical streams. Kumar et al. [31] have reported an enhanced heat distribution due to the higher values of the thermal radiation when studying the flow dynamics of NFs on a vertically extending sheet. Obalalu et al. [32] showed that the surface heat profiles increase due to amplification in the magnitude of thermal radiation coupled with magnetic field and Eckert numbers. Daniel et al. [33] calculated the effects of thermal radiation alongside Joule and viscous heating and chemical reaction on the electro-magneto-hydrodynamic NF flow. The temperature of the nanoliquid and the thermal bounding surface is reported to expand due to a hike in thermal radiation. However, in the items reviewed above on dusty fluids, the researchers have restricted those studies to constant fluid properties without considering variable thermophysical properties of the fluid, which can occur due to temperature variations.

Temperature variation significantly impacts the thermophysical properties of a fluid, influencing its behavior in various applications. Two key properties affected by temperature are viscosity and thermal conductivity. Viscosity, which measures a fluid's resistance to flow, typically decreases as temperature increases, leading to less friction between fluid layers. Conversely, thermal conductivity, the ability of a fluid to transfer heat, often increases with temperature, enhancing heat transport efficiency. Understanding the interplay between temperature and these properties is crucial in fields such as heat exchanger design, industrial cooling, and energy-efficient fluid systems. Postelnicu et al. [34] and Cebeci and Bradshaw [35] reiterated that such an assumption is invalid in many systems. The authors noted a decline of about 240% in water viscosity for a rise in temperature of 80%. In contrast, air viscosity values assumes 0.000006924, 1.3289, 2.286, and 3.625 when the temperature is 1,000, 2,000, 4,000, and 8,000 K, respectively. Akram et al. [5] inspected a boundary layer transport of a magnetized micropolar fluid featuring thermal-dependent fluid characteristics. Akbar et al. [36] employed the shooting procedure, a numerical technique to evaluate the impact of a non-Newtonian fluid's variable fluid properties triggered by a three-dimensional extending sheet. Mottupalle et al. [37] investigated variable thermophysical attributes of a fluid over a moving plate with a dual-diffusive mixed convection type, chemical reaction, Joule, and viscous heating. Taj et al. [38] assessed the impact of thermal radiation on a mixed convective transport of tangent hyperbolic fluid experiencing thermal-dependent viscosity and thermal conductivity featuring Arrhenius chemical reaction over an extending surface. Other relevant works related to variable thermophysical properties of the fluid can be found in previous studies [39,40]. However, none of the aforementioned studies have discussed a two-phase Marangoni convective flow featuring variable viscosity and thermal conductivity despite the numerous engineering applications derivable from such an investigation. Solar radiation assisted with natural convection in a uniform porous medium supported by a vertical flat plate analyzed by Krishna et al. [41]. Natural convective boundary layer flows over a horizontal plate embedded in a porous medium saturated with an NF was analyzed by Gorla and Chamkha [42]. Mixed convective boundary layer flows over a vertical wedge embedded in a porous medium saturated with an NF were analyzed by Gorla et al. [43]. EMHD flow of radiative second-grade NF over a Riga plate due to convective heating: revised Buongiorno’s NF models were examined by Gangadhar et al. [44]. Hydromagnetic three-dimensional free convection on a vertical stretching surface with heat generation or absorption was examined by Chamkha [45]. Hydromagnetic natural convection from an isothermal inclined surface adjacent to a thermally stratified porous medium was studied by Chamkha [46]. Hydromagnetic combined heat and mass transfer by natural convection from a permeable surface embedded in a fluid-saturated porous medium were analyzed by Chamkha and Khaled [47].

1.1 Problem statement

Despite the increased attention on heat transport along a sheet close to a stagnation point, previous researchers have not yet explored the magneto-Marangoni convective flow discussed in this current study. Motivated by the significance of the stagnation point and the benefits of dusty tangent hyperbolic NF flow in enhancing the thermal transport process, the present research aims to investigate the convective flow driven via magneto-Marangoni forces in a dusty NF consisting of copper particles dispersed in ethanol, flowing over a surface. The study includes investigating the influences of Dufour–Soret effects, temperature-dependent heat source, thermophoresis-induced particle deposition, chemical reaction, activation energy, variable thermal conductivity and viscosity, and gyrotactic micro-organisms. This study introduces the innovative use of dusty tangent hyperbolic NF (copper–ethanol) under the influence of the magneto-Marangoni convective mechanism. The combined inclusion of a dusty phase (particle–fluid interaction) and tangent hyperbolic rheological behavior has not been widely explored in existing research. The novelty lies in demonstrating how this combination can enhance heat transfer, momentum distribution, and mass transport for industrial applications. Numerical solutions are obtained using the Gegenbauer wavelets collocation-based scheme and computed numerically using mathematical software, while various tables and figures have been constructed to showcase the relevance of the parameters involved in the flow, heat, and mass transfer. Therefore, given the numerous engineering applications, the current study aims to fill a significant gap in the literature by investigating the dynamics of a two-phase dusty fluid flow, heat propagation, and mass transfer of the Marangoni convective transport mechanism using a magnetized tangent hyperbolic NF containing microorganisms. The broad engineering applications of the magnetized tangent hyperbolic fluid coupled with the Marangoni fluid flows and dusty fluids have inspired this study. This research can potentially revolutionize thermal electronic management, surface coating and printing phenomenon, materials processing, biomedical engineering, and energy systems. Thus, this research has a compelling and novel contribution to the field of thermal engineering.

1.2 Why the use of the Gegenbauer wavelet collocation-based scheme (GWCBS)

The GWCBS was chosen for this study because of its impressive track record in previous research. The numerical method was introduced in the investigation of a problem with a three-dimensional NF bio-convection model by Usman et al. [48]. The first research paper [49] published with the Gegenbauer wavelet collocation-based technique was about speed flow distribution and thermal and mass transport of rotating NFs containing Ag, Cu, Al2O3, TiO2, and CuO in the presence of a magnetic field; subsequently, this technique was capable of implementing the coupled nonlinear ordinary differential equations well and numerically solve relatively more accurate compared to past techniques. The Gegenbauer wavelet collocation-based technique has been applied in numerous studies involving different physics models and geometries, demonstrating superior accuracy in solving the governing equations when compared to alternative methods, as evidenced in previous studies [50,51].

2.3 Physical quantities of the NFs and BF

The thermophysical quantities within the momentum and temperature field equations play an important function in determining the heat utilization efficiency and flow properties of NFs. The thermophysical properties are influenced by particular attributes of both dispersed NPs and the surrounding fluid. The diverse characteristics of these features make it impossible to predict them using a universal mathematical expression. Therefore, it is necessary to establish distinct relationships to accurately estimate each of these characteristics. Several theoretical models are put forward in the literature for a single aspect, and these models are confirmed through experimental testing. The focus of this section is to explore fundamental mathematical relationships concerning the spread of single NPs, followed by expanding these relationships to include the NPs. In this present work, ethanol is considered a BL, and copper (Cu) is the NP. However, utilizing copper NPs suspended in ethanol as a fundamental water presents many advantages, remarkably in fields like employing NFs for increasing thermal transport and lubrication purposes of engineering and industrial uses. The physical quantities of the NFs are listed as follows [28]:

Viscosity: μ nf = μ f ( 1 ) 2.5 , μ nf = β 1
Density: ρ nf = ϕ ρ nf ρ f ( 1 ϕ ) ρ nf = β 2
Electrical conductivity: σ nf σ f = ( σ s 1 ( 1 + ( s 1 ) ϕ ) ( s 1 ) σ f ( 1 ϕ ) σ s 1 + ( s 1 ) k f + σ s 1 ( ( s 1 ) + ϕ ) σ nf σ f = β 3
Thermal conductivity: k nf k f = ( k s 1 + ( s 1 ) k f ) ( s 1 ) ( k f k s 1 ) ( k s 1 + ( s 1 ) k f ) + ϕ ( k f k s 1 ) k nf k f = β 4

5.1 Wavelets and Gegenbauer wavelets scheme (WGWS)

Recently, there have been numerous alterations made to methods based on wavelets. The focus of this study is on presenting a novel enhancement to the original WGWS by incorporating the Galerkin scheme. The proposed method offers a fundamental benefit compared to the WGWS by decreasing the amount of computational effort required. The diagram illustrating the algorithm under consideration is shown in Figure 1b. The following steps outline a user-friendly, straightforward, and simple method as proposed.

To examine the collection of constants Ψ 0 r , Ψ 1 r , Ψ 3 r , r = 1, 2, 3, it is necessary to create a system of algebraic equations. Consequently, we will utilize the specified collocation point to align equations (54)–(61) accordingly:

6 Results and discussion

The following section shows graphical results demonstrating the influences of all important parameters. The ranges of the parameters are given as 0.1 M 0.3, 0.2 Ma 0.6, 0.5 Ma 1.5, 0.5 We 1.5, 2 Nr 6, 2 Ec 6, 1.5 Q e 3.0, 1.5 Q t 3.0, 2 D u 6, 1.0 λ 1.5, 2 Rc 6, 3 E 7, and 0.1 Lb 0.3, 0.4 Pe 0.6. The skin friction values ( C fx ) for various values of Ma, β m , We , and L are presented in Table 4. When the values of L increase, the viscosity of the liquid also improves, which leads to an increased C fx . The increase in the β m parameter results in improved interaction between the liquid and particles, causing an increase in the drag force and a greater C fx . As shown in Table 4, both Ma and L increase the rate of heat transfers.

Magnetic field (M): The speed flow distribution q ( χ ) is influenced by different magnetic field (M) values, as illustrated by the six curves in Figure 2a. The intensity of the magnetic field increases when the values of the magnetic field are 0.1, 0.2, and 0.3. Therefore, q ( χ ) and P ( χ ) decrease as the M parameter increases for both the fluid phases (FPs) and DPs, as shown in Figure 2a. The Lorentz drag force, induced via a magnetic field, operates against the movement of both FP and DP. q ( χ ) for both FP and DP reduce as M raises due to the opposing force that restricts the movement of the phases. The FP is classically less dense compared to the DP. The inertia of the DP is more significant than that of the FP due to the elevated density of the DP compared to the FP. To modify the speed of the particle, a greater force is needed when the inertia is raised. Therefore, the effect of M on the decelerated heavier DP is less important than its impact on lighter FP. Physically, q ( χ ) of both FP and DP are reduced via the M parameter by the influence of the Lorentz force [41,42]. The FP encounters a substantial reduction in q ( χ ) and P ( χ ) compared to the DP, as the lowered movement of the liquid weakens the drag force that acts on the DP.

Marangoni ratio parameter (Ma): The Marangoni ratio parameter (Ma) is generally described as a quantity of dimension that compares the rate of transfer caused via Marangoni flows to the speed of diffusion transfer. Figure 2b reveals how improving the Ma increases q ( χ ) for both FP and DP. By increasing Ma, q ( χ ) and P ( χ ) for both FP and DP increase. This is attributed to the intense surface tension gradients linked with a higher Ma, which in turn drives the movement of the liquid. The FP exhibits a higher velocity profile compared to the DP due to two primary factors. DP is commonly smaller than the FP. Therefore, it possesses superior inertia, making it more challenging to speed up to match the speed of the FP. Physically, the influence of the Marangoni ratio parameter can be employed in oil extraction to boost the effectiveness of recovering heavy oil, thereby strengthening the extraction rates [4345].

Weissenberg number (We): The Weissenberg number, a dimensionless quantity in rheology, indicates the ratio between the time required for elastic relaxation and the distinctive time scale of the flow. However, it signifies how substantial elastic forces are in relation to viscous forces within a fluid system. When We is significantly above 1, it indicates that the liquid demonstrates elastic features. On the other hand, when the We is significantly below 1, it signifies viscous performance in the fluid. Figure 2c shows q ( χ ) and P ( χ ) corresponding to various values of We. When We increases, the p ( χ ) of the FP becomes more uniform. The liquid encounters a decrease in the rate at which shear occurs. The elevated elasticity of the liquid at higher We is the reason behind this occurrence. Liquids that are elastic have a tendency to resist changes in shape when subjected to shear forces, resulting in a more consistent spread of speed throughout the boundary layer flow. The DP of the velocity profile q ( χ ) becomes sharper as We increases. This signifies an elevated shear rate in the DP. Physically, the DP experiences an improved shear rate due to the shear force created via this resistance. Additionally, the power law index has the ability to elucidate two different types of fluids: those that demonstrate pseudoplastic performance (when the index is less than 1) and those that show dilatant features (when the index is greater than 1). The speed flow distribution reduces with increasing values of n connected with shear thinning performance. When the values of the variable We increase, the temperatures of both the NF and DPs also increase (Figure 2d). As the concentration of NPs in a tangent hyperbolic fluid increases, the resistance and fluid temperature also increase [46,47].

Thermal radiation (Nr) and Eckert number (Ec): Thermal radiation refers to the electromagnetic radiation released due to the thermal movement of particles within a substance. Thermal radiation does not influence φ ( χ ) and φ p ( χ ) . The fluid system experiences an increase in temperature ( φ ( χ ) ) due to the occurrence of thermal radiation. The impact of thermal radiation on the profiles φ ( χ ) and ϑ p ( χ ) for both FPs and DPs is depicted in Figure 3a. When the thermal distribution increases, φ ( χ ) also increases. The thermal radiation heat transport becomes dominant over conductive heat transport with increasing values of Nr = 2, 4 ,6. When there is an intensified transmission of heat via thermal radiation, it can indeed result in an improvement of the thermal distribution. In reality, a larger amount of heat emitted through thermal radiation indicates a higher level of radiation in comparison to convection. The increase can be explained by the transformation of heat radiation into electromagnetic energy, resulting in a widening of the spectrum of surface-emitted radiation. Hence, it is significant to consider Nr when investigating the temperature of the fluid within the system. As a result, the FPs exhibit a greater fluid temperature compared to the DPs. The correlation between the kinetic energy and enthalpy of the flow is distinguished via the Ec. The process described involves creating internal energy by exerting pressure on the forces within a fluid system. As a result of the amplified heat dissipation due to viscosity, the thickness of the thermal boundary layer intensified in both DP and FP (Figure 3b).

Heat source (temperature-dependent) coefficient and temperature-dependent heat source parameter: Figure 3c and 3d shows the effect of Q e and Q t on the profiles of φ ( χ ) and ϑ p ( χ ) in scenarios involving two phases. The temperature of the FP consistently exceeds that of the DP, as indicated by the curves in Figure 3c. The reason for this effect is that the FP has a larger heat capacity compared to the DP. The Q e parameter causes an increase in thermal distribution for both the DP and dust FP. φ ( χ ) increases as the value of Q t increases. This connection is attributed to the fact that Q t indicates the heat input term in the energy equations that describe thermal transport in both phases. Adding more heat to the system, indicated by an increased heat source term, leads to an increase in the temperature (Figure 3d).

Dufour number ( D u ) and variable thermal conductivity parameter ( λ ): The Dufour number quantifies how concentration gradients influence the thermal energy flow within the fluid motion. Figure 4(a) and (b) illustrate the representation of D u and λ for the fluid and DPs, respectively. The influence of Dufour is the heat flux induced by a difference in concentration. When the influence of Dufour is absent, φ ( χ ) indicates a reduction, while it shows an increase when the influence of Dufour is considered. A high Dufour number indicates that thermal diffusion (the transfer of heat due to temperature gradients) significantly influences mass diffusion (the transfer of species due to concentration gradients). The thickness of the thermal boundary layer substantially increases as the Du arises, leading to an apparent intensification of the boundary layer flow. φ ( χ ) of both the tangent hyperbolic NF and DF increase as the value of D u increases. When the λ of a variable increases, it leads to an increase in the fluid's thermal conductivity. This relationship is seen due to the greater values of λ . This behavior is shown in Figure 2.

Chemical reaction (Kr) and activation energy (E): A chemical reaction (Kc) results in changing one group of chemical substances into a different set. When Kc takes place, the atoms experience rearrangement, leading to the formation of new products along with a change in energy. Figure 5(a) and (b) demonstrates how activation energy and chemical reaction affect the profiles mass concentration profile for both the FP and DP, respectively. When Kc increases, ϑ ( χ ) and ϑ p ( χ ) of FP and DP decreases accordingly. This indicates that an improved rate of reaction results in more reactants being used up, causing a reduction in the mass concentration. Physically, a greater concentration of the FP is expected due to the smaller surface area of DP. This effect reveals that the FP steadily maintains a greater concentration than the DP. The activation energy in the Arrhenius model for reaction rates signifies the smallest energy t required by reactants to initiate a Kr. Mathematically, it is expressed as E = Ea K T x . Figure 5(b) illustrates that the concentration increases as activation energy improves. The Arrhenius equation mathematically shows that when a Kr slows down due to a decrease in temperature, the effect on ϑ ( χ ) and ϑ p ( χ ) becomes more pronounced (Table 5).

Bioconvection Peclet number (Pe) and Lewis number (Lb): The distribution profiles of the microorganism are illustrated in Figure 6a to show the effect of Pe. When the effect of diffusion is more significant than advection, there is a lower value, whereas a higher value indicates that advection plays a more significant role in promoting movement. The investigation of free-flowing microorganisms is primarily induced via the bioconvection Peclet number. The bioconvection Peclet number, a dimensionless parameter, is employed to examine biological convection, specifically in the field of fluid dynamics within living organisms. The ratio between the highest speed at which a cell can move and the rate at which microorganisms diffuse is known as the Peclet number (Pe). It was observed that the distribution profiles of the microorganism for both FP and DP decreased. Furthermore, the outcome for Lewis number (Lb) values for bioconvection is shown by distinct lines in Figure 6b. The Lewis number for bioconvection is a dimensionless quantity that illustrates the connection between the diffusion rate of microorganisms and their motility. As shown in Figure 6b, a reduced bioconvection Lewis number value signifies that the microorganisms possess higher swimming ability compared to their diffusion capabilities. However, the concentration of microorganisms is consistently greater in the FP compared to the DP for all values of the bioconvection Lewis number. The physical reason for this effect is that the FP has a greater density compared to the FP, leading to a tendency for microorganisms to gather in denser phases.

7 Conclusion

This current research studies the influence of thermophoretic particle deposition and variable thermal physical properties on magnetized dusty tangent hyperbolic nanoliquid (copper–ethanol) flow with the co-existence of Soret and Dufour effects. The current article also employed the activation energy and magneto-Marangoni convective model near a stagnation point. The key findings of this study can be outlined as follows:

  • φ ( χ ) and φ p ( χ ) increase with increasing values of Q e and Q t .

  • φ ( χ ) and φ p ( χ ) and energy transfer strength increase with increasing Nr, radiation, and Ec values.

  • Increasing values of W e increases the heat transfer and reduces the speed flow distribution.

  • The increase of Pe and LB reduces the speed of the species' reaction field.

  • Large estimate values of E increase the mass transfer profile, while the Kc parameter has the opposite influence.

  • An increase in M leads to a decrease of q ( χ ) and P ( χ ) for both FP and DP.

  • With a higher value of λ and D u parameters, φ ( χ ) and φ p ( χ ) are increased.

  • The present study is applicable in more realistic conditions, for example, biomedicine, heat exchangers, electrochemical, heating, and cooling.

7.1 Limitations of the study

Our research focuses on the effects of a single type of NP (copper) in the tangent hyperbolic fluid. The behavior of multi-type NP systems, which may have synergistic effects on thermal conductivity and viscosity, has not been explored in this study.

7.2 Future recommendations

Future studies could employ more complex geometrical models and investigate applications in real-world systems, such as industrial processes and bioengineering scenarios. Investigating the effects of non-Newtonian behavior in dusty NFs could provide valuable insights, especially in applications where shear-thinning or shear-thickening properties are significant. Future studies should expand this current research by considering different BFs to conduct an experimental investigation to validate the numerical outcomes, different shape factors of NPs, and melting heat for plaque melting.
