description The study of flow problems related to the magnetic field, nanofluid, and microorganism are important especially in microfluidic devices. The advantages of microfluidic devices are its small size, low cost, and low consumption, especially for biological studies. The microorganisms in the nanofluid are essential to prevent nanoparticle agglomeration, to improve the stability of the nanofluids, to enhance mixing and hence enhance mass transfer in microfluidic devices. This thesis investigates the modified mathematical models to study the boundary layer flow for heat, nanoparticle mass, and microorganism transfers in the biochemical process involving microfluidic devices. Specific nanofluid flow problems under various geometries such as flow over stretchable/shrinkable rotating disk, flow between two parallel disks, flow over a vertical rotating cone, and micropolar nanofluid flow over a stretching/shrinking sheet were investigated.
