Current work focuses on increasing heat transmission in thermal systems with the incorporation of gyrotactic motile microbes, promoting the creation of structured fluids useful for bio-cooling and nanotechnology. This study explores the effects of electroosmosis and slip boundary conditions in a non-Newtonian Casson nanofluid with mass transfer. Specifically, it looks at bio-convection peristaltic events and conducts a thermodynamic analysis. The Arrhenius activation energy in an asymmetric channel is considered in this study. In addition, the authors evaluate viscous resistance, thermophoresis diffusion, porous surface properties, coupled convection, Brownian diffusion, and thermal viscosity behavior. The results obtained from mathematical expressions together with surface conditions are handled by means of a numerical algorithm implemented by means of the shooting technique through traditional program Mathematica, with the aid of its built-in tool, NDSolve. Many physical parameters, such as entropy generation, the Bejan number, velocity profiles, the density of gyrotactic motile microbes, and the accumulation profile of nanoparticles, are depicted graphically. The graphical study shows that entropy generation increases with a greater Helmholtz-Smoluchowski factor by 10%, but declines as the heat generation/absorption factor increases with same percentage. The Bejan number tends to increase with stronger heat sources by 5%. Application possibilities include improved control and effectiveness in mechanisms that include microfluidic equipment, systems for delivering medications, and biotechnological operations.
