- The aim of present work is to investigate the mass transfer of steady incompressible hydromagnetic fluid near the stagnation point with deferment of dust particles over a stretching surface. Most researchers tried to improve the mass transfer by inclusion of cross-diffusion or dust particles due to their vast applications in industrial processes, extrusion process, chemical processing, manufacturing of various types of liquid drinks and in various engineering treatments. To encourage the mass transport phenomena in this study we incorporated dust with microorganisms. Conservation of mass, momentum, concentration and density of microorganisms are used in relevant flow equations. The arising system of nonlinear partial differential equations is transformed into nonlinear ordinary differential equations. The numerical solutions are obtained by the Runge-Kutta based shooting technique and the local Sherwood number is computed for various values of the physical governing parameters (Lewis number, Peclet number, Eckert number). An important finding of present work is that larger values of these parameters encourage the mass transfer rate, and the motile organisms density profiles are augmented with the larger values of fluid particle interaction parameter with reference to bioconvection, bioconvection Lewis number, and dust particle concentration parameter..
