Numerical simulation of the nanofluid flow consists of gyrotactic microorganism and subject to activation energy across an inclined stretching cylinder

Abstract

The current study examines the numerical simulation of the nanoliquid boundary layer flow comprising gyrotactic microbes with mass and energy transmission across a stretching inclined cylinder. The consequences of chemical reaction, heat generation/absorption, buoyancy force and Arrhenius activation energy is also considered on the nanofluid flow. The flow mechanism has been modeled in the form of system of nonlinear partial differential equations (PDEs). That system of PDEs is further transform into the dimensionless set of ordinary differential equations (ODEs) through the similarity substitutions. The obtained set of differential equations are numerically computed through the parametric continuation method (PCM). The effects of the distinct physical constraints on the energy, velocity, mass and the motile microbe profiles are discoursed and evaluated through Tables and Figures. It has been noticed that the velocity curve drops with the influence of inclination angle and Richardson number, while enhances against the variation of curvature factor. Furthermore, the energy field boosts with the upshot of inclination angle and heat source term, while declines with the influence of Prandtl number and Richardson number.
