Abstract

This study presents the numerical analysis of the effects of heat generation/absorption on boundary layer flow of a nanofluid containing gyrotactic microorganisms with heat and mass transfer past an inclined stretching cylinder. The system of partial differential equations is transformed into non-dimensional ordinary differential equations using similarity transformation, then solved numerically using the shooting method. The influence of the different parameters on the velocity, the temperature, the concentration, and the motile microorganism density is discussed and analyzed. Numerical results show that the variation in the inclination angle has a light effect on velocity, temperature, nanoparticle concentration, and the density of the motile microorganism.
