Abstract

This study focusses on the heat and mass transfer and micro-organisms of the bioconvectional nanofluidic flow in the presence of activation energy. A mathematical model for the bioconvection has been incorporated with the existing nanofluid model past a stretching cylinder for which limited research works are present. The system of partial differential equations has been converted into ordinary differential equation by using suitable similarity transformation, and furthermore is solved by applying spectral quasilinearisation method, a newly developed numerical scheme. The obtained results are depicted graphically and analysed. Some observations regarding Brownian motion, thermal radiation, etc. are also seen in past research works, but explanation of these observations is provided in this study. Furthermore, we have reported some unprecedented behaviours of temperature and solute, microbe concentration as our conclusion, the explanation of which will be regarded as our future scope of research.
