Bioconvection flow of Cross nanofluid due to cylinder with activation energy and second order slip features

Abstract

Owing to the admirable thermal features of nanofluids, different applications of nanomaterials are reported in thermal engineering, solar systems, industrial processes, cooling processes etc. The aim of this research is to communicates the thermal impact of cross nanofluid with applications of bioconvection phenomenon. The additional thermal impact of radiated phenomenon, activation energy and viscous dissipation is endorsed. The stretching cylinder induced the flow. The interaction of new variables presents the dimensionless form of the problem. The numerical simulations are performed with implementation of finite difference method by using bvp4c code. The graphical framework for flow parameters is evaluated. It is observed that velocity profile increase for curvature index and curvature parameter. The velocity profile reduces with interaction of first order slip parameter. The enhanced thermal impact of heat transfer due to Biot number is noticed.
