1. Introduction
The study of boundary layer flow (BLF) towards an elongating surface was first introduced by Anderson [
1] and has become a significant and exciting subject for research investigations because of its wide industrial application such as cooling capacity polymer, heat exchange properties such as thermal performance, wire coating-layer, liquids diffusivity, and chemical production sectors. Sakiadis [
2,
3] examined the BLF over the flat sheet. Further, Crane [
4] expanded the study to analyze the changing extending sheet velocity and closed form analytically solutions obtained for Navier–Stokes system using two-dimensional flow. These initial assistances have been of excessive significance in wire performance and elastic fabrication industries. The heat dissemination of the melting liquid was deliberated [
5], where the outcomes are revealed very imperatively in the development of conserving polymer sheets extracted through the die. Wang [
6] amended the fluid dynamic problem outside the stretched tube, which is required for the manufacturing environment of cable and fiber pulling. Ishak [
7] recently expanded the study of Wang to investigate the melting heat rate over a permeable surface. Keeping the applications of the stretching sheet, many researchers analyzed the fluid stream and heat transmission over the stretching sheet in different conditions. For this goal, the nanoparticles were introduced in the base fluid to increase the heat transport characteristics such as thickness, thermal efficiency, and diffusivity in the liquid.
Convective heat transfer (CHT) is the utmost efficient process for heat transmission in the liquefied. This framework can be improved by varying movement geometry, boundary constraints, or improving the thermal characteristics. For illustration, the accumulation of nanoparticles of higher thermal performance to the liquid upsurges the thermal characteristics of the base fluid.
NF technology has gained significant attention in recent years, particularly in the fields of production, physical science, and materials science. The concept of NF involves adding small quantities of nanoparticles to a base liquid, which enhances its thermal and electrical conductivity, viscosity, and other physical properties. These nanoparticles can be made from a variety of materials, including metals, ceramics, and carbon-based materials. Buongiorno [
9] gave a mathematical form of the nanoparticles and determined that via basic mechanism permits us with prodigious suppleness in enlightening the thermal features. NFs have been widely used by mathematicians and researchers to study a wide range of practical problems in various fields. In industrial applications [
10,
11], NFs are used to progress the proficiency of heat transfer systems, which can lead to significant energy savings. In biomedical engineering [
12], NFs have been used to develop new diagnostic and therapeutic techniques [
13], such as targeted drug delivery systems. In solar thermal applications, NFs are also used to increase the adeptness of solar collectors [
14,
15,
16,
17] and increase the amount of energy that can be generated from solar power.
Many studies have been conducted to explore the limitations that control the nanoparticle's resistance to heat transfer by convection. That is correct. Nanomaterials, which are particles that range in size from 1 to 100 nanometers, are not self-propelled in the way that microorganisms are. Instead, their movement is largely determined by Brownian motion and thermophoresis. Brownian motion (BM) is the random movement of particles in a fluid, such as air or water, that arises from collisions with the molecules of the fluid. This motion causes the particles to move around randomly but in a generally confined area. In the case of nanomaterials, their movement is largely determined by the Brownian motion of the fluid in which they are suspended. Thermophoresis, on the other hand, is the movement of particles in a fluid that is caused by a temperature gradient. When the temperature is increased to a liquid containing nanomaterials, the particles move from space with higher temperature to spaces of low temperature. The higher-density microorganisms drop into the liquid and the microorganisms float up. The bioconvection procedure is a macroscopic vibration created by this replacement. Numerous studies appeared to demonstrate that the emergence of motile microorganisms (MM) in NF flow occurred [
18]. The Fourier law has been used to study the issue of heat transmission, whereby was difficult to comprehend. Afterward, with Cattaneo and Later Christov, an improved version of the Fourier law (FL) was created and applied to discuss and examine the issue of heat transfer through a stretching sheet [
19,
20,
21,
22,
23]. Temperature and concentration characteristics are unaffected via the bioconvection factor [
16], whereas the buoyancy parameter has an impact on the density and velocity of MM. Growing the magnetic field, NN, the nanoparticle concentration, and density MM [
24,
25,
26] although solar energy has no impact on the density of MM [
27]. As a result of the mass slip, enhances the density of MM, heat, and fluid flow, whereas it modestly lowers the particle concentration [
28,
29]. The topic of this research is the bioconvection mechanism across a stretched cylinder. The time-dependent temperature slipstream of NF comprising MM along a flat tube demonstrates that motivation energy has a significant impact on nanoparticle mobility inside conventional fluids [
30,31,32]. Recent research on the mechanics of NFs in various configurations [33-37]. The consequences of inner heat production or permeation with heat/mass transport of a NF comprising a MM across an inclined stretched cylinder were not addressed in any earlier studies. The main objective of this exploration is to explore the impact of incidence angle on stream heat transfer, which is crucial in numerous industries such as pipework, fiber optics, spherical plastic squeezing, transition phase of conductive sheets, polyethylene production, and condensation of electrical and automatic equipment.
The following are the existing work contributions: 1- The temperature and velocity of NF are explored across a stretched inclined cylinder containing microorganisms. 2- Using a proper transformation matrix, the set of PDEs is turned into ODEs. 3- The resultant ODEs are investigated numerically using bvp4c using the Mathematica software. 4- The inspiration of various factors on the movement, heat, nanoparticle concentration, and DMM is shown visually.
2. Mathematical Description
Consider a steady state uniform mixed convection NF movement past an inclined stretchable cylinder with velocity
having radius a, containing GM (Gyrotacticn Microorganism) as described in
Figure 1. The coordinates
is used for this purpose. In figure 1
is the surface heat,
is the fluid heat,
is the ambient heat, and
is the heat source subjected to the cylinder.
When a cylinder is immersed in an NF, a temperature difference may arise between the surface of the cylinder and the surrounding fluid. This temperature difference can create a buoyancy force (BF) due to the density difference between the warm and cool fluid. The warm fluid near the cylinder surface will become less dense and rise, while the cool fluid will sink, creating a convective flow. This flow is known as natural convection and is driven by the BF owing to the heat difference. In the presence of gravity, the BF owing to the temperature difference interacts with the gravitational force, resulting in a more complex flow pattern. The resulting flow can enhance heat transmission from the cylinder surface to the fluid, which can be beneficial in many engineering applications.
Ignoring the pressure gradients or external forces, the model equations are expressed as follows [

The basic flow equations are converted in terms of PDEs. The PDEs are transformed to dimensionless form in terms of ODEs by using similarity transformations. The numerical results have been obtained vis bvp4c with 10

Figure 2a-d. Additionally, the existing work is compared with the previous as explored in

between the present and published work.
4. Results and discussion
The bioconvection Lewis factor
indicates the ratio of thermal diffusivity towards the diffusivity of microorganisms. The
has no influence on Skin friction,, Nusselt Number, or SherwoodnNumber, as seen in
Table 2. There is an upsurge inside the DMM. With raising
quantity, the DMM declines (see Fig. 5a). Physically, raising
reduces the diffusivity of microorganisms. Brownian motion
denotes the molecular movement of deferred nanomaterials inside an NF. This movement is caused by the random movement of nanoparticles, which becomes more prominent as the temperature rises.
Table 3 reveals that the
has no upshot on SF or DMM, although it does reduce the NN (heat transfer by conduction).
Figure 5b-c shows how
affect the temperature and concentration profiles. It is witnessed that the temperature outline enhances (see Fig. 5b) while the concentration is declines (see Fig. 5c).
Table 3demonstrates an escalation in the concentration of microchannel.
Figure 5c depicts a drop in the concentration of nanoparticles far from the surface. Physically, enhance temperature, and accelerates the energy of the particles, which promotes motion and quick collisions, which enhances Brownianmmotion. While raising the concentration, the space for particle mobility is reduced, as it declines the possibility of collisions. The thermophoresis factor
refers to the phenomena of a nanoparticle disparity reaction to the force of a heat variation. The TR gradient enhances this force, which enhances the heat inside the flow (see Fig. 5d). It is perceived that the concentration of the nanoparticles rises (see Fig. 5e).
Table 4 demonstrates the influence of
on SF, NN, SN, and DMM. This table demonstrates a drop in the NN with
, followed by a rise in the thermal gradient as shown in
Figure 5d.
Table 4 indicates a rise in the Sherwood number, and Figure 11b indicates an increment in the nanoparticle concentration. Physically, raising the temperature raises the temperature gradients, which raises the transition force, and thus raises the convective heat transfer parameter.
Here,
is the buoyancy-ratio factor.
Table 5 shows that raising the
factor leads to an increase in SF and a reduction throughout the NN, SN, as well as in DMM.
Figure 5f and Figure 6a-c depict the influence of
. The velocity of MM decreases (see
Figure 5f), whereas the temperature, boundary layer flow concentration, and DMM rise as shown in Figure 6a-c, respectively.
The Peclet number Pe is the proportion of advective transportation rate versus mass diffusion rate.
Table 6 indicates that when the Pe number increases, so does the concentration of MM While no significant effect was observed for SF, NN, and SN.
Figure 6d depicts a decline in the fields of motile microorganisms as the Pe number increases.
The Prandtlnnumber Pr is indeed a nondimensional quantity that shows the relationship between the momentum diffusivity to the thermal diffusivity. This value compares the influence of the fluid viscosity to the associated heat conductivity. The magnitude of the
number describes the characteristics of the fluid under investigation. Heat-transmitting fluids have strong heat capacity as well as low
values. According to
Table 7, raising the
number has little impact on the skin friction but improves the Nusseltnnumber, Sherwoodnnumber, and DMM. If
, the air may be designated a heat transmission fluid. The Carbon disulfide has a viscosity of 0.5 and a thermal conductivity of 0.149.
for chloromethane is 5 and for water is 7. As the Pr number grows, the impact of viscosity improves, and the temperature rises while the concentration declines.
Figure 6d-f depict the effect of
. The heat is shown to be decreasing in
Figure 6d. Physically, a rise in
number indicates a reduction in heat flux, implying that the solvent has a higher heat capacity.
Figure 6e demonstrates that the concentration of the microchannel rises further from the substrate, but the DMM decreases (see
Figure 6f).
The Bioconvection Rayleigh Number
, reflects the heat transmission in MM by natural convection. With rising
number, there is an improvement in SF but a decline in the NN, SN, and DMM.
Figure 7a depict a reduction in the velocity distribution as
enhances. In addition,
Figure 7b-d coincide with
Table 8 and show a rise in temperature, nanoparticles concentration, and motile microorganisms performance when R
b enhances.
The Richardson number,
, is a non-dimensional quantity that represents the buoyancy component to the stream sheared ratio.
Table 9 illustrates that raising the
, increase SF, NN, SN, and DMM.
Figure 8a-d demonstrate a drop in the curves of velocity, temperature, boundary layer flow concentration, and DMM when
, is increased.
The Schmidt number Sc is the relationship between the kinematic viscosity and the mass diffusion.
Table 10 depicts the impact of Sc; a drop in the NN and an enhancement within SN.
Figure 8e and 8f illustrate the increase inside the temperature distribution and a reduction in the nanoparticles concentration versus the rising
number. In terms of physics, raising the Schmidt number enormously increases the dynamic viscosity of the density of the fluid with mass diffusivity which introduces the thickness of the mass transmission boundary layer. The proposed value for
in the current investigation is very small, indicating that the molecules have a strong diffusivity, extremely small, and are unaffected by the viscosity of the media. Consequently, as the heat rises, so does the
number, whereas the concentration declines, as
increases.
The effect of the angle of inclination is shown in
Table 11 to demonstrate the variance in these non-dimensional values as a function of the inclination angle. Varying the inclination angle significantly influences the movement, temperature, volume of nanoparticles, and the DMM as revealed in
Figure 9a-d, respectively.
The curvature factor
represents the distortion of the cylinder sheet about the size of the boundary layer. The surface area declines as the curvature factor enhances.
Table 12 demonstrates an improvement in SF, NN, SN, and DMM as the curvature factor is increased owing to a consequent reduction area.
Figure 9e-h explore how the curvature factor
affects the velocity, temperature, volume of the NF away from the surface, and the MM profiles. For
, the radius equals the thickness of the boundary layer, and the structure is axisymmetric; as
grows, we reach the slender cylinder having a dense boundary layer. The heat source factor
is a dimensionless factor that explores the quantity of heat created or absorbed in the medium.
Table 13 shows that shifting the variation from absorption to generation causes a drop in the NN and a rise in the SN. The temperature as well as the concentration of nanomaterial enhancement are seen in
Figure 10a and 10b.
Table 14 shows that the bioconvection factor
causes a slight improvement in the DMM.
Figure 10c reveals a small decline in the MM (motile microorganisms) as the bioconvection factor is increased.
