Abstract

In the present article, it is examined the steady bio-convective hybridized micropolar nanofluid flow with the stratification conditions above a vertical exponentially stretching surface. The SWCNT+MWCNT are used in a base fluid of water to formulate the Hybrid nanoparticles in the current article. To examine the mass and heat transfer rate, the activation energy and Cattaneo-Christov heat flux are factored into the equation. The relevant transformations are manipulated to transfer the flow model into the coupled non-linear ODEs. To answer the coupled equations, the Bvp4c Matlab approach is being used. The conclusion of various parameters is examined graphically. The physical numbers observed via graphs, such as friction factor, local Sherwood number and local microorganism number. It is worth noticing that the axial and angular velocity reduces close the boundary and enhances away from the boundary with the escalation of solid volume fraction of SWCNT and MWCNT. Further, as increases the Peclet number, microorganism stratification parameters, and bio-convection Schmidt number, the microorganism sketch declines.
