Abstract
Present investigation aims to examine the behavior of bioconvective flow of tangent hyperbolic nanomaterial over porous surface of cylinder. Revised Fourier and Fick’s law is accounted through Cattaneo-Christov double diffusion model for heat and mass transportation. Momentum expression is modeled considering magnetic field, mixed convection and permeability effects. Chemical reaction associated with Arrhenius activation energy (AE) and Joule heating impacts are respectively taken in mass concentration and energy communication. Bioconvection is considered to stabilize the tiny solid particles within the fluid. Flow governing mathematical model is acquired with the help of boundary layer assumptions. The obtained model is made dimensionless via transformations. Built in code of Mathematica (NDSolve) is implemented for graphical and numerical computations of mass concentration, motile density, thermal field, Nusselt number, density number, wall shear force and Sherwood number. Findings show that mass transportation and thermal field diminished via rising estimations of concentration and thermal relaxation time. Mass concentration curves show opposite trend via AE and chemical reaction variables.
