Flow and heat transfer investigation of bio-convective hybrid nanofluid with triple stratification effects

The current study explored the bio-convective stagnation point flow of hybrid nanofluid with Cattaneo-Christove theory, viscous dissipation, and activation energy. The stratification and Thomson and Troian slip condition are applied on the boundary of a permeable vertical cylinder. The central idea of the present study is to boosting the thermal conductivity of fluid by immersed the nanoparticles (SWCNT, MWCNT) in the base liquid (Engine oil). The mathematical model is converted into the system of coupled nonlinear differential equations (PDEs). These coupled equations are manipulated with the help of a Bvp4c Matlab technique. The graphical illustration is presented via various emerging parameters. It is worth noticing that the porosity and velocity slip parameter lessen the velocity profile. Moreover, the comparison between simple and hybrid nanofluid is done by the tabulated date. It is showed that heat and mass transfer rate improved with the addition of hybrid nanofluid.
