In biotechnology and biosensors bioconvection along with microorganisms play a important role. This article communicates a theoretic numerical analysis concerning the bioconvective Sutterby nanofluid flow over a stretchable wedge surface. Bioconvection is a remarkable occurrence of undercurrents fluid that is produced owing to the turning of microbes. It is considered for hydrodynamics unsteadiness and forms classified in interruption of inclined swimming microbes. Bioconvection is perceived practically in many uses for example pharmaceutical products, bio sensing applications, biomedical, bio-micro systems, biotechnology advancements and refining of mathematical models. Additionally, unsteady parameter influences are taken into account. Furthermore, no mass flux as well as heat sink/source consequences are measured in existing analysis. The similarity transformation are established for the non-linear PDEs of microorganism's field, nanofluid concentration, energy, momentum and mass for bioconvection flow of Sutterby nanofluid. Then, altered non-linear ODEs are resolved by utilizing the bvp4c technique. Moreover, nanofluids are declining in thermal and concentration fields and the greater number of Peclet number declines the field of microorganisms. Acquired numerical data displays that temperature field of nanofluid increases for more thermophoretic and unsteady parameters., Competing Interests: The authors declare that they have no known competing financial interests or personal relationships that could have appeared to influence the work reported in this paper., (© 2023 The Authors.)

Based on both the characteristics of shear thinning and shear thickening fluids, the Sutterby fluid has various applications in engineering and industrial fields. Due to the dual nature of the Sutterby fluid, the motive of the current study is to scrutinize the variable physical effects on the Sutterby nanofluid flow subject to shear thickening and shear thinning behavior over biaxially stretchable exponential and nonlinear sheets. The steady flow mechanism with the variable magnetic field, partial slip effects, and variable heat source/sink is examined over both stretchable sheets. The analysis of mass and heat transfer is carried out with the mutual impacts of thermophoresis and Brownian motion through the Buongiorno model. Suitable transformations for both exponential and nonlinear sheets are implemented on the problem's constitutive equations. As a result, the nonlinear setup of ordinary differential equations is acquired which is further numerically analyzed through the bvp4c technique in MATLAB. The graphical explanation of temperature, velocity, and concentration distributions exhibits that the exponential sheet provides more significant results as compared to the nonlinear sheet. Further, this study revealed that for the shear thickening behavior of Sutterby nanofluid, the increasing values of Deborah number increase the axial velocity., Competing Interests: The corresponding author on behalf of all authors declares “no conflict of interest” with anyone exists., (© 2023 The Authors.)

Owing to enhanced thermal impact of nanomaterials, different applications are suggested in engineering and industrial systems like heat transfer devices, energy generation, extrusion processes, engine cooling, thermal systems, heat exchanger, chemical processes, manufacturing systems, hybrid-powered plants etc. The current communication concerns the optimized flow of Sutterby nanofluid due to stretched surface in view of different thermal sources. The investigation is supported with the applications of external heat source, magnetic force and radiative phenomenon. The irreversibility investigation is deliberated with implementation of thermodynamics second law. The thermophoresis and random movement characteristics are also studied. Additionally, first order binary reaction is also examined. The nonlinear system of the governing problem is obtained which are numerically computed by s method. The physical aspects of prominent flow parameters are attributed graphically. Further, the analysis for entropy generation and Bejan number is focused. It is observed that the velocity profile increases due to Reynolds number and Deborah number. Larger Schmidt number reduces the concentration distribution. Further, the entropy generation is improved against Reynolds number and Brinkman parameter., Competing Interests: The authors declare that they have no known competing financial interests or personal relationships that could have appeared to influence the work reported in this paper., (© 2023 The Authors.)
