1. Introduction
A rapid progress has urged researchers’ attention over flow regime towards stretched cylinder. Fluid flow by a directly or non-straightly extending chamber assumes a critical part and have huge applications in assembling and creation measures including metal turning, creation of glass filaments, elastic sheet formation, wire drawing, expulsion of polymer sheets, petrol businesses, polymer preparing and so forth. The progression of quiet liquid over a moving surface was first broke down by Sakiadis [
1]. Since most recent 20 years, the investigation of nanofluid has asked the scientist’s consideration because of their warmth transportation rate. Nanofluid comes into existence when we add a little amount of nano-sized particles to the base liquids. The term nanofluid was first instituted by Choi and Eastman [
2]. In 2006, Buongiorno [
3] explained two-component nanofluid modelling based on seven slip mechanisms which further utilized for heat transport investigation in nanofluid uniform layer by Kuznetsov and Nield [
4]. Dhanai et al. [
5] studied the variable slip effects over an inclined cylinder in presence of mixed convection. Swapna et al. [
6] studied radiative effect over permeable stretching cylinder by using FE technique. Rana et al. [
7] studied the energy dissipating effect of Viscoelastic Nanofluid Flow by using hp-FEM technique. Recently, Vinita and Poply [
8] inspected influence of free stream velocity over stretching cylinder in MHD nanofluids. Goyal et al. [
9] examined the GFEM examination in MHD nanofluid flow towards extending sheet and the FEM approach was implemented to solve system. Vinita et al. [
10] explained the effect of variable slip flows in addition to thermal radiation in MHD nanofluids induced by non linear stretched surface. Vinita et al. [
11] examined radiation effect on MHD free stream velocity nanofluid flow induced by stretchable cylinder in presence of chemically reactive species by applying RKF technique using ODE45 solver in MATLAB. Khan et al. [
12] studied the applications of bio-convection nanofluid flow in presence of activation energy. The influence of Fick’s and Fourier laws on MHD dusty Casson nanofluid in presence of heat source parameter was investigated by Ramzan et al. [
13].
In different related conditions of the heat move measure, probably the best guideline is exemplary Fourier heat law which is utilized in traditional material science [
14]. One of its chief drawbacks of the constituting condition of heat is that particular aggravation and at the same time, the possibility of determinism are tested over the whole entire medium. Numerous specialists have clarified the conduct of pseudo-plastic liquids by recommending various models, especially Carreau, Williamson, power law, Upper Convective Maxwell (UCM), Cattaneo–Christov (Non-Fourier) Model, and so on. The Cattaneo’s thermal unwinding is the modifed type of Fourier’s thermal conduction law [
15]. For Oldroyd’s super convection model, Christov [
16] extended Cattaneo’s law [
15] to achieve the invariance of structural elements by adding rest periods. Along these lines, another model called Cattaneo–Christov was introduced based on heat flux. Recently, Kumar et al. [
17] examined the CNT’s based flow along with thermal convective conditions and Cattaneo–Christov (non-Fourier) model. Abid et al. [
18] studied the effect of two distinctive nanoparticles
and
in two diverse part of the way ionized magneto-fluid over a straightly extending surface. Recently, the flow of the boundary layer and the heat transfer model with Cattaneo–Christov have been extensively investigated in many publications (see [
19,
20,
21,
22,
23]).
Stagnation point nanofluid flow with Stefan blowing in presence of chemical reaction and heat radiation has been studied by Rana et al. [
24] by following Homotopy analysis. Additionally, Rana et al. [
25] analyzed the entropy generation impact along with Stefan blowing and slip flow induced by horizontal surface using Lie analysis approach and found that higher Reynolds number rises entropy generation number. Gowda et al. [
26] investigated the Stefan blowing impact with magnetic dipole over stretching surface in ferromagnetic nanofluids by following RKF45 technique and showed that heat transportation of fluid is enhanced with Stefan blowing convective conditions. Impact of Stefan blowing over rotating disc in Maxwell nanofluids has been investigated by Mabood et al. [
27] and found that higher thermal relaxation parameter falls temperature field. Recently, Gowda et al. [
28] presented the Stefan effect with Cattaneo–Christov model in Sutterby nanofluids over rotating disc by extending Buongiorno’s model in their study. Additionally, Madhukesh et al. [
29] used non-Fourier heat flux model over curved stretching surface to investigate the impact of AA7072-AA7075/water-based hybrid nanofluid along with Newtonian heating when temperature at the wall is constant. In 2021, two dimensional laminar flow of non-Newtonian Marangoni nanofluids in presence of activation energy along with chemical reactions has been presented by Gowda et al. [
30] and they showed that heat transfer rate declines with larger Marangoni number. Very recently, Yusuf et al. [
31] studied the bio-convective entropy generation effect induced by inclined plate in presence of Williamson nanofluid.
To achieve stability of hybrid nanofluids, the proper selection of NPs plays a significant role for base fluids. Various examinations have been directed to test the qualities of crossover nanofluids. Dominant parts of the analysts have announced empowering results. Hybrid nanofluids have been found to have streamlined qualities, demonstrating them to be appropriate for the heavenly bodies that require great warm, optical, and rheological attributes of working liquid. Flow caused by
water-based nanofluid by shrinking cylinder in the presence of slip conditions was examined by Rana et al. [
32] by following Buongiorno’s model. Esfe et al. [
33] explained that hybrid nanofluid have better influence on thermal conductivity than single particle nanofluids. Following segment sums up significant properties such as optical, warm, rheological, and morphological properties of mixture nanofluids according to revealed in the latest examination articles presented by Shah and Ali [
34]. MHD hybrid nanofluid flow in annulus among concentric cylinders was studied by Rana [
35]. A numerical investigation was done by Aminian et al. [
36] to study the impact of Magnetic by extending cylinder in hybrid nanofluids. Gul et al. [
37] showed the impact of magnetic dipole over stretching surface in hybrid nanofluid flow. Reddy et al. [
38] explained the effect of CCHFM over hybrid dusty nanofluids. Khashi’ie et al. [
39] examined hybrid nanofluid flow with prescribed surface heat flux Past a shrinking cylinder. Tassaddiq [
40] examined the influence of CCHFM on MHD hybrid nanofluid flow in presence of viscous and Ohmic dissipation and found that macro velocity falls for higher values of Hartmann number and micropolar factor. In recent years, hybrid nanofluid flow of the boundary layer and the heat transfer model with Cattaneo–Christov in different circumstances have been extensively investigated in many publications [
41,
42,
43].
An important point of current research is the outstanding investigation of hybrid nanofluid flow through CCHFM along with Stefan blowing, mass flux, chemical reaction and gyrotactic micro-organism over a stretched cylinder. The ruling PDEs are converted as ODE’s to obtain numerical solution using Finite Element technique with different shape functions. The results are also compared with MATLAB finite difference bvp5c function. A catalog who works well for the physical steps to solve this model are presented and correlation between flow and temperatures represented by tables and graphs. Finally, the physical quantities of interest are presented for various controlling parameters in the form of contours.
2. Nano-Materials and Modeling
Two dimensional incompressible MHD hybrid nanofluid (Ag-MgO/water) flow with gyrotactic micro-organisms in presence of chemically reactive species towards an extended surface with free stream velocity (
) has been taken into account (See
Figure 1). The flow field is impacted by the gradient of nanoparticle volume fraction at the wall (Stefan blowing phenomena) with low magnetic Reynolds number. The cylinder is stretched with stretching velocity
in direction of
x-axis whereas magnetic force has been employed in the direction of radial axis. Additionally, free stream motile organisms, nanoparticle volume fraction and temperature are expressed by

Table 1. The correlations for electrical conductivity, heat capacitance, density, dynamic viscosity and thermal conductivity of Ag–MgO/water hybrid nanofluid with the particle diameter of 40 nm (MgO) and 25 nm (Ag) and nanoparticle volume fraction (50% Ag and 50% MgO by volume), are specified as [
44,
45,
46]:
Additionally, the similarity variables are specified by following:
Inserting (

3. Numerical Method
The Galerkin finite element approach (GFEM) is one of the well-known numerical strategies to discover approximate solutions of ODE in addition to PDE system that includes complex boundary situations and/or complicated geometry. The working of finite element method are shown in
Figure 2. To solve this system of non-linear differential Equations (13)–(16) following (Swapna et al. [
6], Rana et al. [
7], Goyal et al. [
9]), the weak formulation procedure has been adopted and
represents the typical linear/quadratic element that is created by weighted residual formulation having element coordinates
, is given by
Here, we choose

to quadratic shape function. Similarly, the right hand side column can be evaluated after weak formulation. In this physical configuration, whole domain is alienated into the equal length of both linear and quadratic elements which further solved after implementing the boundary conditions. The Gaussian quadrature method are used to solve the integration maintaining the accuracy of
. The desired convergence has been achieved in current problem with optimal element size of 0.01 with boundary layer length of
which can be observed from
Table 2 and
Table 3. The accuracy of the employed method (Finite Element Method) is also established by direct comparisons. We have compared the results obtained by FEM Results with those of a standard MATLAB built-in function
bvp5c (Finite Difference Algorithm) as shown in
Table 4. We have also noticed that MATLAB
bvp5c provides convergence only for some set of controlling parameters. Thus, finite element method is advantageous for solving such a complex system.
4. Interpretation of Results
In the current investigation, nonlinear differential Conditions (13) to (16) with (17) are solved numerically using GFEM. Additionally, the impact of numerous fluid parameters, in particular dimensionless magnetic parameter
M, velocity slip parameter
, curvature parameter
, free stream velocity
, initial volume fraction
, Brownian motion parameter
, Peclet number
, thermal slip parameter
, chemical reaction parameter
, volume fraction slip parameter
, motile concentration parameter
and Stefan blowing
are addressed and clarified through plots and tables (
Table 5 and
Table 6). For numerical simulation, we have fixed the controlling parameters as
(for magnetic field less than 0.1 Tesla),
(<<1 for Ag/MgO hybrid nanoparticles),
(water as base fluid),
(>>1, high for nanoparticles and algae micro-organisms),
(>0, chemical reaction parameter),
(>0 for cylinder, =0 for plate model),
(stretching velocity is assumed to be higher than free-stream velocity),
,
,
(generally its value ≤1) and
(nanoparticle initial volume fraction not more than 2%). The bioconvection parameters can be calculated for alga Chlamydomonas nivalis micro-organism using the data provided in Pedley [
47] and Khurana et al. [
48]. To sort out the computational non-linearity in the mathematical model, the finite element method (FEM) is executed to settle administering differential conditions, since it gives the flexibility to linearize along with polynomial approximation and shows a very good agreement of convergence in the present study.
4.1. Influence of Physical Parameters on Velocity and Temperature Profiles
Figure 3 shows the velocity profile for magnetic parameter
M, velocity slip parameter
, curvature parameter
, free stream velocity
, initial nanoparticle volume fraction
and Stefan blowing
.
Figure 3a portrays the influence of magnetic parameter
M (0 to 1) over velocity distribution. Lorentz force is delivered in view of presence of an attractive field which opposes the free movement of electrically conducting basefluid (ionized) and it is the main reason behind the diminishing of velocity of nanofluid.
Figure 3b addresses the velocity profile against slip velocity
(0 to 1). Here, it is seen that nanofluid velocity diminishes with the enhancement in slip velocity
, may be due to flow velocity near the cylindrical surface is not same as speed of the extending cylinder. Moreover, it is obvious from the figure that all the charts decline particularly up to
(approximately).
Figure 3c address the profile of velocity for precise sections of curvature parameter
(0 to 1). With the increment of
, this diagram shows that velocity conveyance increments. Additionally, the cylindrical radius diminishes with expanding estimation of
and subsequently the piece of chamber that is in contact to liquid is scaled down which brings about the decrease of nanoliquid obstruction and in this way the augmentation in profile of velocity is taken note.
Figure 3d manifests impact of the free stream velocity
against the velocity distribution for
. For
, it signifies the stretching sheet velocity (
) is assumed to be more than free-stream velocity (
). This plot describes that an enormous estimation of
rises the velocity distribution and is approximately diminished at the surface of cylinder. Impact of initial volume fraction
(0 to 0.02) over the velocity is shown by
Figure 3e. This graph shows that velocity increases with a very slow speed with the increment in
. Additionally, the
Figure 3f illustrates the velocity distribution against Stefan blowing parameter
(−5 to 5). A critical deviations in profile of velocity can be seen in this figure. With increase in the value of
, velocity increases as depicted in
Figure 3f.
Figure 4 illustrates the temperature profile for six crucial parameters.
Figure 4a manifests the temperature distribution against thermal slip flow
(0 to 1). This plot illustrates that for higher
, reduction in boundary layer thickness has been observed which consequently results in decrease of temperature and the outcome are highly apparent in the boundary layer
(approximately).
Figure 4b addresses the temperature profile for expanding curvature parameter
. Here it is seen that temperature ascends with expanding value of
significantly in the boundary region
(approximately). Additionally, the
Figure 4c illustrates the temperature distribution against Stefan blowing parameter
. A critical deviations in profile of temperature can be seen in this figure. With increase in the value of
, velocity increases as depicted in
Figure 4c. The slow impact of initial volume fraction
over the temperature profile can be depicted in
Figure 4d.
Figure 4e shows the impact of Brownian movement boundary
(0.001 to 0.05) over nanoparticle temperature appropriation. At the point when fluid molecules hit with one another, it makes a subjective movement among themself called Brownian movement, which thusly increases the boundary layer thickness and subsequently nanoparticle temperature enhances for additional increment of Brownian movement
which further results in decrement of Nusselt number.
Figure 4f shows the impact of nanoparticle temperature under the influence of thermophoresis
(0.001 to 0.05). With an expansion in the estimations of thermophoresis parameter
, the temperature inclination tumbles down.
4.2. Impact of Controlling Parameters on Nanoparticle Volume Fraction and Motile Density Microorganisms Distribution
The nanoparticle volume fraction profile for six physical fluid parameters is illustrated via
Figure 5.
Figure 5a portrays the impact of the slip
(0 to 1) on focus conveyance. As we continue expanding the estimation of slip parameter
, the liquid fixation diminishes because of the mass slip. The charts are particular inside
(roughly) and past that area, the end result is not huge. Moreover, the diagrams of fixation are heightened for lower estimations of the
.
Figure 5b represents the nanoparticle volume fraction
against curvature parameter
in the range 0 to 1. With an augmentation in the value of curvature parameter
, volume fraction rises as shown in the plot
Figure 5b. As the curvature parameter (
) becomes zero, the present problem is converted to flat stretching sheet problem which justifies the decrement in boundary layer.
Furthermore,
Figure 5c manifests the effect of Stefan blowing parameter
(−5 to 5) on nanoparticle volume fraction. Here, this graph shows that, volume fraction enhances with an increment in
. On the other hand, nanoparticle volume fraction declines for higher values of
(0 to 0.02) as depicted in
Figure 5d.
Figure 5e shows the effect of
(0.001 to 0.05) on profile of nanoparticle volume fraction. With an increment in
, nanoparticles slam into one another with higher speed which brings about diminishing of nanoparticle volume fraction and subsequently, the Sherwood number lessens as portrayed in
Table 5.
Figure 5f representations variety of nanoparticle volume fraction against
. This diagram shows that with an increment in thermophoresis
, nanoparticle volume fraction upgrades. Fundamentally, in the event of thermophoresis applied by a molecule on the other molecule will produce the development of particle movement from more sizzling to colder part and thus strengthening in the nanoparticle volume fraction is noticed through
Figure 5f.
Figure 6a shows the influence of micro-organism slip parameter
(0 to 1) over motile concentration. This figure elaborates that motile concentration falls with rise in motile slip parameter
.
Figure 6b manifests the impact of curvature parameter
(0–1) on
. An enhancement in the value of motile concentration is noticed for higher value of curvature parameter
. Additionally, motile concentration decreases for higher values of initial volume fraction
and concentration difference parameter
as shown in
Figure 6c,d respectively. It is imagined that the non-negative estimations of Peclet number
subverts the thickness of gyrotactic micro-organisms since more
improves the movement of liquid particles prompting more slender micro-organisms as seen in
Figure 6e.
Figure 6f illustrates motile concentration
against the chemical reaction parameter
(0 to 1) and this shows that motile concentration falls with rise in chemical reaction parameter
.
4.3. Influence on Skin Friction Coefficient and Nusselt Number with Different Controlling Parameter
Figure 7a represents the variation of skin friction coefficient
against Stefan blowing parameter
and initial volume fraction
and this figure shows that skin friction coefficient enhances when the values of
and
rises.
Figure 7b shows the effect of skin friction coefficient under the influence of velocity slip parameter
and thermal slip parameter
. This plot illustrates that skin friction declines with enhancement in
and
. Moreover the effect of
is not more prominent in this case as seen in
Figure 7b. While reverse impact is noticed in case of
Figure 7c and in this plot, slip parameter plays an important role to increase the value of skin friction coefficient ranging from
when volume fraction slip parameter and motile concentration slip parameter are in the range from 0 to 1. Furthermore,
Figure 7d manifests that
rises with rise in free stream velocity parameter, when
and curvature parameter, when
.
Combined effect of prominent fluid parameters
,
, multiple slips and
&
on heat transfer rate has been illustrated via
Figure 8a–d respectively. Rate of heat transportation falls with rise in Stefan blowing parameter, when
and initial volume fraction
ranging from 0 to 0.02. Additionally, this plot shows that the effect of
is more dominant in comparison to
that can be seen in
Figure 8a very clearly. Moreover same pattern is observed in case of
Figure 8b when combined effect of
and
are taken into account.
Afterthat,
Figure 8c describes the variation in heat transfer under the impact of
and
. It is noted from the graph that heat transfer rate increases with only variation in volume fraction slip parameter as a negligible effect is found in case of motile concentration density parameter. Furthermore, the joined impact of higher
and
causes the rate of heat transfer to decline as shown in
Figure 8d via contour plot.
4.4. Impact of Prominent Physical Parameters on Sherwood Number and Motile Microorganism Number
Figure 9 depicts the impact of various physical parameters on Sherwood number. The rate of mass transportation declines with the rise in
and
both (as shown in
Figure 9a) while it rises with the rise in
and
(as shown in
Figure 9b). Additionally, rate of mass transportation declines when combined effect of higher
and
has been taken into account as can be seen in
Figure 9c. Further,
Figure 9d shows that Sherwood number enhances with enhancement in the values of
and
.
Figure 10 represents the motile micro-organism number distribution under the influence of crucial fluid parameters. In this plot,
Figure 10a shows that, mass transportation of micro-organisms decreases for higher values of
and
. Furthermore, same impact is noticed in case of higher
and
(see
Figure 10b) and in case of higher
and
(see
Figure 10c) while reverse impact is noticed for higher
and
as shown in
Figure 10d.
