Abstract
In this article, we explore how activation energy and varied transit parameters influence the two-dimensional stagnation point motion of nano-biofilm of Sutterby fluids incorporating gyrotactic microbes across a porous straining/shrinking sheet. Prior investigations implied that fluid viscosity as well as thermal conductance are temperature based. This research proposes that fluid viscosity, heat capacity and nanofluid attributes are all modified by solute concentration. According to some empirical research, the viscosity as well as heat conductivity of nanoparticles are highly based on the concentration of nanoparticles instead of only the temperature. The shooting approach with the RK-4 technique is applied to acquire analytical results. We contrast our outcomes with those in the existing research and examine their consistency and reliability. The graphic performance of relevant factors on heat, velocity, density and motile concentration domains are depicted and discussed. The skin friction factor, Nusselt number, Sherwood number and the motile density are determined. As the concentration-dependent properties are updated, the speed, temperature, concentration and motile density profiles are enhanced, but for all concentration-varying factors, other physical quantities deteriorate.
