          Abstract

          Thermal management is a crucial task in the present era of miniatures and other gadgets of compact heat density. This communication presents the momentum and thermal transportation of nanofluid flow over a sheet that stretches exponentially. The fluid moves through a porous matrix in the presence of a magnetic field that is perpendicular to the flow direction. To achieve the main objective of efficient thermal transportation with increased thermal conductivity, the possible settling of nano entities is avoided with the bioconvection of microorganisms. Furthermore, thermal radiation, heat source dissipation, and activation energy are also considered. The formulation in the form of a partial differential equation is transmuted into an ordinary differential form with the implementation of appropriate similarity variables. Numerical treatment involving Runge–Kutta along with the shooting technique method was chosen to resolve the boundary values problem. To elucidate the physical insights of the problem, computational code was run for suitable ranges of the involved parameters. The fluid temperature directly rose with the buoyancy ratio parameter, Rayleigh number, Brownian motion parameter, and thermophoresis parameter. Thus, thermal transportation enhances with the inclusion of nano entities and the bioconvection of microorganisms. The findings are useful for heat exchangers working in various technological processors. The validation of the obtained results is also assured through comparison with the existing result. The satisfactory concurrence was also observed while comparing the present symmetrical results with the existing literature.
