1. Introduction
Nanofluids have been in demand because of its use in energy efficient devices due to its high performance contribution in thermal conductivity compared to a traditional fluid [1–3]. Nanofluids have recently been used in detergent, vehicle coolant, sensing in microelectromechanical systems (MEMS), and thermal energy storage [4]. Thus, it can be used in heating and electronic devices to make it more cost effective by minimization of energy lost in heat transfer process. There are a number of applications where nanofluids have been used such as in biomedical engineering, fluid power, mechanical and manufacturing industry, hydraulics, etc. The nanofluids are a composite solution containing nanoparticles and the base fluid [5].
The scope of nanofluid has been further enlarged by coalescing nanoparticles with blood to cultivate comprehension of biological sciences as well. Such a fluid is ordinarily known as bionanofluid. Recent applications of bionanofluid in medical sciences, such as medicine, cancer therapy, etc., have generated interest in investigating the bionanofluid flow. Moreover, the bionanofluid has instigated research in nanotechnology, biomedical engineering (applying biological in medical innovation), bioengineering (applying engineering principle to biology), and medical devices, etc.
Bioconvection is a process in which microorganisms convection occur in the fluid [6]. Khan and Makinde [7] investigated nanofluids in motile gyrotactic microorganisms. In [8], analytical solution of bioconvection of oxytactic bacteria was found. Mutuku and Makinde [9] discussed hydromagnetic bioconvection due to microorganisms and solution is obtained numerically. Recently, Naganthran et al. [10] applied extrapolation technique in time dependent bionanofluid. Zaimi et al. [11] discussed stagnation point flow not only containing nanoparticles but also gyrotactic microorganisms. Ali and Zaib [12] discussed unsteady flow of an Eyring-Powell nanofluid near a stagnation point. Zeng and Pedley [13] discussed gyrotactic microorganisms in complex three-dimensional flow. Shah et al. [14] have developed a fractional model in discussing a natural convection of bionanofluids between two vertical plates. Amirsom et al. [15] have discussed melting bioconvection nanofluid with second-order slip and thermal physical properties. Khader et al. [16] performed experimental study to determine the thermal and electrical conductivity to develop a new correlation in bionanofluid. For other details in this direction, see [17–22].
The thermal radiation plays an important role in industrial and engineering processes. Thermal radiation is a phenomenon in which energy is transported through indirect contact. Izadi et al. [23] discussed thermal radiation in a micropolar nanoliquid in a porous chamber. They applied the Galerkin finite element method to compute the numerical solution. Daniel et al. [24] presented a theory on entropy analysis for EMHD nanofluids considering thermal radiation and viscous dissipation. Muhammad et al. [25] obtained numerical solutions via the shooting method and bvp4c for the significant role nonlinear thermal radiation played in 3D Eyring-Powell nanofluid. Sohail et al. [26] described entropy analysis of Maxwell nanofluid in gyrotactic microorganisms with thermal radiation. Gireesha et al. [27] provide hybrid nanofluid flow across a permeable longitudinal moving fin with thermal radiation.
Eid [28] presents two-phase chemical reactions over a stretching sheet. Tripathy et al. [29] research chemical reactive flow over a moving vertical plate. In Pal and Talukdar [30], chemical reaction effects in a mixed convection flow have been covered. Katerina and Patel [31] reported results on radiation and chemical reaction in Casson fluid over an oscillating vertical plate. The works of Shah et al. [32], Rasool et al. [33], Khan et al. [34], and Khan et al. [35] contain chemical reactions as well as entropy generation over a nonlinear sheet. Khan et al. [36] present results on axisymmetric Carreau nanofluid along with chemical reaction. Gharami et al. [37] provide an unsteady flow of tangent nanofluid with a chemical reaction. Hamid et al. [38] simultaneously presented work on chemical reaction and activation energy in the unsteady flow of Williamson nanofluid. Reddy et al. [39] report results on nanofluid over a rotating disk with a chemical reaction. For other references on this topic, the reader is referred to [40–50].
In aforementioned literature studies, the chief emphasis has been made on various physical situations to find an in-depth understanding of physics but the route of bionanofluid along with other situations of unsteady effect in a free stream flow is mostly absent from the literature.
The paper is written in the following order. Introduction of the paper is given in Section 1. Problem formulation is presented in Section 2. Numerical method is presented in Section 3. The results and discussion of the work are discussed Section 4. Conclusion is drawn at the end in Section 5.
2. Problem Formulation
Assuming an unsteady two-dimensional MHD stagnation point flow of bionanofluid in the presence of thermal radiation, chemical reaction, and internal heat generation/absorption adjacent to a stretching sheet with thermal radiation, a water-based nanofluid containing nanoparticles and gyrotactic microorganisms is considered. It is assumed that the presence of nanoparticles has no effect on the swimming direction of microorganisms and on their swimming velocity. This assumption holds only for less than
[figure omitted; refer to PDF]
Under the above assumptions, the governing model of flow reads as follows [10, 51]:
However, the boundary conditions corresponding to the considered model is taken as follows:
Introducing the similarity solutions as follows:
By inserting equation (7) into equations (1)–(5), we obtain the following transformed nonlinear ordinary differential equations:
Similarly, equations (7) reduces boundary condition (6) into
The physical quantities of interest in this study are the local skin friction coefficient
Inserting equation (7) into equation (11) yields the following expressions:
3. Numerical Procedure
3.1. Shooting Method
The physical model of ODEs alongside boundary conditions quantitatively evaluated by the shooting method implemented in MATLAB. The shooting approach involves two stages: Converting the boundary value problem (BVP) into an initial value problem (IVP) and the higher-order ODEs into a system of first-order ODEs. We employed the Newton–Raphson approach in locating roots. The Runge–Kutta method of order five is implemented in determining the solution of the IVP. The system of first-order ODEs reads as follows:
The converted form of boundary conditions into an initial condition for the shooting method is rewritten as follows:
3.2. bvp4c
Having found numerical results from the shooting method, we verify these results using MATLAB built-in solver bvp4c [52, 53]. The bvp4c is a collocation solver which uses Gauss–Lobatto points to compute accurate results. In bvp4c, the first-order system of ODEs remains the same as discussed in Section 3.1. However, the boundary conditions implemented in MATLAB are as follows:

5. Conclusions
The current analysis focuses on the unsteady MHD stagnation point flow of bionanofluid with internal heat generation/absorption in a permeable medium with thermal radiation and chemical reaction into account over a stretching and shrinking sheet. The significant findings of the problem are summarized as follows:
(1) The skin friction coefficient enhances for higher values of the unsteady parameter
(2) The increment in the Brownian motion parameter
(3) The concentration boundary layer thickness increases for the thermophoresis parameter
(4) The increment of the Brownian motion parameter
(5) Different trends have been seen for boundary layer thickness through graphs. Graphs describe that boundary layer thickness is different in the stretching sheet case when compared to the shrinking sheet case.
(6) The skin friction coefficient increases with the increase in porosity parameter

Abstract
This research aims at providing the theoretical effects of the unsteady MHD stagnation point flow of heat and mass transfer across a stretching and shrinking surface in a porous medium including internal heat generation/absorption, thermal radiation, and chemical reaction. The fundamental principles of the similarity transformations are applied to the governing partial differential equations (PDEs) that lead to ordinary differential equations (ODEs). The transformed ODEs are numerically solved by the shooting algorithm implemented in MATLAB, and verification is done from MATLAB built-in solver bvp4c. The numerical data produced for the skin friction coefficient, the local Nusselt number, and the local Sherwood number are compared with the available result and found to be in a close agreement. The impact of involved physical parameters on velocity, temperature, concentration, and density of motile microorganisms profiles is scrutinized through graphs. It is analyzed that the skin friction coefficient enhances with increasing values of an unsteady parameter
