Abstract : The impact of nanofluid (NF) circulation under gyrotactic microorganisms and endo/exothermic chemical reactions across a permeable medium is the primary emphasis of this investigation. Sodium Alginate and Silicon dioxide are the base fluid and nanoparticle utilised here. The governing equations are reduced to a set of ODEs by employing the appropriate similarity variables. To get the numerical results, the shooting method and RungeKutta Fehlberg's fourth fifth order (RKF-45) are implemented. The numerical outcomes are conveyed graphically across numerous parameters. In addition, the engineering factors are analyzed and explained. It was found that the velocity profile decreased with the enhanced Casson and porous parameter values. An increment in temperature profile is experienced during exothermic reaction and is reduced for endothermic reaction and also the concentration profile got accelerated as the impact of chemical reaction parameter is upsurged. There is a significant growth in surface drag force from NF to base liquid of about 2%, rate of thermal and mass distribution of about 0.1% in context to various constraints.
