This research article investigates the bioconvective flow of a second-grade fluid along a curved surface, considering non-Newtonian behavior and diverse influencing factors such as heat generation, chemical reactions, slip, Lorentz force, and viscous dissipation. By employing MATLAB's bvp4c tool and the similarity transformations, the nondimensional partial differential equations are solved. We discover that the stable and unstable solutions differ significantly from one another, which has significant consequences for industries including microfluidic devices and curved surface manufacturing. The study also examines the effects of homogenous and heterogenous reaction parameters on reactant concentrations, revealing that higher values reduce concentration, particularly for the second solution. Designing effective heat exchangers and chemical reactors requires consideration of the sensitivity of skin friction coefficient and Nusselt number to curvature, slip, and heat generation, as demonstrated by this work. The findings may guide future experimental study and yield important insights for optimization of bioconvective systems.
