“…Natural convection studies with linear heat generation in fluid flow are of significant importance in solving several technological and physical problems. These studies have also attracted a significant research audience (Molla et al, 2006, 2009, Cheng, 2009, Kasim et al, 2011, Azim and Chowdhury, 2013, Zainuddin et al, 2016, Adeniyan et al, 2021, Opadiran, 2021. However, there are limited studies on the natural convection boundary layer flow with constant or inhomogeneous material properties around a horizontal cylinder.…”
