The presence of nanometric particles in the base fluids lead to form nanofluids. Nanofluids are prominent due to their astonishing features in thermally conducting flows and in the development of electronic and mechanical devices. Based on these motivations, we have designed our article to investigate the thermal conduction features in the free and forced convection flow of unsteady Carreau nanofluid due to stretching cylinder with the effects of variable magnetic field. Moreover, the transport of thermal energy in the flow is properly examined by including the impacts of variable thermal conductivity and nonuniform heat rise/fall. Furthermore, the transport of solutal energy in the flow of nanofluid is encountered under the influences of activation energy and binary chemical reactions. A momentous feature of this study is to employ the zero-mass flux condition at the wall of the cylinder. A section of this study is proposed for mathematical modelling of the current problem. Moreover, the impacts of involved physical constraints are explored by employing an efficient numerical technique namely bvp4c. The features of all physical constraints on flow, thermal and solutal curves are illustrated in the form of graphs and discussed with reasonable physical arguments in discussion section of the article. The core findings of this study are mentioned in the section of closing remarks. The core upshot of the current study is that the nanoparticles concentration rate of nanofluid depicts ascending trend for escalating values of activation energy constraint. A significant upsurge in the coefficients of skin friction and Nusselt number is detected with an escalation in the constraints of buoyancy and thermophoresis forces, respectively. The references regarding this article are also provided at the end.
