AB - The effect of thermal radiation, heat generation, suction/injection,  nanoparticles type, and nanoparticle volume fraction on heat transfer  characteristics and the mechanical properties of unsteady moving cylinder  embedded into cooling medium consist of water with Cu; Ag or Al2O3 particles  are studied. The governing time dependent boundary layer equations are  transformed to ordinary differential equations containing unsteadiness  parameter, thermal radiation parameter, heat source parameter,  suction/injection parameter, curvature parameter, nanoparticle volume  fraction and Prandlt number. These equations are solved numerically. The  velocity and Temperature profiles within the boundary layer are plotted and  discussed in details for various values of the different parameters. Also the  effects of the cooling medium and the external thermal forces on the  mechanical properties of the cylinder are investigated.
