Sumario:Owing to the improved thermophysical properties of nano-materials, the nanofluid convey novel applications in industries, engineering as well as bio-medicals. With high efficiency performances, the nanoparticles include applications in various cooling and heating systems, energy production, aerospace engineering, thermal extrusion, bio-medical applications like treatment of diseases, brain tumour, surgical applications and many more. Moreover, the magneto-nanofluids have the characteristics in the flow of blood in the human artery. The current analysis deals with the free convective unsteady flow of viscous nanofluid subject to the magnetic force over a vertical plate in presence of porous space. The heat transfer phenomenon is accessed by utilizing the additional features like Joule heating, viscous dissipation and absorption coefficients. In addition to the volume fraction of the nanofluid, the effect of the chemical reaction is also introduced. The solution procedure for the modified time-dependent boundary value problem is performed by using the code in-build MATLAB namely Built-in-Shooting method. The change in velocity, temperature and concentration of nano-materials is examined through various graphs. The physical consequences of flow parameters like porosity parameter Kp1⩽Kp⩽3, thermal Grashoff number Gr 1⩽Gr⩽3, solutal Grashoff number Gc1⩽Gc⩽3, magnetic field parameter M1⩽M⩽3, thermal radiation parameter Nr0.1⩽Nr⩽1, radiation absorption parameter Q0⩽Q⩽0.5, Prandtl number Pr2⩽Pr⩽21, Eckert number Ec0⩽Ec⩽0.4, heat source S-0.2⩽S⩽0.2, chemical reaction parameter Kc1⩽Kc⩽4, nanoparticles volume fraction ϕ0.0⩽ϕ⩽0.1, Lewis number Le1⩽Le⩽10 on velocity, temperature and concentration distributions is graphically analyzed. The results show that skin friction coefficients decline with buoyant forces. A lower numerical variation in Nusselt number is resulted with heat source parameter. Moreover, a sharp fall in nanofluid concentration is noticed with increment of chemical reactants and Lewis number.
