•MHD flow from a moving porous surface is modeled.•Buongiorno nanofluid model is utilized to capture rheological features of Brownian motion and thermophoresis.•Transpiration and chemical reaction effect are considered.•Homotopy algorithm is implemented to tackle the nonlinear mathematical systems.
No doubt the non-Newtonian rheological fluids via stretchable surface has ample applications in sustainability of natural resources, glass fiber production, aerodynamic plastic extrusion sheets, paper production, cooling of an infinite metallic plate in a cooling bath and manufacturing of polymeric sheets. Keeping the aforesaid applications in mind, the objective of current investigation is to describe the heat generation and heat absorption impacts in magnetized stagnation-point flow induced by porous convected surface. Considered nanoliquid model encompasses Brownian motion and thermophoresis effect. Rheological relations of non-Newtonian thixotropic model are developed for flow formulation. Heat transfer effects are addressed considering Joule heating, thermal Robin conditions and viscous dissipation. Characteristics of mass transfer are elaborated under solutal Robin conditions and first-order chemical reaction. Similarity variables are introduced to achieve the non-dimensional form of mathematical systems. Homotopy algorithm is implemented to tackle the nonlinear mathematical systems. Significance of flow variables are investigated via graphs. Our analysis reports reduction in temperature and concentration distributions subjected to higher heat absorption (sink) parameter and destructive reaction parameter respectively.
