Abstract In this paper, the influence of chemical reaction and heat source/sink on an unsteady magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) nanofluid flow that squeezed between two radiating parallel plates embedded in porous media is investigated analytically. We consider water as base fluid and aluminum oxide (Al2O3) as its nanoparticle. We reduced the basic partial differential equations to ordinary differential equations which are solved by the homotopy analysis method (HAM). The effects of the squeeze number, permeability parameter of porous media, Hartmann number, thermal radiation parameter, Prandtl number, heat source/sink parameter, Eckert number, Schmidt number, and scaled parameter of chemical reaction on the flow, heat, and mass transfer are considered and assigned to graphs. The physical quantities such as Sherwood number, Nusselt number, and skin friction coefficient are computed for Al2O3–water, TiO2–water, Ag–water, and Cu–water nanofluids and assigned through graphs.

The effects of chemical reaction and thermal-diffusion mixed convection heat and mass transfer for Hiemenz flow through porous media has been studied. The plate is embedded in a uniform porous medium in order to allow for possible fluid wall suction or blowing and has a power-law variation of both the wall temperature and concentration. We used similarity solution to transform the system of partial differential equations, into a boundary value problem of coupled ordinary differential equations. We then solve these ordinary differential equations by a MATLAB routine bvp4c. We conducted a parametric study of all involved parameters and the results represented graphically.
