<p><em>This article deals with the effect of an inclined magnetic field with heat source/sink on the flow of nanofluids in a tapered asymmetric porous channel. Effect of chemical reaction has been taken into account. The blood is considered as an incompressible electrically conducting viscous fluid. The assumption of low Reynolds number and long wave length approximations has been adopted. Exact solutions for dimensionless axial velocity, concentration and temperature profile are obtained analytically. The obtained results are displayed and discussed in detail with the help of graphs for the variation of different emerging flow parameters.</em></p>

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to discuss the flow and heat transference of unsteady nanofluid thin film flow due to linear stretching velocity over a horizontally placed stretching sheet in corporation of aligned magnetic field and non-uniform heat source/sink.Design/methodology/approachLeading equations of the course have been normalized via similarity approach and unraveled the resulting non-linear equations numerically by consuming RK-4 shooting practice to execute flow analysis.FindingsA close agreement of two sets (for two different base fluids – polyvinyl alcohol and water) of result is perceived. The authors find that inclined magnetic field and nanoparticles concentration curbed velocity distribution which, in turn, causes enrichment of system of temperature distribution.Originality/valueThe paper acquires realistic numerical explanations in form of rapidly convergent series. The influence of emergent flow parameters on specific flow are made appropriately via graphs and charts. An unbiased result scrutiny of the existing section with formerly conveyed result is provided.
