This article is concerned with the nanofluid flow in a rotating frame under the simultaneous effects of thermal slip and convective boundary conditions. Arrhenius activation energy is another important aspect of the present study. Flow phenomena solely rely on the Darcy–Forchheimer-type porous medium in three-dimensional space to tackle the symmetric behavior of viscous terms. The stretching sheet is assumed to drive the fluid. Buongiorno’s model is adopted to see the features of Brownian diffusion and thermophoresis on the basis of symmetry fundamentals. Governing equations are modeled and transformed into ordinary differential equations by suitable transformations. Solutions are obtained through the numerical RK45-scheme, reporting the important findings graphically. The outputs indicate that larger values of stretching reduce the fluid velocity. Both the axial and transverse velocity fields undergo much decline due to strong retardation produced by the Forchheimer number. The thermal radiation parameter greatly raises the thermal state of the field. The temperature field rises for a stronger reaction within the fluid flow, however reducing for an intensive quantity of activation energy. A declination in the concentration profile is noticed for stronger thermophoresis. The Forchheimer number and porosity factors result in the enhancement of the skin friction, while both slip parameters result in a decline of skin friction. The thermal slip factor results in decreasing both the heat and mass flux rates. The study is important in various industrial applications of nanofluids including the electro-chemical industry, the polymer industry, geophysical setups, geothermal setups, catalytic reactors, and many others.

Discussion is presented on Hayat et al. [1]?s paper, where the researchers analyzed the MHD nanofluid flow past permeable stretching sheet. This discussion illustrates that there is a discrepancy in the coefficient of thermophoretic diffusion and coefficient of Brownian diffusion units utilizing the concentration and energy equations.
