The use of nanofluid in thermal applications dramatically enhanced the pattern of heat and mass transmission, which is essential in numerous engineering and industrial areas. Numerous innovative applications in solar energy and thermal engineering can be attributed to the consideration of nanofluid. Additionally, motile microorganisms, which have applications in enzymes, bioengineering, biomedicine, biofuels and petroleum sciences, perfectly improve the stability of nanofluid. The study of nanofluid has several dynamic applications in renewable energy and thermodynamic engineering problems. The aim of this paper is to discuss the chemical viscous dissipative transport of Buongiorno’s nanofluid across an inclined plane, considering Brownian movement and thermophoresis effects. The governing equations and the associated boundary conditions are normalized using the non-similarity transformation approach. The key variables and corresponding non-similarity solutions are provided to summarize the transpiration parameters. The Keller’s Box method is used to obtain the mathematical solutions. The numerical findings are given for various thermos-physical parameter values both physically and quantitatively. The graphical effects of various thermos-physical factors on momentum, energy, nanoparticle volume fraction concentration, shear stress rate, heat and mass transfer rates are examined and well discussed. The results show strong associations when compared to previously published literature. A slight increase in velocity with a rise in Kr values. Whereas, a slight decrease in temperature with an increase in Kr values and a strong decrease in nanoparticle volume fraction concentration with an increase in Kr values. A significant increase in velocity and temperature is seen with an increase in Ec and Nb values while nanoparticle volume fraction concentration is seen to decrease slightly.
