Summary:The applications of nanofluids (NFs) have been comprehensively explored in current years, as they have abundant potential for technical progress and more prominently offer assistances that can be associated with the applications of NFs for several determinations. Nanotechnology can be applied in various technological fields such as medicine, information technologies, food safety and novel materials. Here, novel properties of entropy generation in a mixed convective magneto flow of a Sutterby nanomaterial to an extended surface is scrutinized. Nanofluid model comprises Brownian motion and thermophoresis aspects. The expression of energy depends upon the phenomenon of viscous dissipation and thermal radiation. We formulated the Bejan number and entropy generation. To reduce PDEs into nonlinear ODEs, we use transformation of variables and then the resultant system is solved by bvp4c technique. The influence of the parameters involved, such as thermal radiation, chemical reaction parameter, diffusive variable, magnetic parameter, thermophoresis parameter and Schmidt number for temperature, concentration as well as Bejan number, entropy generation are inspected through tables and graphs.
