Darcy–Forchheimer three-dimensional rotating flow of nanoliquid in the presence of activation energy and heat generation/absorption is examined. Heat and mass transport via convective process is considered. Buongiorno model has been employed to illustrate thermophoresis and Brownian diffusion effects. Adequate transformation procedure gives rise to system in terms of nonlinear ODE’s. An efficient numerical technique namely NDsolve is used to tackle the governing nonlinear system. The graphical illustrations examine the outcomes of various sundry variables. Heat and mass transfer rates are also computed and examined. Our results indicate that the temperature and concentration distributions are enhanced for larger values of porosity parameter and Forchheimer number.
