“…The boundary‐layer flow of non‐Newtonian fluids in a porous medium in which the major leading force is gravity has inspired a large class of applications in engineering practices, geology, and ground water flow, particularly in applied geophysics and oil reservoir engineering. Hady and colleagues focused on the Soret effect on boundary‐layer flow of a non‐Newtonian nanofluid over a vertical cone in a porous medium. Mixed convection boundary‐layer flow of a nanofluid in a porous medium past an exponentially stretching wall with magnetic field, chemical reaction, and heat generation/absorption has been probed by Eid …”

This work is focused on steady flow and heat transfer in a porous medium saturated with a Sisko nanofluid (nonNewtonian power-law) over a nonlinearly stretching sheet in the presence of heat generation/absorption. Nonlinear PDEs are transformed into a system of coupled nonlinear ODEs with related boundary conditions using similarity transformation. The reduced equations are then solved numerically using the Runge-Kutta-Fehlberg fourth-fifth order method (RKF45) with Maple 14.0 software. The solutions depend on the power-law index n and the effect of pertinent parameter such as the Brownian motion parameter, thermophoresis parameter, Lewis number, the permeability, and the heat generation/absorption on the dimensionless velocity, temperature, and nanoparticles volume fraction and also on the skin friction, local Nusselt, and Sherwood numbers are produced for values of the influence parameter. A rapprochement of the numerical results of the actual study with formerly published data detected an excellent agreement.
