dc.description.abstractAny material containing pores is termed a Porous media. Extensive research has been conducted on MHD nanofluid flow through porous materials. Included in these experiments are parallel-rotating plates surrounded by a porous channel and the influence of rotation on unstable couette flow. MHD nanofluid flow across a plate heated by convection atop a stretching sheet immersed in a porous medium has not been taken into account in any of these research. Consequently, the study’s goal is to investigate the motion of MHD nanofluids across a convectively heated plate superimposed on a radially expanding sheet embedded in a porous media. The model is formulated and non dimensionalised using similarity variables. By employing shooting technique to transform the boundary conditions and, Runge-Kutta scheme in MATLAB bvp4c, the system of ODEs are solved. The results obtained are displayed in graphs and others in tables. The results indicate that with increasing porosity, magnetism and surface rotation, the flow primary velocity decreases while the temperature profile surges. The findings from this study will provide beneficial theoretical insight on what parameters should be varied for maximum profit in a number of sectors like, power engineering sector, aerodynamic combination, drug recovery systems and water solar heating system.en_US
