The influence of thermophoretic transport of Al2O3 nanoparticles on heat and mass transfer in viscoelastic flow of oil-based nanofluid past porous exponentially stretching surface with activation energy has been examined. Similarity technique was employed to transform the governing partial differential equations into a coupled fourth-order ordinary differential equations which were reduced to a system of first-order ordinary differential equations and then solved numerically using the fourth-order Runge-Kutta algorithm with a shooting method. The results for various controlling parameters were tabulated and graphically illustrated. It was found that the thermophoretic transport of Al2O3 nanoparticles did not affect the rate of flow and heat transfer at the surface but it affected the rate of mass transfer of the nanofluid which decayed the solutal boundary layer thickness. This study also revealed that activation energy retards the rate of mass transfer which causes a thickening of the solutal boundary layer.

A numerical approach has been adopted to investigate the steady chemically mixed convection boundary layer flow from the right face of a vertical plate of finite thickness. Cold fluid flowing over the right face of the plate contains a heat generation that decays exponentially with a dimensionless distance from the surface. The left face of the plate is in contact with a hot flowing fluid. The heating process on that side is characterized by a convective boundary condition that takes into account the conduction resistance of the plate as well as a possible contact resistance between the hot fluid and the left face of the plate. Using a pseudo similarity approach, the governing equations for the mixed convective flow over the right face of the plate are transformed into a set of coupled ordinary differential equations which give local similarity solutions. The effects of local Grashof numbers (defined to represent a mixed convection parameter), Prandtl number, and the internal heat generation parameter on the velocity, temperature and concentration profiles are illustrated and interpreted in physical terms.
