Abstract: With the inclusion of viscous dissipation, heat generation, and injection/suction effects, the mixed convective heat and mass transfer in aluminum oxide - water nanofluid flow along an inclined plate in a porous medium is numerically explored. Influential similarity transformations are used to convert the governing physical model of flow, which is expressed as a system of dimensional partial differential equations, into a set of dimensionless ordinary differential equations. The applicable Nachtsheim-Swigert approach and sixthorder Runge-Kutta integration process are used to numerically solve the relevant dimensionless ordinary differential equations and accompanying boundary conditions. The nanofluid flow's characteristics are evaluated for key parameters. The acquired numerical findings are reasonable and consistent with earlier accomplished numerical results from published literature. It is observed that as the Eckert number and the heat generation parameter grow, the velocity and temperature of the nanofluid flow field drop.
