This paper presents computational analyses of the efects of the nanoparticle’s shapes, heat, and mass transmission on the radiative nanofuid fow over a stretching Riga plate. Various nanoparticles shapes are considered, namely bricks- shaped, cylinder- shaped, platelets- shaped, and disk- shaped; those are governed using values of constants A and B in the correlations of the nanofuid dynamic viscosity. Besides, several signifcant infuences are assumed such as constant Lorentz force, non-linear thermal radiation, viscous dissipation, heat generation, and convective boundary conditions. The solution methodology is based on similarity analyses and the obtained system is solved numerically. The entropy generation in all the aforementioned cases is examined. The given outcomes are represented in terms of the profles of velocity, temperature, system entropy, and heat transfer rate together with the contours of the streamlines and isotherms. The fndings disclosed that the sphere-shaped nanoparticles give higher values of the skin friction coefcient −CfRe1∕2 while the platelets-shaped cause lower values of −CfRe1∕2. Additionally, the system irreversibility is enhanced as the thermal radiation coefcient(Rd), solid volume fraction (휑), Brinkman number (Br,) or space-dependent heat source coefcient(QE)is enhanced.
