Abstract : The influence of thermal radiation adds a new dimension to studying flow and thermal transmission in a viscous fluid across a stretched surface. Radiative effects are significant in engineering and physics, particularly in technology used in space and extreme-thermal operations. Thermal radiation and thermal distribution research are significant in astrophysical movements, solar power machinery, and other industrial provinces. On the other hand, research results on vaporizer particles' deposition on exteriors have been useful in various engineering fields. Based on the above-mentioned relevant applications, the current work examines the temperature, mass, and flow distributions in the presence of nanofluid while considering thermophoretic particle deposition (TPD) and thermal radiation over three distinct geometries (cone, wedge, and plate). By selecting appropriate similarity variables, the equations corresponding to the proposed flow are transformed into ordinary differential equations (ODEs). The RKF-45 approach and a shooting system are used to evaluate the reduced equations. The important factors that affect the heat, mass, and flow profiles are deliberated with the support of graphs. The velocity profile decreases with improved values of magnetic and porosity parameters. Thermal distribution enhances with rising radiation parameter. The concentration profile improves with the thermophoresis constraint. The rate of mass distribution is augmented with improvement in the thermophoretic parameter.
