The need for effective heating and cooling systems in the automotive, chemical, and aerospace industries is driving a rapid proliferation of heat-transfer technology. In recent times, GO (Graphene Oxide) has been emerging as one of the most promising nanoparticles because of its uninterrupted behavior of electrical conductivity even at a minimum carrier concentration. Due to this incentive, the behavior of jet flow with heat and mass transfer features of electrically conducting based kerosene oil (KO) fluid dispensed by graphene nanoparticles was studied. In addition, the activation energy, irregular heat source/sink, thermophoretic particle deposition, and chemical reaction are also provoked. In order to provide numerical results, the boundary value problem of fourth-order (bvp4c) solver was used. The graphs were used to illustrate the effects of relevant parameters on the fluid flow, heat, and mass transfer rates. The incorporation of graphene nanoparticles significantly improves heat conductivity. Additionally, the nanoparticle volume fraction augments the temperature and concentration profile while the velocity profile declines. Moreover, the temperature enhances due to the heat source, whilst the contrary behavior is observed in the presence of the heat sink. Furthermore, the shear stress increases up to 12.3%, the Nusselt number increases up to 0.119%, and the Sherwood number increases up to 0.006% due to the presence of nanofluid. Finally, we can conclude that the latest work will be useful for thermal cooling systems, including cooling for engines and generators, nuclear systems, aviation refrigeration systems, and other systems.
