Abstract: Entropy generation and activation energy analysis on MHD heat and mass transfer of Jeffrey nanofluid under the impact of nonlinear thermal radiation and heat source/sink (non-uniform) over a linearly stretching sheet has been investigated numerically using Spectral Quasilinearization Method (SQLM). The Brownian motion with thermophoretic effects has been utilized. The basic equations concerned with the problem are solved numerically. The impacts of different governing physical parameters are analyzed on the velocity, temperature, and concentration fields, along with entropy generation, and Bejan number profiles are analyzed graphically. It is found that the concentration profiles have a mixed tendency with magnetic parameters. In addition, the temperature profiles increase in the presence of Brownian motion with thermophoresis effects, whereas the composite behavior is noticed on the entropy generation profiles. It is also found that both the temperature and concentration profiles diminish for various values of Deborah number while the velocity profile increases. Also, it is noticed that both the temperature profiles increase for enhanced values of the space-dependent and time-dependent parameters. Due to activation energy, the Bejan number profiles decrease, whereas the entropy generation profiles increase far away from the expandable sheet but decrease closer to the sheet.
