description The current article discloses the influence of the hyperbolic tangent nanofluid on time dependent flow through a microchannel when a magnetic field is applied. The porous medium was incorporated using the Darcy–Forchheimer model. The chemical reaction is explained by Arrhenius activation energy. Temperature is determined by convective boundary conditions. The irreversibility occurring in the flow is analyzed. The modeled problem gives rise to partial differential equations, which are computed by finite difference method. Response surface methodology, an optimization technique, is used to attain the optimal conditions for entropy generated for the flow of fluid. Results of the analysis reveal that concentration decreases with the rise in reaction rate parameter and increases with activation energy parameter. Prandtl and Eckert numbers, with their increase, enhance entropy, and fluid friction irreversibility is at its highest. Perfect co-relation is attained for the model by the response surface methodology, with a co-relation coefficient of 100 %. The Weissenberg number is highly sensitive to change in the present modeling, followed by Darcy and Reynolds numbers. The Reynolds number and Darcy number show positive sensitivity, while the Weissenberg number shows negative sensitivity to the entropy generated.
