The present flow problem consists of continuity, linear momentum, thermal energy, and nanoparticle concentration equation which are simplified with the help of Oberbeck-Boussinesq approximation. The resulting highly nonlinear coupled partial differential equations are solved numerically by means of the shooting method (SM). The expression of local Nusselt number and local Sherwood number are also taken into account and discussed with the help of table. The physical influence of all the emerging parameters such as Brownian motion parameter, thermophoresis parameter, Brinkmann number, Richardson number, nanoparticle flux parameter, Lewis number and suction parameter are demonstrated graphically. In particular, we conferred their influence on velocity profile, temperature profile, nanoparticle concentration profile and Entropy profile.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/e18060223","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2016,6,8]],"date-time":"2016-06-08T11:26:26Z","timestamp":1465385186000},"page":"223","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":67,"title":["Entropy Generation on Nanofluid Flow through a Horizontal Riga Plate"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"18","author":[{"given":"Tehseen","family":"Abbas","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Mathematics, Quaid-I-Azam University, Islamabad 44000, Pakistan"}]},{"given":"Muhammad","family":"Ayub","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Mathematics, Quaid-I-Azam University, Islamabad 44000, Pakistan"}]},{"given":"Muhammad","family":"Bhatti","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Shanghai Institute of Applied Mathematics and Mechanics, Shanghai University, Shanghai 200072, China"}]},{"given":"Mohammad","family":"Rashidi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Shanghai Key Lab of Vehicle Aerodynamics and Vehicle Thermal Management Systems, Tongji University, Shanghai 201804, China"},{"name":"ENN-Tongji Clean Energy Institute of Advanced Studies, Tongji University, Shanghai 200072, China"}]},{"given":"Mohamed","family":"Ali","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Mechanical Engineering Department, College of Engineering, King Saud University, P.
