The study investigated how thermo diffusion alters fluid properties, the heat absorption capacity of permeable media, the stability of MHD heat transfer in Jeffrey nanofluid under convective boundary conditions, and key dimensionless factors governing the flow. The mathematical model was initially transformed into ordinary differential equations via Lie symmetry group renovation. These renovated equations were then numerically solved using a bvp4c MATLAB solver, with outcomes presented through graphs and tables. The porosity, magnetic and Jeffrey parameters notably diminish the velocity of Jeffrey nanofluid. Significant enhancements in temperature flow were observed with the inclusion of nonlinear thermal radiation, heat source-sink parameters, and the Biot number. Additionally, the Soret parameter positively influences mass transfer, while the Lewis number and chemical reaction parameters act as stabilizing factors. Considering the unique properties of Jeffrey fluids in conjunction with nanomaterials, the findings of this study are anticipated to hold practical significance in industries such as polymer, metallurgy, chemicals, and automobiles.
