The present study describes the unsteady mixed convection nanofluid flow past a vertical shrinking porous surface in occurrence of slips and heat source/sink. Applying proper transformations, the foremost differential equations which are partial in nature are changed into non‐linear differential equations which are ordinary in nature. With the support of Runge–Kutta method, shooting technique is used to find out the numerical solutions of the system of equations stated above. The effects of diverse leading parameters like unsteady parameter, velocity slip parameter, suction/injection parameter, thermal slip parameter, and heat source/sink parameter are offered and explained physically. Also, the coefficient of skin friction and rates of surface heat and mass transport for a number of parameters are investigated numerically.
