This study aims to study the fluid flow, heat transfer and entropy production on a porous expanded rapidly in Nano-fluids in the attendance slip boundary condition numerically. In this regard, various metals will be considered as nanoparticles with water as base fluid. Nano-fluid that the distribution of nanoscale particles in conventional fluid caused by a new generation of fluids with great potential in industrial applications. The effects of various physical parameters of the problem was examined, such as the volume fraction of nanoparticles, different types of nanoparticles, magnetic parameters, parameter sliding speed, and suction parameters on curves speed and temperature and entropy production. The results show that there was an increase in the entropy production with increasing volume fraction of nanoparticles in heat transfer and thermal boundary layer thickness.
