The two-dimensional laminar boundary layer flow and heat characteristics of silver (Ag) water based nanofluid with buoyancy effect over porous shrinking/stretching sheet has been considered. The shooting technique is used for numerical solutions to address the considered physical flow parameters. The numerical investigation shows that the triple solutions exists at the distinct ranges of parameters. Therefore, the analysis of stability is carried out to explore the reliability of solutions. The important results related to the stable solutions indicate that the skin friction declines for λ>0 and enhances for λ<0 when suction, and nanoparticles volume fractions are enhanced. An increase in rate of suction decreases velocity and the temperature profiles. Besides, an increase in silver nanoparticles volume fraction increases velocity and the temperature profiles, respectively. An augmentation in thermal slip factor reduced the temperature. The decrement in heat sink/source constraint resulted the lower temperature.
