The present investigation explores the impact of the prominent anisotropic slip on unsteady three dimensional flow of a an incompressible nanofluid over an inclined stretching surface saturated with porous medium subject to convective boundary condition. The governing coupled, non-linear partial differential equations are solved by Thomas algorithm with finite-difference type. The impacts of several significant parameters on flow and heat transfer characteristics are exhibited in form of figures. The results indicate that the local skinfriction coefficients and local Nusselt number were reduced sufficiently with the enlargement in the velocity slip factors and solid volume fraction. Further, the local skin friction coefficients and local Nusselt number visualize a huge enhancement with promoting the Biot number.
