A Permeable Vertical Cone Immersed in a Porous Media Saturated with a Nanofluid and Surrounded by a Natural Convection Boundary Layer of a Non-Newtonian Fluid

Abstract

A non-Newtonian fluid's free convection boundary-layer flow over a permeable vertical cone embedded in a porous media saturated with a nanofluid was analyzed in order to determine the impact of uniform transpiration velocity. The effects of thermophoresis and Brownian motion are included in the nanofluid model. An effective implicit, iterative, finite-difference method is used to numerically solve the governing partial differential equations once they have been converted into a collection of non-similar equations.
Work that has already been published is compared. In order to demonstrate intriguing aspects of the solutions, a parametric investigation of the physical parameters is carried out, and a typical set of numerical results for the velocity, temperature, and volume fraction profiles as well as the local Nusselt and Sherwood numbers are graphically displayed.
