Abstract: | Mixed convection flow of a nanofluid near a vertical cone embedded in a a porous medium with Soret and Dufour effects is exercised. The bearing of a porous medium is recounted by the Darcy model. The partial differential equations, modeling the concerned problem, is nondimensionalised by implementing compatible transformations, which results in a similar form. A new paired spectral quasilinearization method is adopted to get the accurate numerical solution. Convergence and accuracy of the solution is elaborated by analyzing the norm of residual and solution errors. Alteration of velocity, temperature, nanoparticle and solute concentration profiles due to flow controlling parameters, namely, Brownian motion, thermophoresis, Soret, Dufour, Lewis number, and buoyancy ratio is outlined by reproducing the obtained numerical solution in graphs and tables. Analysis reveals that the flow profiles are greatly influenced by the physical parameters under investigation. |
