Natural convection from a vertical permeable cone in a nanofluid saturated porous media for uniform heat and nanoparticles volume fraction fluxes.

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to study steady, laminar, natural convection boundary-layer flow over a permeable vertical cone embedded in a porous medium saturated with a nanofluid in the presence of uniform lateral mass flux. Design/methodology/approach – The paper studies steady, laminar, natural convection boundary-layer flow over a permeable vertical cone embedded in a porous medium saturated with a nanofluid in the presence of uniform lateral mass flux. Findings – The presence of nanoparticles has significant effects of heat transfer. Originality/value – The area of nanofluids is very original. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
