In this paper, we study the effects of thermophoresis and non-linear convection on mixed convective flow of viscous incompressible rotating fluid due to rapidly rotating cone in a porous medium, whose surface temperature and concentration are higher than the temperature and concentration of its surrounding fluid. The governing equations for the conservation of mass, momentum, energy, and concentration are transformed, using similarity transformations and the solutions are obtained by employing shooting method that uses Runge-Kutta method and Newton-Raphson method. A comparison of the present results with previously published work for special cases shows a good agreement. The effects of temperature and concentration, ratio of angular velocities, relative temperature difference parameter, thermophoretic coefficients on velocity, temperature, and concentration profiles as well as tangential and circumferential skin friction coefficients, Nusselt number, and Sherwood number results are discussed in detail. The results indicate that the temperature is more influential compared to concentration. Also, the wall thermophoretic deposition velocity changes according to different values of pertinent parameter. Applications of the study arise in aerosol technology, space technology, astrophysics, and geophysics, which related to temperature-concentration-dependent density.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
