Uniform lateral mass flux effect on natural convection of non-Newtonian fluids over a cone in porous media

Soret effect on natural convection boundary-layer flow of a nonNewtonian nanofluid over a vertical cone embedded in a porous medium

“…We adopt the model of non-Newtonian power-law fluid flow in a porous medium proposed by Christopher and Middleman [27] and Dharmadhikari and Kale [28]. The governing equations for the problem under consideration with the boundary-layer and Boussinesq approximations and the modified Darcy-law can be written as (see Yih [8]): …”

“…Mehta and Rao [7] investigated buoyancy induced flow of non-Newtonian fluids over a nonisothermal horizontal plate embedded in a porous medium. The effect of uniform lateral mass flux on natural convection about a cone embedded in a saturated porous medium is numerically analyzed by Yih [8]. Chamkha [9] considered coupled heat and mass transfer by mixed convection for a non-Newtonian power-law fluid flow over a permeable wedge embedded in a fluid-saturated porous medium.…”

Boundary Layer Flow over a Non-linearly Stretching Sheet with Ethylene Glycol Based Nanofluid

“…Specifically, such flows are generated in fibres spinning, extrusion of polymers, hot rolling glass blowing, continuous casting and manufacturing of plastic and rubber sheets. The steady mixed convection boundary layer flow from an isothermal horizontal circular cylinder inserted in a porous media filled by a nanofluid was examined by Nazar et al [2].Yih [3][4][5][6] analyzed the boundary layer analysis of natural convection over a cone. Sanaad and Mohebujjaman [7] investigated the case along a vertical stretching sheet in presence of magnetic field and heat generation.…”

Effects of radiation on mixed convection in power law fluids along a vertical wedge embedded in a saturated porous medium under prescribed surface heat flux condition

“…Nakayama et al [5] used Non-Darcy model to study effect of free convection over vertical flat plate and cone across saturated porous medium. Yih [6] performed natural convection effects using lateral mass flux effect on Non-Newtonian fluids along vertical cone. Mahmoud and Megahed [7] studied diffusion-thermo effects on heat and mass transfer by mixed convection of non-Newtonian power-law fluids over a vertical permeable surface embedded in a saturated porous medium.…”
