“…The respective temperature and nanoparticle concentrations in the ambient medium are defined as ∞ T and ∞ C , respectively. Utilizing the Oberbeck-Boussinesq approximation, continuity, momentum, and nanoparticle concentration equations can be written as (Kairi and Murthy, 5 Narayana et al, 25 and Murthy et al 36 ) where components of the velocity along x-and y-directions are defined as u and v, respectively. The empirical constant (c) is a function of Forchheimer porous inertia term, K p is the permeability, μ ρ and f are defined as the viscosity and density of the nanofluid, respectively, g is the acceleration due to gravity, ∞ C is the ambient concentration of the nanoparticle, γ is the half angle of the cone with the vertical axis, β is defined by the volumetric thermal expansion coefficient of the nanofluid, τ ε ρc ρc = ( ) /( ) p f , D B and D T are the Brownian diffusion coefficient and the thermophoresis diffusion coefficient, respectively, C p is the specific heat at constant pressure, and ∞ T is the ambient temperature.…”
