Abstract
The present article examines the double diffusion mixed convective nanofluid flow over a wedge and cone in which slip effects as Brownian motion and the thermophoretic parameter are considered. Mixed convective flow over wedges and cones is applied in different technical fields such as fiber technology, nuclear cooling systems, surface treatment, spray deposition techniques, and polymer production. Double diffusion is increasingly significant in scientific fields like astronomy, geosciences, oceanography, and chemical processes. Mixed convection occurs in several applications such as electric devices, solar panels, nuclear power plants, heat exchangers, radiators, and atmospheric boundary layer fluxes. The governing equations of the study are highly coupled nonlinear partial differential equations with surface constraints. The process of similarity transformation used to converts partial differential equations into nondimensional ordinary differential equations, which can be resolved using the MATLAB Bvp5c function. The graphical representation and detailed analysis of variations in velocity, temperature, and concentration distributions of nanofluids are presented. As the mixed convection parameter increases, the fluid’s velocity rises, with a more pronounced effect observed in the cone compared to the wedge. As the Brownian diffusion parameter grows, the fluid temperature increases, and velocity is more pronounced in the wedge scenario compared to the cone. Moreover, an increase in the thermophoresis parameter results in an elevation in the fluid’s temperature. Additionally, the wedge has a higher concentration of fluid and nanoparticles compared to the wedge. Fluid concentration falls with increasing Schmidt number, but fluid nanoparticle concentration decreases with increasing Lewis number.
