Abstract
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.
