文摘This paper discusses the natural convection boundary layer flow of a micropo- lax nanofluid over a vertical permeable cone with variable wall temperatures. Non-similax solutions are obtained. The nonlineaxly coupled differential equations under the boundary layer approximations governing the flow axe solved numerically using an efficient, itera- tive, tri-diagonal, implicit finite difference method. Different experimental correlations for both nanofluid effective viscosity and nanofluid thermal conductivity are considered. It is found that as the vortex-viscosity parameter increases, both the velocity profiles and the local Nusselt number decrease. Also, among all the nanoparticles considered in this investigation, Cu gives a good convection.
