EFFECTS OF CHEMICAL REACTION AND HEAT GENERATION ON DOUBLE-DIFFUSIVE NATURAL CONVECTION ALONG A NON-ISOTHERMAL VERTICAL CONE IN NON-NEWTONIAN FLUID SATURATED POROUS MEDIUM WITH VARIABLE VISCOSITY AND THERMAL RADIATION

In this work, we studied of variable viscosity, Dufour and Soret effects on free convection heat and mass transfer of a non-Newtonian power-law fluid over a vertical full cone in a saturated porous medium in the presence of chemical reaction, non uniform heat generation and thermal radiation. The transformed nonlinear ordinary differential equations are solved numerically using the fourth-order Runge-Kutta method coupled with the shooting method. The influences of various parameters on the local Nusselt number and the local Sherwood number are presented and discussed.
