Abstract

Abstract : Purpose: The purpose of this study is to examine the Darcy–Forchheimer flow of viscous nanoliquid because of a rotating disk. Thermophoretic diffusion and random motion aspects are retained. Heat and mass transfer features are analyzed through convective conditions. Design/methodology/approach: The governing systems are solved numerically by the shooting technique. Findings: Higher porosity parameter and Forchheimer number Fr depict similar trend for both velocity profiles f' and g. Both temperature and concentration profiles show increasing behavior for higher Forchheimer number Fr. An increase in Prandtl number Pr corresponds to lower temperature profile, while opposite trend is noticed for thermal Biot number. Larger concentration Biot number exhibits increasing behavior for both concentration and its associated layer thickness. Originality/value: To the best of the author's knowledge, no such consideration has been given in the literature yet.
