Abstract

This paper devotedly study the double diffusive Darcian convection flow of Eyring-Powell fluid from a cone embedded in a homogeneous porous medium with the effects of Soret and Dufour. Arising set of non-linear partial differential equations are transformed through a suitable self-similar transformation into a set of nonlinear ordinary differential equations. Further, the numerical and the analytical solutions of the governing equations are elucidated by using numerical method as well as non-perturbation scheme. Numerical values are presented through tables for the skin friction coefficients, Nusselt number and Sherwood number. The obtained results are validated by comparing the analytical results with previously published results obtained by bvp4c for the numerical values of physical quantities. The effect of various parameters on the velocity, temperature and concentration profiles is discussed and also shown graphically.
