| Abstract | The problem of steady, laminar, mixed convection, boundary layer flow of a nonNewtonian power-law fluid over a wedge embedded in a porous medium filled with a nonfluid is considered. The model used for the nanofluid incorporates the effects of Brownian motion and thermophoresis. A mixed convection parameter for the entire range of free-forced-mixed convection is employed and a set of non-similar equations are obtained. These equations are solved numerically by an efficient implicit, iterative, finitedifference method. A parametric study illustrating the influence of the various physical parameters on temperature and nano-particle volume fraction profiles as well as the local Nusselt and Sherwood numbers is conducted. The obtained results are illustrated graphically and the physical aspects of the problem are discussed. |
