Abstract
This study investigates the effects of an unsteady mixed convection nanofluid flow in a rotating vertical cone submerged in spinning nanofluid. Our analysis considered the impacts of heat flux, chemical reactions, and thermal radiation, with the thermal and concentration Biot numbers serving as constraints at the boundary. The governing unsteady and coupled partial differential equations were solved through appropriate similarity transformations, addressing the nonlinear terms inherent in these equations. The spectral quasi-linearisation method (SQLM) was employed to solve the higher-order nonlinear differential equations. This study elucidates and assesses the impact of diverse physical constraints and parameters through the use of graphical representations. Notably, the temperature distribution of the liquefied substance was intensified as the thermal and solutal Biot numbers increased.
