Abstract

In this study, we investigated the momentum and heat transfer characteristics of Casson nanofluid flow over a rotating cone in a rotating frame filled with water based CoFe 2 O 4 nano particles. Heat flux conditions and wall temperature conditions are very important in controlling of up and down heat transport phenomena's in industrial as well as engineering application. Resulting set of coupled nonlinear governing equations are solved numerically using Runge–Kutta based shooting technique. In graphical results we presented dual solutions for the prescribed wall temperature (PWT) and prescribed heat flux (PHF) cases. The effect of governing parameters on velocity and temperature fields along with the skin friction coefficient and the heat transfer rate are presented with the help of graphs and tables. Results indicate that the rising values of the volume fraction of ferro particles and buoyancy parameter have tendency to improve the skin friction coefficient as well as the heat transfer rate for both the prescribed wall temperature (PWT) and prescribed heat flux (PHF) cases.
