✦ Synopsis

This paper studies the double diffusion flow over a vertical truncated cone with variable heat and mass fluxes in a porous medium saturated with non-Newtonian power-law fluids. A coordinate transformation is used to obtain the nonsimilar governing equations, and the transformed boundary layer equations are then solved by the cubic spline collocation method. Results for local surface temperature and concentration are presented as functions of power-law indexes, exponents for variable heat and mass fluxes, buoyancy ratios, and Lewis numbers. The local surface temperature and concentration of the truncated cone decrease as the exponents for variable heat and mass fluxes are increased. Moreover, a decrease in the power-law index of fluids tends to decrease the local surface temperature and concentration of the truncated cone.
