Abstract In this paper, we investigated the influence of melting on mixed convection heat and mass transfer from the vertical flat plate in a non-Newtonian
nanofluid saturated porous medium. The wall and the ambient medium are maintained at constant, but different, levels of temperature and
concentration. The Ostwald–de Waele power-law model is used to characterize the non-Newtonian nanofluid behavior. A similarity solution for the
transformed governing equations is obtained. The numerical computation is carried out for various values of the non-dimensional physical
parameters. The variation of temperature, concentration, heat and mass transfer coefficients with the power-law index, mixed convection parameter,
melting… More >
