Mixed convection flow about a solid sphere embedded in a porous medium filled with a nanofluid

A steady laminar mixed convection boundary layer flow about an isothermal solid sphere embedded in a porous medium filled with a nanofluid has been studied for both cases of assisting and opposing flows. The transformed boundary layer equations were solved numerically using an implicit finite-differ...
