Abstract The present framework addresses the buoyancy assisting heat and mass transfer of a slender body of revolution, positioned in a saturated porous medium considering thermal radiation and Buongiorno's model. In this analysis, the results are presented for the flow behavior over a paraboloid, a cone, and a cylinder. The governing flow equations are solved and validated numerically by adopting Runge-Kutta-Fehlberg method. The problem of this kind may encounter in automatic industries related to geophysical and geothermal applications where surface heat and mass transport takes place. Effects of involved controlling Physical quantities of the governing systems on heat and mass transfer rates as well as temperature and concentration profiles are reported with the help of tables and graphs. The obtained result indicates that temperature profiles are lesser in the revolution of flow over cone compared to paraboloid and cylinder type of body revolution. This result helps us to conclude the revolution of flow over cone is useful for cooling treatments.
