The purpose of this paper is to examine the effects of natural convection flow of viscoelastic polydimethylsiloxane non-Newtonian nanofluid under the impact of nanoparticles of different materials past a vertical cone. The implications for operating parameters have been investigated using tables and it is noticed that the nanoparticles unveil substantial impact on the thermal conductivity of base fluid. The temperature profile and the rate of heat transfer behave as an increasing function of nanoparticles. It is found that tiny size particles are more efficacious as compared to large particles on the rate of heat transfer and fluid motion. To validate the current methodology, a numerical comparison is posed with previously published data.
